Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono 2024

With the Hypermotard 698 Mono, Ducati has produced an incredibly good debut model! The bike takes all the qualities you look for in a road-legal supermoto and raises them to a highly modern and mature level. You won't find a comparable single-cylinder engine these days, while the electronics package rounds off the concept. Yet it is pure, unreasonable and playful - like a real hooligan bike.

Powerful and modern single cylinder

marvellous sound as standard

comprehensive electronics package

fully adjustable, finely responsive suspension

top handling

low weight

brakes with great modulation

Quickshifter at extra cost

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.

powerful two-cylinder engine

aggressive intake noise

compact dimensions

low seat height

stable chassis

TFT display with connectivity

grown-up look

Front brake pressure point

probably uncomfortable for tall riders

Rideology Appn och not 100% sophisticated.
