Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Versys 650 2009

The brakes, chassis and engine fit the concept very well and do not show any weakness. The Versys' engine is just as lively as the vehicle itself and revs up most snappily. Especially important: Is by far the most willing wheelie machine in the field.

Designed for a broad target group

easy handling

good chassis

positive riding experience.

Power could be a little higher.

Honda CB 600 F Hornet 2009

The 600 Hornet is already a classic in this segment. The first Hornet was inexpensive and at heart it was a somewhat slimmed-down CBR. Just under 100 hp and the cool design were enough to be able to show off everywhere, even with little money.

Huge second-hand market

great engine tuning

qualitative

visually sophisticated

strong brakes

ABS.

Limited lean angle clearance

chassis needs improvement

cheap details.
