Kawasaki Ninja 650 2018

The Ninja 650 firmly stamps its predecessor (Er-6f). The engine has mastered the Euro 4 hurdle well and serves up a very usable 68 hp, the chassis is simply great for this class, and the weight reduction of 18(!) kilos compared to the ER-6f justifies reverent nods.

Transparent chassis for sport

playful and good-natured handling, excellent brakes, sharp looks a la ZX-10R

resilient engine.

Little sound from the series pot

Yamaha R125 2014

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.
