Honda CBR650R 2020

Honda CBR650R 2020

The 2021 update of the Honda CBR650R solves the biggest problem of the previous year's model: the overly comfortable chassis. The new Showa fork gives the sports bike a much sportier response, which is immediately noticeable on winding country roads. However, one should not expect a thoroughbred super sports bike, but a road sports bike suitable for everyday use, on which one can experience a lot of pleasure in the saddle both on the way to work and on a weekend ride.

Resilient four-cylinder

comfortable seating position

improved chassis for 2021

cool look

easy to operate.

Engine sluggish below 8,000 revolutions

LC display now looks old-fashioned

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2019

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2019

The new Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana is based on the naked GSX-S1000 and is therefore convincing in all its quality and inner values of a typical Japanese machine. Visually, the Katana additionally has what it takes to become a classic; after all, it is the first to pick up the style of the 1980s. The riding position is surprisingly comfortable and the high handlebars allow pleasant control. With its low front fairing, it doesn't become a distinct touring machine, but it certainly passes as a crossover bike that excellently combines retro, naked and touring.

Powerful and confident in-line four-cylinder engine

absolutely independent look

comfortable seating position

easy handling

triple-adjustable traction control

good braking system

few electronic features

relatively high price compared to the basic GSX-S1000
