Honda CBR 300 R 2015
Small supersport bikes, especially those under the 500 cubic metre limit, are unfortunately still ridiculed. But when it comes to fun and sporty riding, it's not necessarily the power that counts. The overall set-up has to be right, as do the individual components, which is the case with the CBR 300 R. The design looks grown-up, slim and elegant. The design looks mature, slim and sharp, the weight is a dream value in the supersport sector and the brakes are as sensitive as they are biting. If you give the CBR 300 R a good spin and let it run, many people will stop laughing.
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.
