Pros and Cons in comparison

CFMOTO 700CL-X 2023

CFMOTO shows once again that you can't go wrong with very good workmanship, accessible rideability and good to very good equipment. Add to this the attractive price and the powerful sound - the established scrambler competition will have to ask themselves why their slush-road hybrids sometimes cost considerably more.

super sound

very good workmanship

cool looks

Kawasaki Z650 2024

The Kawasaki Z 650 is probably the most docile motorbike in the naked bike segment. And that is to be understood in an absolutely positive way - as long as you are not particularly tall and heavy. It is slim, light, agile and accessible. All the controls, but also the engine, do not overwhelm. If you are looking for spectacular performance, you should go for the Z 900, but if you are looking for a nimble and easy-to-ride motorbike, you will be satisfied.

Very accessible handling

Very compact and easy to manoeuvre

Motorcycle appears light and compact

Gives small riders a lot of confidence

Adjustable levers

Not enough space on the bike for tall riders

bike looks a class smaller than 650cc overall

engine looks a bit tame

very defensive seating position

handlebars too narrow and cranked too much for a naked bike.
