Kawasaki Versys 650 2011

With a full tank of only 211 kg, it is particularly easy to handle in the mountains. All in all, it is at home almost anywhere, an everyday bike with that certain kick. With a new headlight and modernised design, the Versys is back on the attack.

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.
