Yamaha MT-125 2019

Model change done right! Yamaha has taken the cake with the new MT-125. The magnificent single-cylinder coupled with the sporty chassis brings unbelievable riding fun that knows no age limits. Whether young or old - with such driving qualities, the competition has to dress warmly! Due to its sporty design, everyday comfort may have to suffer, but as soon as the roads get twisty, the MT-125 is forgiven for its harshness. A motorbike you can own with a lot of pride!

Honda CB500F 2019

Honda CB500F 2019

In summary, the new CB500F still fully lives up to the motto "playful and effortless". Thanks to modifications in the intake and exhaust area, the engine now delivers 4% more in the rev range between 3,000 and 7,000 revs, which should be positively noticeable in the less fast but all the more important everyday operation. The other innovations such as the anti-hopping clutch, LCD display with gear indicator and the proud handlebars make life even easier for two-wheeled beginners. In my opinion, there is no need for traction control on A2 machines. On the contrary, I think it can't hurt to learn how to use the right hand yourself at the beginning. The CB500F is indeed ideally suited for precisely this beginning. And experienced riders could also be truly thrilled by its smoothness. Especially when the road goes downhill.

Playful and easy to handle

high-revving engine with linear power delivery

low fuel consumption

smooth clutch
