Honda CB300R 2019

With 300cc and 31 hp, the CB300R clearly belongs in the category of the more exotic representatives among the naked bikes. It may not be the most powerful bike in its class, but it is by far one of the handiest of its kind. The CB300R has extremely smooth turn-in behaviour that is almost on a par with the 125. However, the bike can score points with a more powerful engine and better chassis. The retro look of the 300 version is even better than that of its little sister and, for us, represents a real enrichment for the A2 segment.

The XSR125 may look retro, but it is highly modern. After all, the 125cc engine even has variable valve timing! This allows for decent riding dynamics, because the handling is also very successful in combination with the comparatively low weight. Nevertheless, the operation is generally very simple and uncomplicated, which is why even novice riders and beginners are not overwhelmed. The price is also acceptable, although at first glance it seems quite high compared to the performance, but it is usually even higher among the competition. The successful retro look alone is worth wanting the XSR125!
