Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2012

At the current price level of the 1000cc, you can't call any motorbike a bargain, but the Honda is still at the lower end of the price scale. This should not be forgotten when making comparisons with the Panigale or the Aprilia RSV4 Factory.

Simple chassis

pleasant engine

relatively comfortable ride

ABS

seating position unattractive for taller riders.

Unusual set-up problems - balance and handlebar precision.

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.

accessible two-cylinder

compact dimensions

low seat height

stable chassis

TFT display with connectivity

grown-up look

Probably uncomfortable for tall riders

adrenaline level in the saddle lower than with the competition
