Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

Absolutely suitable for everyday use

interesting concept

very low consumption.

Performance not too high.

Honda CB650F 2018

In its latest stage of development, the 2017 Honda CB 650 F is exactly the four-cylinder naked bike we wanted from Honda. Crisp engine tuning and a shorter gear ratio ensure a quick sprint to 100 km/h, including a screaming four-cylinder sound. The chassis tuning is also very sporty, which makes you feel comfortable on the Honda right away. With LED lighting technology, Honda proves that the CB 650 F is in step with the times, only the display deserves a makeover.

Sufficient torque even at low revs

sporty chassis

LED lighting technology

grown-up look

Display is difficult to read
