KTM RC 390 2015

KTM RC 390 2015

If you can afford to pay around 8,500 euros (Germany) or just under 9,000 euros (Austria) for the RC390 R and then have around 11,000 flakes left over for the SSP 300 kit, you will get world championship-ready racing goods. "Ready to Race", the name says it all, really. In this case, "Ready to win the World Championship" would almost be more accurate, because the parts kit is actually so complete and complies with the FIM regulations. KTM is doing everything it can to accommodate all those who are considering a serious entry into the racing world, especially of course all the young hopefuls out there. KTM Customer Racing, I pull my helmet! Bravo!

Never before has it been easier to get hold of a World Championship-ready racing machine.

The realisation that I will probably not become a gifted ring rider.

BMW F 800 R 2015

BMW F 800 R 2015

The F 800 R is a motorbike without any real weaknesses, but remains rather unobtrusive overall even after the update. A very positive feature is the overall equipment, which is of very high quality in this league.

High-quality equipment such as ESA, RDC and ASC

very universally usable

fast to ride and still comfortable

The affordable entry-level bike becomes relatively high-priced when you implement all the extras

terrific on paper and while riding, but it lacks that certain something to become "cult" like a Monster or a Street Triple.
