Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2024

The Yamaha MT-09 SP is a bike for connoisseurs - for riders who understand that perfection does not always lie in flawless smoothness, but sometimes in deliberate imperfection. It offers a unique blend of Japanese reliability, Swedish suspension expertise and Italian brakes passion, packed into a naked bike that cuts a fine figure both on country roads and in city traffic. If you are prepared to embrace the character of this three-cylinder and invest the extra price for the SP features, you will get a bike that is more than the sum of its parts - a vehicle with soul.

BMW F 800 R 2017

With a EURO4 engine, new riding modes, new instruments and new colours, the F 800 R starts the new season. It is recognisable at first glance only by the end cap on the stately stainless steel exhaust. It is one of those full-grown motorbikes that, despite its considerable sporting potential, was designed for the widest possible user group. Therefore, it is absolutely beginner-friendly (throttled), but can also inspire an experienced audience. Its character remains somewhat pragmatic, but the unmistakable, hollow sound of the inline two compensates for this.

low weight
