Kawasaki Z650 2021

Kawasaki Z650 2021

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.

Honda CBR500R 2021

Honda CBR500R 2021

True supersport looks for everyday use. Despite its aggressive and credible styling, the CBR500R's everyday package is a delight. Low fuel consumption and a comfortable riding position make it a feel-good companion that has been significantly upgraded for 2022. The chassis and brakes now match the CBR's aspirations, and with the right accessories it shows its all-round qualities. Only the shock absorber leaves room for improvement when the going gets sporty.
