Honda CBR 250 R 2011

All in all, the CBR250R rides almost like a real grown-up motorbike and is therefore more fun than you would expect, despite its mere 26 hp. The sporty 250cc machine is particularly suitable for newcomers or those returning to the sport, always remains very controllable and never overtaxes in any area.

Fun riding experience

Combined ABS

Efficient suspension

Very low overall weight

Optimal looks

Comfortable seating position.

More sportiness would have helped

more power not bad.

KTM 390 Duke 2021

KTM 390 Duke 2021

The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.

Typical Duke ergonomics that are also suitable for taller riders

Modern TFT display with smartphone connectivity

Quickshifter (optional) works perfectly

Adjustable hand levers

Top price-performance ratio for A2 motorbike.

Chassis tuned a little too soft

pressure point of the brakes a little spongy
