Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB125R 2018

Honda CB125R 2018

If you prefer a retro look in the 125cc class, the Honda CB125R is exactly the right bike. Not only does it look very grown-up, the components installed are also of very high quality, as is typical of Honda. Even though the engine only produces 13.3 hp, the CB125R compensates well for the missing 1.7 hp with its ready-to-ride weight of only 126 kg. On the chassis and braking system side, the Honda is clearly ahead of the competition and is reminiscent of much more powerful motorbikes in the naked bike class.

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.
