Honda CBR 300 R 2015

Honda CBR 300 R 2015

Small supersport bikes, especially those under the 500 cubic metre limit, are unfortunately still ridiculed. But when it comes to fun and sporty riding, it's not necessarily the power that counts. The overall set-up has to be right, as do the individual components, which is the case with the CBR 300 R. The design looks grown-up, slim and elegant. The design looks mature, slim and sharp, the weight is a dream value in the supersport sector and the brakes are as sensitive as they are biting. If you give the CBR 300 R a good spin and let it run, many people will stop laughing.

Super-sporty design

very good brakes

clear instruments

high fun factor

Needs a lot of revs

sitting position strenuous in the long run

The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
