Online motorcycle comparison
Motorcycle comparison: compare before you buy
ComparaTuMoto is a free motorcycle comparison tool to compare new bikes side by side: specs, power (hp), torque, weight, seat height, tank capacity and licence type. A clear motorbike comparison to help you decide between models such as the Yamaha MT-07 and the Kawasaki Z650, the Honda CB750 Hornet and the Triumph Trident 660, or the BMW R 1300 GS and the Ducati Multistrada V4.
You will find comparisons of naked, adventure, sports and custom bikes, scooters and A2 licence motorcycles, plus owner reviews, buying guides and test-ride videos for every model.
Pick up to three motorcycles and you will see their power, torque, weight, seat height, tank size and required licence side by side, plus a radar chart summarising performance, agility, comfort, technology and value for money.
Is it free to compare motorcycles on ComparaTuMoto?
Yes. The comparison tool, spec sheets, buying guides and reviews are free and you don't need to register.
Which motorcycles can I compare?
404 popular models in Europe from brands such as Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, BMW, Ducati, KTM, Triumph, Suzuki, Royal Enfield and CFMoto: naked, adventure, sports, custom, scooters and A2 licence bikes.

Legal information
Legal notice and terms of use
Last updated: 26 September 2026 · This translation is provided for information only; the Spanish version prevails.
1. Owner details
In accordance with article 10 of Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE), the identification and contact details of the owner of this website are:
Owner: Albert Hernández Bayes
Contact email: hernandezbayesalbert@gmail.com
Website: comparatumoto.com (ComparaTuMoto)
2. Purpose
ComparaTuMoto is an independent information website for comparing motorcycle specifications, browsing spec sheets, reading buying guides, sharing owner reviews and discovering accessories. It does not sell motorcycles and has no commercial relationship with the manufacturers or dealers mentioned.
3. Terms of use
Access to the website is free and requires no registration. Users agree to make proper use of the content, not to use it for unlawful activities, and not to publish offensive, defamatory, discriminatory or unauthorised advertising content, or content that infringes the rights of third parties.
By publishing a review, a reply or a photo, you declare that the content is yours, that it reflects your real experience and that it does not infringe the rights of third parties. You authorise the owner, free of charge and on a non-exclusive basis, to display it on this website for as long as you do not delete it.
4. Accuracy of information
Technical specifications are for guidance only and come from data sheets published by manufacturers for European versions; they may vary by year, version and market. Radar chart scores marked as “editorial rating” are the opinion of our editors. Before buying, always confirm the details, price and equipment with the manufacturer or dealer. The owner accepts no liability for decisions made solely on the basis of this information.
The website's tools (finance payment, annual cost, guide insurance price, A2 licence checker and recommendation quiz) give estimates based on general assumptions. For example, the monthly payment is calculated with a 20% deposit, 48 months and a nominal interest rate of 8.99%. They are not finance or insurance offers, nor financial advice: the actual terms are set by each provider.
5. User reviews and content
Reviews, replies and comments posted by users express only the views of their authors. The owner reserves the right to remove, without notice, any content that breaches these terms or applicable law. If you spot inappropriate content, write to hernandezbayesalbert@gmail.com.
How reviews work: they are written by visitors to the website, without registering. We do not check that the reviewer owns or has owned the motorcycle, we do not pay or give anything in exchange for reviews and we do not edit them. They are published as written, positive and negative, and only those that break these terms are removed. Photos are published after we review them.
Reports of illegal content: to report content you believe is illegal, write to hernandezbayesalbert@gmail.com with the link and the reason. We will review it and reply to you. This email address is also the point of contact for users and authorities for the purposes of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065).
6. Intellectual and industrial property
The design, original texts and code of the website belong to the owner. The motorcycle brands, models and logos mentioned belong to their respective manufacturers and are cited for information and comparison purposes only.
Most of the motorcycle photos come from Wikimedia Commons and are used under their licences (Creative Commons BY, BY-SA, CC0 and public domain). Some models without a free photo have an image generated with artificial intelligence (Artlist) or a manufacturer press photo. The source, author and licence of each image are shown in the “Photo credits” section of the footer. The linked videos belong to their authors and are hosted on YouTube.
The images of the motorcycles on a white background were obtained by editing those photographs with artificial intelligence tools (Artlist image generation): the background, people and other objects were removed, and the motorcycle was recreated in a studio side view. That is why each one carries the note “edited with AI” in the “Photo credits” section of the footer. They are approximate representations: some details, such as the colour, graphics or small parts, may not exactly match the original unit. They are published under the same licence as the source photo.
If you hold the rights to any image or text and do not agree with its use, write to us at hernandezbayesalbert@gmail.com and we will remove it.
7. External links
The website contains links to third-party sites (YouTube, Amazon, search engines and forums). The owner does not control those sites and is not responsible for their content or privacy policies.
8. Advertising and affiliation
This website is funded by third-party advertising (Google AdSense), marked with the label “Advertising”, and by the Amazon Associates Programme. Ads only load if you accept them in the cookie notice. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links only appear in the “Accessories” section. The product price is the same for you. Advertisers have no influence on comparisons or ratings.
9. Prices, purchases, returns and refunds
ComparaTuMoto does not sell products or services and does not charge its users anything, so there are no purchases, deliveries, returns or refunds on this website. The prices we show are approximate. If you buy something through a link (for example, on Amazon), your contract is with that seller and is governed by its terms of sale, returns and refunds.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the website or the law changes. The date of the last update appears at the top of this page.
11. Applicable law
These terms are governed by Spanish law. For any dispute, the parties submit to the courts that have jurisdiction under applicable law; if the user is a consumer, those of their place of residence.
