Yamaha YZF-R125 2021

The Yamaha YZF-R125 in the 2019 version makes journalists' lives difficult. You search and search for a fault, but can't find one - simply frustrating! Because the 15 hp single-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVA) performs excellently and is undoubtedly one of the best power units in the 125cc class. The handling is convincing in everyday life as well as on the racetrack, even if the chassis shows its sporty side on bumps. But we are on a super sports bike, so that is not a serious point of criticism. Maybe I need to ride the R125 for a few weeks to find its Achilles heel after all....
Triumph Daytona 660 2024

The Triumph Daytona 660 presents itself as a versatile sports motorbike that impresses both on the road and when touring at length. With its characteristic three-cylinder engine, it offers impressive power and a wide range of revs to suit both beginners and experienced riders. The comfortable seating position and well-tuned suspension ensure a pleasant riding experience, while high-quality controls and a light clutch make handling easy. Despite points of criticism, such as the lack of a standard quickshifter and slight vibrations, the Daytona 660 offers a balanced overall package that successfully combines sportiness and comfort.
