Honda SH300i 2016

Honda SH300i 2016

The new SH300i again presents itself as a practical and surprisingly sporty big-wheel scooter, but it can do almost everything better than its predecessor. The fact that the power and torque are marginally lower will be quite tolerable when you hear that the mid-range offers a bit more punch as a result. You will hardly feel it anyway, there was absolutely no need to act on the sporty talents of the SH300i. Storage space, on the other hand, has been improved: a full-face helmet of normal size now fits under the seat. Additional comfort features such as the Honda Smart Key System, which allows the ignition key to simply be left in the pocket, and a 12-volt socket under the seat make the SH300i even more interesting. And finally, the look has also been upgraded; thanks to the full LED lighting, it now looks sportier without alienating the regular customers.

Yamaha R9 2025

Yamaha R9 2025

The Yamaha R9 is not a feel-good motorbike for leisurely country road tours - and that's a good thing. It appeals to ambitious riders who are looking for a sporty machine that also excites off the race track. The engine is outstanding, the suspension is top-notch and the brakes are excellent. Only the demanding ergonomics make the Yamaha R9 less attractive for long-distance riders or pleasure bikers. However, if you are looking for a sharp country road weapon with trackday potential, the R9 is an extremely well-rounded and affordable overall package. Be sure to test ride it! This is the only way to find out whether you are the type for the physical and direct nature of the Yamaha R9.

Large usable power range

good automatic gearshift with extended functionality

suitable for road and race track use

extensive electronics

good suspension, good brakes

Low-mounted handlebar ends, which makes for strenuous ergonomics for the wrists and neck
