Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Versys 1000 S 2021

The supposedly less well-equipped Versys 1000 S merely dispenses with the electronically adjustable chassis of the SE - and thus offers almost the same performance as the top model. This means that the S also has all the comfort features on board that make a long journey not only bearable, but really enjoyable. You don't necessarily feel the few kilos less than the SE, but the S is also an ideal companion on long tours when comfort and uncomplicated handling are paramount.

Honda CBF 1000 2010

As far as fun is concerned, the wicked look and slim shape of the CBF1000F at least already suggest that it won't fall by the wayside. A motorbike that can do so much that it may seem too ordinary to many. But a motorbike will never be that. That's what it boils down to: spurned at the pub, bought at the dealer.
