Kawasaki Z650 2022

Even in 2021, the Kawasaki Z 650 stands for easy riding with great looks and good equipment. Both seat height and engine are very accessible and will give both experienced riders and newcomers a lot of pleasure. If you are looking for an honest naked bike without any big surprises, this is the bike for you. Due to its compact dimensions, however, you should try it out before buying and perhaps go for the raised seat.

So this is it: the first two-cylinder motorbike from the young Brixton brand. And we can only say: Hats off! The Crossfire 500 is a strong statement in the A2 class up to 48 hp that doesn't have to hide from the established competition! A lively engine, cool looks, renowned products in brakes and chassis, as well as good workmanship are a tasty recipe for such a fun bike. If the front brake needed a little less power, the only thing to complain about would be the readability of the LC display. A real enrichment of this performance class! And if this is only the beginning of a hopefully long and successful Brixton history, we can still look forward to great things!
