Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 300 2016

Kawasaki Z 300 2016

The cool design of the Kawasaki Z300, which is extremely similar to that of its big sister Z800, makes it a very grown-up-looking motorbike. The stable braking system and the easy-to-read cockpit with an analogue rev counter and all the necessary features fit in very well with this image. Thanks to the 170 kg ready-to-ride weight, the bike is extremely easy to handle and playful. The engine only reveals its potential in the upper rev range, but revs up willingly and makes you want to ride in a sporty manner. Only the comfort-oriented chassis cannot quite cope with radically sporty demands - but this is quite legitimate and understandable for an entry-level motorbike.

Honda CB650R 2021

Honda CB650R 2021

13 out of a possible 24 points mean 5th place in the large mid-range naked bike comparison test 2021. The Honda puts up a good fight against the technically more advanced competition and can leave a motorbike behind despite its position as an outsider. Pleasing looks, accessible riding and the low price make the shortcomings that were brought to light in the direct comparison fade into the background.

absolutely suitable for beginners

good price-performance ratio

low consumption

Too little space for tall riders

mediocre equipment

relatively chubby

little punch from the rev range
