These are the best entry-level supersport motorcycles 2025

The 1000PS editorial team has already tested numerous models this year and has now selected its favorites. These entry-level supersport bikes were the most convincing.

Although entry-level supersports bikes are not a particularly large segment of the motorcycle market, they are often the gateway drug for sporty young riders. We have tested all supersports bikes up to 48 hp that were newly available and evaluated them as part of the 1000PS Top Awards.
