Suzuki GSX-R 125 2021

Maybe not in comparison with its big sisters, but in this class the GSX-R125 still passes for a real super sports bike. With a power output of 15 hp and a 6-speed gearbox, the Gixxer accelerates briskly towards the horizon, up to 125 km/h, thanks to its low weight of 134 kg. The lowest weight in the class also has a positive effect on the riding dynamics; the GSX-R125 can be thrown playfully from bend to bend. Only when the going gets really fast do you wish you had more feeling for the front wheel and better brakes.
Yamaha YZF-R3 2019

With the new YZF-R3, Yamaha has taken the very good basis of the first generation and successfully developed it further. It now appears not only visually more mature, but also noticeably more competent at high speeds. When you ride the R3 at the limit, you quickly feel why Yamaha has set up its own Cup on it, as even the standard model gives a safe feeling at high speed. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement, especially in everyday use, when the rough response at low revs and the poor feedback from the brake lever lead to some moments of frustration during the ride.
