Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda NC750S 2014

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.

Kawasaki W800 2011

Kawasaki shows how retro really works. There is endless beauty on the W 800, but it is also a good starting point for scrambler or café racer conversions.

high speeds achievable

relaxed driving experience

convincing appearance.

Laterally installed king shaft corresponds to old technology
