BMW R 1300 GS Adventure 2025 vs. Yamaha MT-07 Y-AMT 2026

Very accessible, easy to ride bike

Y-AMT takes the stress out of everyday life, city traffic and critical situations

Ideal for beginners, returning riders and relaxed everyday riders

Manual Y-AMT mode works like a precise finger quickshifter

More stability when leaning due to permanently steady left foot

Prevents downshifting too early (engine protection, safety)

Strong character, revvy CP2 engine

Large accessories market, high level of customisability

Proven reliability and suitability for everyday use

Automatic mode on the race track sometimes choppy and unpredictable

No lean angle-dependent shift logic

Shifting in automatic mode is sometimes rough

Sporty riders miss some feedback from the front wheel

For purists, "the flavour" of classic clutching is missing
