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.

wide usable power range

good automatic gearbox with extended functionality

suitable for both road and track use

comprehensive electronics

good suspension, good brakes

Low-mounted handlebar stems, which result in uncomfortable ergonomics for the wrists and neck

Honda CBR600RR 2009

The new Honda CBR600RR divides minds above all with its idiosyncratic front - and that's a good thing, after all, this makes it perceived as completely new and different from its predecessor. That this is not the case is proven by the rest of the machine, the high-mounted rear silencer, the chassis and the engine are largely unchanged.

Super design

sporty look

powerful engine

pleasant ergonomics

optimal braking system.

The fittings could have been done better - at least in terms of appearance.
