I'm torn on it. I love that Yamaha went out on a limb, but I'm not sure it quite works. It’s unique, but perhaps not in the best way?

Best part of the design is the headlights! This cool, almost robotic face they give the BW's 125 is the perfect face to go with its urban adventurer vibe.

I think people overthink it. It's a little quirky, but it's the charm of it. Not all bikes need to turn out like they just rolled off a sport bike production line.

I've had both and the handling on the Street Triple is quite a bit sharper. It's more comfortable for longer ride though the MT 09.

Is the MT 09 throttle too aggressive?

I think Yamaha tried to make it feel exciting, and went a little too far. In wet conditions, it can be downright dangerous.
