Yamaha MT-125 2020

Yamaha MT-125 2020

The Yamaha MT 125 is an elegant yet sporty naked bike that delivers a lot of power, especially in the lower rev range. The upright seating position and good handling round off the MT. The disadvantages, however, are that no LED turn signals have been installed and that you protrude above the speedometer when your upper body is bent forward.

Sporty and comfortable

Good chassis

Versatile

No LED turn signals

sitting position that takes some getting used to with the upper body tilted forwards

KTM 890 Duke R 2022

KTM 890 Duke R 2022

The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.

powerful and rev-happy engine

finely controllable response

good (optional) quickshifter

sporty seating position ensures great front-wheel feel

high-quality adjustable suspension

powerful Brembo brakes

low vehicle weight

extensive (partly optional) electronics

Sitting position more demanding than on the basic model

tight basic set-up not to everyone's taste
