Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2021

The Yamaha MT-10 SP inspires with a high degree of perfection combined with a truckload of emotion. Rarely do Japanese manufacturers succeed in penetrating so deeply into the domain of Europeans. The bike rides very nastily when needed, but can also be used quite civilly in city traffic. On top of that, the electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension provides a lot of riding comfort. All in all, an outstanding all-rounder that can do much more than just look bad.

Unconventional sound

wonderfully punchy engine

high-quality chassis and suspension

acceptable wind protection

surprisingly comfortable seating position

Traction control and ABS not dependent on lean angle

shift assistant not flawless and without blipper

high price

Honda CBR650R E-Clutch 2025

The Honda CBR650R is a great mid-range supersports bike for the country road, which manages the balancing act between sportiness and accessibility very well. But other bikes in this class also manage this. What makes the CBR special is the old-school in-line four-cylinder engine at its heart. You won't win any acceleration races with it, but the in-line four inspires with its silky power delivery and screaming revviness in the upper rev range. And with the new E-Clutch technology, you can get the most out of the engine with crisp gear changes and massively increase comfort in city traffic thanks to the electronic operation of the clutch.

Screeching, "old-school" in-line four-cylinder that tempts you to wind out a gear

stable, but not overly hard fork

well-tuned brakes

sporty, but not too extreme ergonomics

great e-clutch system

Beautiful TFT display with intuitive operating concept

Shock could be more stable when leaning

Knee angle can be quite sharp with lengthy legs
