Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R3 2015

Yamaha R3 2015

Yamaha sees its R3 more in line with the equally versatile Kawasaki Ninja 300, but the price is even higher than that of the KTM390. This makes the YZF-R3 a premium product, which is a bold decision in this class. But the overall package offers corresponding value: sporty engine, stable chassis, strong brakes, sensational top speed. Direct comparison will show who really has the edge. In any case, the R3 is a hot contender for the number 1 spot.

Yamaha YZF-R125 2020

Yamaha YZF-R125 2020

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....

excellent engine

cool looks

sporty chassis

very potent on the racetrack

very good supersport package

unfortunately nothing
