Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM RC 8C 2024
The RC 8C is a riding machine that not only leads professionals to fast lap times, but also puts a grin on the face of the average rider. Light-footed and precise like an elf on rails, it shows its strength particularly on fast-moving and technically demanding courses. Even though the engine has easy play thanks to the low overall weight and performs well at low revs, as a Horsepower-spoilt superbike rider I would like to see it wind out a bit more aggressively. Nevertheless, for most people it will probably be the key to a lot of riding pleasure and fast lap times without any conversion work.
Yamaha R9 2025
The Yamaha R9 is not a feel-good motorbike for leisurely country road tours - and that's a good thing. It appeals to ambitious riders who are looking for a sporty machine that also excites off the race track. The engine is outstanding, the suspension is top-notch and the brakes are excellent. Only the demanding ergonomics make the Yamaha R9 less attractive for long-distance riders or pleasure bikers. However, if you are looking for a sharp country road weapon with trackday potential, the R9 is an extremely well-rounded and affordable overall package. Be sure to test ride it! This is the only way to find out whether you are the type for the physical and direct nature of the Yamaha R9.
