Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2024

The Yamaha MT-09 SP already had it easy in the previous generation, as it is the even more refined version of an already really good, because wonderfully agile fun machine! The current SP version is no different, but it has been improved even further. A little more power, increased torque and better-tuned electronics make it even more fun. As expected, the suspension with classier KYB and Öhlins components works excellently, the brakes could be a little sharper, but the seating position is still what you would expect from such an agile and easily controllable fun machine. The few quirks like the small TFT display or the controversial light mask in no way make it worse, but simply an even more independent personality!

Tough guys who want to pass for 1000cc riders at the regulars' table as conquerors of a beast should not go for the CBR. The Fireblade is not too much for a 600cc beginner. You can approach your personal limit amazingly safely. In fact, this is the Fireblade's greatest asset compared to the other 1000s on the market.
