Kawasaki ER-6n 2016

The engine is hearty and a lot of fun, plus the ER shines with a Japanese meticulous finish and a fighting price.

Solid handling

high quality level

weak brake

Honda CB650R 2021

13 out of a possible 24 points mean 5th place in the large mid-range naked bike comparison test 2021. The Honda puts up a good fight against the technically more advanced competition and can leave a motorbike behind despite its position as an outsider. Pleasing looks, accessible riding and the low price make the shortcomings that were brought to light in the direct comparison fade into the background.
