Aprilia Tuono 125 2018

The Aprilia Tuono 125 remains a very competitive A1 naked bike even with the tough competition from the 2018 model year. Thanks to its stable chassis and high-quality chassis components, it is a real fun machine in twisty terrain - especially if you have installed the 166cc conversion kit. However, its looks and instrumentation are starting to put it behind the competition, which is already coming up with technologies such as TFT and LED. Nevertheless, the Aprilia Tuono 125 is still a good tip for sporty, ambitious 125cc riders.
Yamaha R1 2015

The new R1 is a big hit and no longer compares to the previous model. This was considered a good country road bike and heavy investments had to be made for excursions to the race track. Now it is the other way round. The new R1 has been developed with a clear focus on the race track. The electronics package seems outstanding, technology freaks will get their money's worth. Yamaha fans have to buy it, they finally have a worthy motorbike. The R1 has slight weaknesses when braking - it becomes a little unstable here. If you want to buy a ready-made racing bike without having to work on the chassis, you'd better go for the R1M. The Öhlins electronic suspension works perfectly and has no weaknesses. For pure racetrack use, the second weakness of the R1 can easily be ironed out. The torque hole in the middle can be easily ironed out with a new mapping.
