Yamaha R125 2011

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.

The KTM 390 Duke is a bike that can polarise. Its strengths lie in its extensive electronic equipment, agile handling and ability to serve as a fun bike for young riders. However, the firm riding position and inconsistent engine tuning could be annoying for experienced riders. Yet the KTM 390 Duke offers plenty of riding pleasure, especially in urban environments and on sporty rides.
