Yamaha motorcycles
Four Yamaha models on the books, from the MT-03 at €6,899 to the Tenere 700 at €11,199, scored between 41.3 and 55.6 out of 100. Scores are computed within each bike's own class, so the small bikes are ranked against their own rivals rather than against their bigger siblings; the Yamaha that does best in its class is the MT-09 at 55.6. The MT-03 is the lightest at 167 kg wet, the cheapest at €6,899 and the longest between oil services at 10,000 km. Scheduled servicing runs from roughly €220 per 10,000 km on the MT-09 to €230 on the MT-07, on the workshop rates published with every maintenance guide. The most powerful is the MT-09 with 119 hp, which the formula weighs against weight, price and running costs rather than taking at face value. Every figure comes from a spec sheet and feeds the same 100-point formula, so the order below is arithmetic rather than brand loyalty. Each card links to the bike's maintenance guide and its closest head to heads, and the table underneath puts the whole range in one place.
