Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z650 2018

The Kawasaki Z 650 is the tip of the middle class for small male and female riders. On its compact dimensions, you probably won't feel comfortable as a giant. Heart-warming feelings, however, come from the engine, which delights with a very smooth pull. On the chassis side, a Kawasaki-typical tight set-up was chosen, which finds a great compromise in everyday use. The negative display is very easy to read and is reminiscent of its predecessor, the ER-6n - very nice!

a little too small for tall people

Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2023

The Triumph Street Triple 765 RS is a great motorbike, a very sporty naked bike, which can inspire above all sporty, precise motorcyclists. Extremely well-balanced, finely tuned and with strong feedback, the lightweight Englishwoman presents herself. A motorbike where the buyer can do absolutely nothing wrong. No wonder it is almost sold out!
