Ducati Hypermotard 796 2011
Anyone who describes themselves as a risk-conscious, but at the same time risk-averse and stylish bon vivant should give the Hypermotard a try. But the test ride should take longer than usual - about an hour. That's how long it takes for the Hyper spark to take hold and for you to understand the Hypermotard.
Yamaha MT-09 2016
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.
