Yamaha XSR700 2016

If you want an entry-level motorbike that will keep you happy for a long time, but at the same time has a cool retro look, there's really no getting around the Yamaha XSR 700. With the MT-07 as the technical basis, you're buying what is probably the most popular beginner's motorbike at the moment - just in a different guise. The XSR 700's greatest triumph is its unbelievably elastic in-line two-cylinder, which neither overtaxes beginners nor bores experienced motorcyclists. The throttle response is pleasantly direct and the power develops very harmoniously, there will never be an 'oops' moment here. However, the XSR 700 should be seen as a relaxed cruiser rather than a sporty motorbike. The chassis sways very easily when ridden fast and brings uncertainty into the vehicle. Experienced riders will find it easy to cope with, but a beginner may be overwhelmed.
KTM 690 Duke 2014

KTM 690 Duke je tudi več kot desetletje po predstavitvi še vedno fascinanten motocikel z lastnim značajem. Poskus, da bi uporniškega Duka spremenili v bolj množično privlačno kolo, se je izkazal za uspešno strategijo. Zaradi kombinacije izjemnega motorja LC4, neposrednega upravljanja in dobrega razmerja med ceno in kakovostjo je še vedno privlačna izbira za voznike, ki iščejo nekaj posebnega. Čeprav so novejši dvovaljni modeli boljši z vidika gladkega delovanja in udobja, 690 Duke ponuja neposrednost in značaj, ki ju lahko ponudi le velik enovaljnik. Kot rabljeno motorno kolo se je izkazal za presenetljivo stabilnega po vrednosti in vzdržljivega - pod pogojem, da ste pozorni na redno vzdrževanje.
