Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R3 2015

Yamaha R3 2015

Yamaha sees its R3 more in line with the equally versatile Kawasaki Ninja 300, but the price is even higher than that of the KTM390. This makes the YZF-R3 a premium product, which is a bold decision in this class. But the overall package offers corresponding value: sporty engine, stable chassis, strong brakes, sensational top speed. Direct comparison will show who really has the edge. In any case, the R3 is a hot contender for the number 1 spot.

Yamaha R1 2016

Yamaha R1 2016

Yamaha's high-tech rocket is still a technological leader in 2016. Radical, polarising and fascinating, it sets powerful lap times. It is closer to the race bikes than the other 1000s. In the meantime, no one grumbles about the front. Without the "M", it is the best choice for those who don't need Öhlins anyway, or the best choice for those who are planning a racetrack conversion anyway and like to install "normal" Öhlins hardware without electric stuff.

Lively handling

high-revving and precisely controllable engine

excellent electronics package

Shift assistant only for upshifting
