Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Niken 2018

Yamaha Niken 2018

The Yamaha Niken is a bike that many have judged too quickly. Yes, it looks a bit odd. Yes, it’s heavy. Yes, in the long run, the front end demands more attention than a standard bike. But it works. It handles surprisingly much like a conventional bike, offers good ergonomics and inspires confidence where other bikes require the rider to work harder. It’s particularly interesting on the second-hand market, as the small market and limited demand can keep prices down.

Extremely high confidence at the front

a surprisingly motorbike-like riding experience

good ergonomics

a powerful CP3 three-cylinder engine

a solid basis for touring with accessories.

heavy

less direct steering response at the front wheel

increased maintenance requirements due to two front wheels and four fork legs

Yamaha MT-09 2022

Yamaha MT-09 2022

Yes, Yamaha has produced a really leiwandes bike. All the criticisms of its predecessor have been successfully revised without neutering the wild and playful nature of the MT-09. The fourth generation is more mature, more precise and more polished, rides more neutrally and is more stable without losing its light-footedness. A marvellous bike that currently offers an almost unbeatable price-performance ratio thanks to many detail improvements and has now even become really pretty. The Yamaha dealers won't be able to save themselves from orders after test rides. Let's hope that availability is guaranteed, because the new MT-09 is the definition of the word "direct hit"!

powerful acceleration in every situation / potent engine

aggressive but not too loud sound

improved ergonomics for more feedback and confidence

very good brakes

lavish basic options

precise chassis with good everyday tuning

nice display, good operation

extremely good price-performance ratio

no windscreen

fiddly indicator function
