Kawasaki Z650 2020

It's simply marvellous what Kawasaki has put together in a complete package with the new Z650. The technical components may not knock your socks off individually, but in combination they make for a pleasantly neutral motorbike that everyone will enjoy. No bitchy idiosyncrasies - simply a naked bike that works really well on winding country roads. Of course, the TFT display, which we don't find in the competition at the moment, is a plus, as is the grown-up look, which is strongly oriented towards the larger Z models. Only the pressure point of the front brake could have been more clearly defined - but you can't have everything in this price range.

The Aprilia Shiver 900 clearly has its own peculiarities when it comes to operating the display and the riding modes - but here we'll let the Italian diva bonus pass. Because while riding, the mid-range naked bike is a real poem and lets you "waddle easily" from curve to curve. Thanks to high-quality chassis components, it can be directed as if on rails, while the 95 hp V2 transforms petrol into auditory feelings of happiness! The seating position also gives a good feeling and gives the impression that you can lift the Shiver 900 through any radius. So if you can get over the perhaps slightly dusty looks, you'll find the Aprilia a fabulous mid-range naked bike that will turn any country road rush into true soul gold!
