Yamaha WR 250R 2008

Yamaha WR 250R 2008

250 cc 4-stroke, is that even possible? And then a supposedly tamed version of the competition version WR250F. But what has to be said about this new Yamaha WR250R is that the list price of €6695 and then the 2-year mobility guarantee and 4-year warranty put everything in the shade. The WR250F has proven since 2001 that it has a lot going for it.

Well-working, controllable brakes

good handling

plenty of power

optimal in nimble spots

low list price.

Chassis sags on long tables

takes getting used to

not a particularly nice sound

KTM 790 Duke 2020

KTM 790 Duke 2020

A sporty naked bike that not only has enough power, but also playful handling and high-quality equipment - the KTM 790 Duke ticks all the boxes. If the looks don't bother you, it's hard to find anything the 790 can't do well, because in its hunting ground - the country road - it forms a wonderfully rounded package that doesn't really leave anything to be desired. Initial teething troubles have also been solved, which is why the KTM 790 Duke is still a real recommendation!

high-revving two-cylinder

quickshifter + as standard

great chassis set-up

playful handling

high-quality electronics package

TFT display

good price/performance ratio

Suspension spring preload adjustable at the rear only
