Overview - MV Agusta Brutale 800 2016 vs Yamaha MT-09 2017
The MV Agusta Brutale 800 2016 and the Yamaha MT-09 2017 are both naked bikes with similar engine power, torque, and cylinder configuration. However, there are several differences between the two models.
In terms of engine displacement, the MV Agusta Brutale 800 has a smaller engine at 798cc compared to the Yamaha MT-09's 847cc engine. This may result in slightly different performance characteristics and power delivery.
Both bikes feature upside-down telescopic forks in the front suspension, but the MV Agusta Brutale 800 has a single swing arm rear suspension while the Yamaha MT-09 has a swing arm suspension. This could affect the handling and stability of the bikes.

Moving on to the strengths of each bike, the MV Agusta Brutale 800 2016 offers a smooth and precise automatic gearshift up and down, a tight chassis with lots of feedback, and a rev-happy three-cylinder engine with a great husky sound. On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 has strengths such as Öhlins suspension for extreme enrichment, improved optics and sound thanks to Akrapovic, a divine Magura HC3 radial brake pump, grandiose optics with Carbon2Race covers, and an effective combination of seat, footrests, and handlebar clamps.
In terms of weaknesses, the MV Agusta Brutale 800 2016 has a slightly rough throttle response and responsiveness, especially in "Sport" mode. On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 has weaknesses such as a higher financial outlay, more working time required, certain parts that need to be registered, and an ECU Flash that is not road legal.
Overall, the MV Agusta Brutale 800 2016 and the Yamaha MT-09 2017 are both powerful naked bikes with their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between the two will depend on the rider's preferences and priorities, such as desired performance characteristics, handling, advanced rider assistance systems, and budget.

In conclusion, after several stops throughout the season, I can look back on a great result. Both in terms of performance and looks, our MT-09 is perfect. The suspension was probably our most important issue. Where before there was clearly (too much) movement in the rear in fast corners, now it is ironed over without batting an eyelid. The STX 46 shock absorber is quite stiff in its basic configuration, but also manages to get through everyday life without being uncomfortable. Thanks to generous adjustment options, there is still room for individual preferences and uses. The function of the NIX 30 cartridge is also impressive. The response behaviour - especially under load - has improved significantly. There is now also much more reserve available when braking. Where before the fork went into block and the ABS triggered when braking hard with the original set-up, now the brakes simply continue to work effectively. In addition, the MT-09 now follows the intended line in the curve radius as if by itself - a pure pleasure. The sight and sound of the Akrapovic complete system are also pure joy, and the fact that it produces a few more horsepower is felt effectively, especially in the upper third of the rev range. The front wheel shoots even more willingly into the gallery in 2nd and 3rd gear.
