Yamaha R3 2025

Yamaha R3 2025

It's fun - that's how short and concise a summary can be. The new Yamaha R3 is a bike that doesn't overtax anyone and is still fun even for experienced riders. The engine has plenty of power and is well setup, the suspension is just the right size - the same applies to the brakes. This is how smooth and harmonious an A2 sports motorbike can be.

Good ergonomics - also for taller riders

good engine

quickshifter optionally available

easy handling

surprisingly good suspension

good features and very sporty look

high build quality

LCD display only, the little sister R125 already has a TFT dashboard

optional quickshifter could work more finely

KTM RC 8C 2024

KTM RC 8C 2024

The RC 8C is a riding machine that not only leads professionals to fast lap times, but also puts a grin on the face of the average rider. Light-footed and precise like an elf on rails, it shows its strength particularly on fast-moving and technically demanding courses. Even though the engine has easy play thanks to the low overall weight and performs well at low revs, as a Horsepower-spoilt superbike rider I would like to see it wind out a bit more aggressively. Nevertheless, for most people it will probably be the key to a lot of riding pleasure and fast lap times without any conversion work.
