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.
Ducati Monster 797 2017

The Ducati Monster 797 is a great entry into the Monster family. Great V2 sound and great looks make it a fully-fledged Ducati Monster family member. The seating position is sporty, which makes chasing times on the home track a real pleasure. In everyday use, however, you have to bite the bullet when it comes to the suspension. The set-up is hard as a board, and bumps are passed on directly to the driver. Very exhausting in the long run.
