Harley-Davidson Nightster 2023

Harley-Davidson Nightster 2023

Comfort on long rides, a lot of fun on winding roads and easy handling: I felt at home on the new Harley-Davidson Nightster right from the start. It's a bike that can be ridden fast around the bends or cruised in a relaxed way - with an engine that is powerful but not intimidating. On the modern Sportster version, I appreciate the presence of traction control, anti-hopping clutch and different riding modes. The Nightster gives me a real Harley feeling, just a little more unexcited compared to its predecessors. For my California trip, it was exactly the right choice.

easy handling

comfort on long distances

extensive equipment with riding modes, traction control, anti-hopping clutch and more

chic & modern Sportster look.

Relatively small fuel tank

Keyless system only for ignition, not for handlebar lock and fuel tank

Rear suspension not very comfortable on rough road surfaces

Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 2023

Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 2023

The Italians know exactly how to polish an icon - the V7 Stone also has the characteristic, longitudinally mounted V2 engine with the typical diagonally protruding cylinders. And this model in particular should appeal not only to true Guzzi fans, but also to all those who are looking for a balanced, uncomplicated bike. Although the engine has its typical vibrations, it behaves in a good-natured manner, the suspension is more comfortable than sporty and the riding position also fits the cosy character perfectly. The single disc brakes at the front are a good fit and the overall look is direct to the heart. Only the LCD dashboard looks out of place and modern.

Harmonious suspension

high level of everyday comfort

relaxed character

classic V7 feel in its purest form

uncomplicated driving experience

sufficiently powerful engine

charming overall tuning

Front brake decelerates moderately

few electronics

spongy suspension, outdated LC display
