Now let's discuss the strengths of each bike. The XSR900 has a greedy engine that delivers powerful performance. It also has well-tuned riding modes, ABS, and TC as standard features. The bike's authentic modern design and clean workmanship are also notable strengths.
On the other hand, the MT-09 has a wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant. It offers three power modes and has a fully adjustable chassis, allowing riders to customize their riding experience. The bike also comes with a quickshifter as standard and has a sporty upright seating position. The MT-09's good brakes and aggressive looks are also worth mentioning, as well as its traction control feature.

However, both bikes have their weaknesses as well. The XSR900 has a hard chassis, which may result in a less comfortable ride. The seat could also be more comfortable for long tours. Additionally, the speedblock design of the XSR900 is already present on many other Yamaha models, which may make it less unique.
As for the MT-09, its saddle is also considered a little too hard for long tours. The license plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one, which could be a disadvantage in wet conditions.
In conclusion, both the Yamaha XSR900 2016 and the Yamaha MT-09 2016 have their own strengths and weaknesses. The XSR900 excels in terms of its engine performance, riding modes, and design, while the MT-09 stands out with its powerful three-cylinder engine, adjustable chassis, and sporty seating position. However, riders should consider the potential drawbacks of each bike, such as the XSR900's hard chassis and the MT-09's less protective license plate holder.

Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XSR900 2016
The XSR900 combines the performance of a sporty streetfighter with the look of a pleasing, cleanly finished retro naked bike. In doing so, the Japanese make use of their own history, which can be found bundled and without gaps in the archive of the design agency that has been working for Yamaha for 60 years. It adopts the virtues of the MT-09 and has mended some of its weaknesses. It rides more harmoniously, more controlled and, if desired, more relaxed. Only the comfort, and thus the rider, suffers from the tight chassis on bad roads. You have to be a little bit sensitive when it comes to a neo-classic.

The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.
