Yamaha MT-03 2025

Yamaha MT-03 2025

The MT-03 remains Yamaha's most accessible and pragmatic Hyper Naked in the segment. It scores with its low seat height, the easily controllable power of the two-cylinder and at the same time offers enough comfort for commuters. What it may lack in sportiness, it makes up for in comfort, making it perfect for people looking for a well-functioning motorbike with a brutal look. However, you shouldn't be too big, and you shouldn't aspire to keep up with the other models in the MT range at the angle - because that's not what it was designed for. The 2020 model year is thus a coherent update that is sure to make its buyers happy.

Easily controlled power

low seat height

easy to ride

low fuel consumption

neatly readable LC display

aggressive look

acute knee angle for tall people

soft chassis compared to other Yamaha MT models

not necessarily the most emotional motorbike

Kawasaki Versys 1100 2026

Kawasaki Versys 1100 2026

There is probably not a single owner of a Kawasaki Versys 1100 who is not satisfied with its riding characteristics. It simply rides well. On the other hand, I have never heard anyone say: "The Versys looks really cool!" Even owners just say "Well, it's not that ugly". Anyone who is above that will be happy with the Versys - a really good bike.

Surprisingly dynamic and agile riding performance

Excellent wind protection

Easy handling even at low speeds

Good power delivery from the four-cylinder engine

Very good price-performance ratio

Excellent cornering behaviour

High seating, aerodynamic and riding comfort

Unspectacular appearance that does not convey any dynamics

Only manually adjustable windscreen

Complicated operating concept
