KTM RC 390 2017

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.

Friends of real supersports bikes listen up, because the Yamaha YZF-R125 could be just the right bike for you in the A1 class. The Yamaha focuses entirely on a sporty appearance, which is not only evident in the R6-like look, but can also be felt in the seating position. The load on the wrists is super-sporty and the knee angle is sharp - perhaps too sharp for tall riders. In return, the YZF-R125 rewards not only with a cool appearance, but also with a very potent engine and a confidence-inspiring chassis that invites high cornering speeds.
