Suzuki GSX-R 125 2023

Maybe not in comparison with its big sisters, but in this class the GSX-R125 still passes for a real super sports bike. With a power output of 15 hp and a 6-speed gearbox, the Gixxer accelerates briskly towards the horizon, up to 125 km/h, thanks to its low weight of 134 kg. The lowest weight in the class also has a positive effect on the riding dynamics; the GSX-R125 can be thrown playfully from bend to bend. Only when the going gets really fast do you wish you had more feeling for the front wheel and better brakes.

Despite the rather idiosyncratic combination of the sensible 73.4 hp mid-range power unit and the extremely aggressive, sporty look, the R7 is by no means a sheep in wolf's clothing. The performance, which is somewhere between the R3 and the R6, turned out to be much stronger in practice than the pure values on paper would suggest, and in terms of geometry, chassis, brakes and tyres, Yamaha's engineers have really done their homework. On top of that, the Yamaha R7 has all the qualities to have a lot of fun out-of-the-box on a compact race track like the Pannoniaring, for example, even without a big investment. But of course it feels better on the country road, and that's where it belongs in the first place, in our opinion. In view of the overall package, the purchase price is more than fairly priced - so it's not a problem that the quickshifter is not included and has to be purchased as an option.

high-torque CP2 engine

sporty riding position

suspension set-up

standard tyres

good entry-level trackday bike.

Quickshifter as standard would have been nice
