Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R125 2013

In the course of our 125cc special, we tested the Yamaha YZF-R125 together with "Psycho Philipp" on the kart and supermoto track in Wöllersdorf. This year we were already on the road with Yamaha's eight-litre supersports bike at the Pannoniaring at the Gripparty and were able to convince ourselves that it can even stand up to its full-grown peers. On the miniature ring of the "Actionsracers", the little super sports bike was then really in its element.

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2020

KTM has done everything right with the new Superduke 1290 R. The sportier seating position that results from the new frame is perfect for the fast attack, the engine has lost none of its power despite Euro 5, but has also become more refined in conjunction with the more sensitive electronics.
