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 – all-round 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-07 2025
The new Yamaha MT-07 is the best ever. The criticisms and wishes of MT-07 riders have been heard and implemented. The new MT-07 rides better in every respect, is more stable and makes the spread even wider: both beginners and novices will be able to cope with it, as well as more experienced riders, as it is now a more mature, more potent bike. It has closed the gap to the competition, only in terms of pure engine power it is still 10-20 Horsepower behind the competition. But that's not too bad, as the CP2 engine is still a guarantee for riding pleasure and a wide grin under the helmet. Whether or not you should choose the optional Y-AMT transmission is something you should definitely try out for yourself as part of a test ride - the surcharge for this is humane. Therefore: Big praise to the Yamaha engineers who have significantly upgraded their mega-seller without changing the character of the MT-07. However, Yamaha now has one problem: the residual values of the previous three generations will probably tumble, as the differences to the current generation are noticeably large. And as we all know, the better is the enemy of the good.
