Honda NC750S 2015

We like to avoid talking about motorbikes as utility vehicles, but the NC 750 S is so useful that it makes that word likeable again. The storage compartment under the dummy tank is still unique and an ingenious feature of this naked bike that shines not with sportiness and action, but with almost perfect function and usability. With the additional riding modes, the DCT now works even better. A motorbike, not for stunt riders, but for city and country riders.

Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2018

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is a true highlight of the 2018 season. Its appearance is unique and the technology under the pretty design is also something to behold. The combination of 75 hp from the well-known single-cylinder, paired with a superbly shifting quickshifter, creates an insane amount of fun on the road. However, the engine needs revs and not everyone will like the riding position. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is therefore a motorbike that you have to get completely involved with. But if you can do that, a lot of fun is guaranteed.
