CFMOTO 700CL-X 2022

As a motorbike from a lesser-known manufacturer, the CFMOTO 700CL-X will probably remain an insider's tip. However, those who dare to take it up will find the CL-X a chic, well-made and agile naked bike with top equipment at a competitive price. The fully adjustable chassis in particular is unique in the class and could make the right niche of demanding riders happy.

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is still a true highlight among light, handy motorbikes because of its unrivalled characteristics. Its appearance is unique and the technology under the pretty design is also impressive. The combination of 75 hp from the well-known single-cylinder, paired with a superbly shifting quickshifter, creates an insane amount of joy on the road. However, the engine needs revs and the seating position will not please everyone. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is therefore a motorbike that you have to get completely involved with. If you can do that, a lot of fun is guaranteed.
