Okay, many competitors have disappeared from the BMW G 310 R with more displacement and thus more horsepower. But in the 300cc class, the small R is a really honest naked bike: the engine revs agilely, the handling is lively yet stable, the brakes work satisfactorily and the look is quite convincing with the fat, golden fork and the modern elements.

Yamaha MT-03 2019

Yamaha MT-03 2019

The MT-03 remains Yamaha's most accessible and pragmatic Hyper Naked in the segment. It scores with its low seat height, the easily controllable power of the two-cylinder and at the same time offers enough comfort for commuters. What it may lack in sportiness, it makes up for in comfort, making it perfect for people looking for a well-functioning motorbike with a brutal look. However, you shouldn't be too big, and you shouldn't aspire to keep up with the other models in the MT range at the angle - because that's not what it was designed for. The 2020 model year is thus a coherent update that is sure to make its buyers happy.

Well controllable power

Low seat height

Easy to ride

Low consumption

Easy to read LC display

Aggressive look

Sharp knee angle for tall people

Soft chassis compared to other Yamaha MT models

Not the most emotional motorbike
