Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2019
The Yamaha MT-09 is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground!
Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2021
The Street Triple R is well equipped for the occasional track day and delivers good performance. This is where the lively three-cylinder engine really comes into its own. But the agile Triumph is also great fun on country roads, as long as you keep it revved up. All in all, the clear price-performance winner of the Street Triple range.
