Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR650R 2020

The 2021 update of the Honda CBR650R solves the biggest problem of the previous year's model: the overly comfortable chassis. The new Showa fork gives the sports bike a much sportier response, which is immediately noticeable on winding country roads. However, one should not expect a thoroughbred super sports bike, but a road sports bike suitable for everyday use, on which one can experience a lot of pleasure in the saddle both on the way to work and on a weekend ride.

Resilient four-cylinder

comfortable seating position

improved chassis for 2021

cool look

easy to operate.

Engine sluggish below 8,000 revolutions

LC display now looks old-fashioned

Kawasaki Ninja H2 2016

The Ninja H2 represents a milestone in motorbike history. It is not only packed with electronic innovations, but also offers completely new technologies in terms of engine construction and mechanics. This high-tech research object of a Japanese technology company is actually for sale and can also be ridden. Basically, it rides like a normal motorbike, only with considerably more power. At first, the engine response is a challenge, but speed freaks will find a way to ride and enjoy this fascinating motorbike.

Outstanding build quality

fascinating engine with mechanical turbocharger

pull, acceleration and speed on a completely new level

narrow seat ensures safe standing - even for smaller riders

great stability

motorbike inspires a lot of confidence despite high performance

strong brakes

high-quality details

Response behaviour in the transition from pushing mode to acceleration phase not at the level of "normal" motorbikes

understeer in fast bends

from body height 185 cm it could be difficult to integrate the feet into the overall aerodynamic concept - test seat!
