Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R9 2025
The Yamaha R9 isn’t a feel-good motorbike for leisurely country road rides – and that’s just as well. It appeals to ambitious riders looking for a sporty machine that’s just as thrilling off the race track. The engine is outstanding, the suspension is top-notch, and the brakes are excellent. It’s only the demanding ergonomics that make the Yamaha R9 less appealing to long-distance riders or leisurely bikers. However, anyone looking for a sharp country-road machine with track-day potential will find the R9 to be an extremely well-rounded and, for what it offers, even good-value package. You absolutely must take it for a test ride! That’s the only way to find out whether you’re the sort of rider suited to the Yamaha R9’s physical and direct character.
Yamaha MT-09 2024
Yes, Yamaha has produced a really leiwandes bike. All the criticisms of its predecessor have been successfully revised without neutering the wild and playful nature of the MT-09. The fourth generation is more mature, more precise and more polished, rides more neutrally and is more stable without losing its light-footedness. A marvellous bike that currently offers an almost unbeatable price-performance ratio thanks to many detail improvements and has now even become really pretty. The Yamaha dealers won't be able to save themselves from orders after test rides. Let's hope that availability is guaranteed, because the new MT-09 is the definition of the word "direct hit"!
