Kawasaki Ninja 650 2020

Save the sport tourer! With the Ninja 650, Kawasaki has created an exemplary representative of this class and (hopefully) solved the problem of the new generation. The stable chassis and the decent two-cylinder will delight beginners and advanced riders alike, even at a brisker pace. The front brake is a little too well intentioned, lacking a transparent pressure point despite basically good braking performance. Another plus is the TFT display, which we don't find in the competition at the moment, as well as the grown-up look, which is strongly oriented towards the larger Ninja models.

Friends of real supersports bikes listen up, because the Yamaha YZF-R125 could be just the right bike for you in the A1 class. The Yamaha focuses entirely on a sporty appearance, which is not only evident in the R6-like look, but can also be felt in the seating position. The load on the wrists is super-sporty and the knee angle is sharp - perhaps too sharp for tall riders. In return, the YZF-R125 rewards not only with a cool appearance, but also with a very potent engine and a confidence-inspiring chassis that invites high cornering speeds.
