GASGAS SM 700 2023

The powerful single cylinder still brings a grin to the rider's face. The tighter the radii become, the better the SM 700 works, and the sporty suspension offers performance when ripping a corner rather than comfort on long journeys. The GasGas is a great example of the appeal of focussing on the essentials. A real fun machine, it's great that something like this is still being built.

Kawasaki Z650 2018

The Kawasaki Z 650 is the tip of the middle class for small male and female riders. On its compact dimensions, you probably won't feel comfortable as a giant. Heart-warming feelings, however, come from the engine, which delights with a very smooth pull. On the chassis side, a Kawasaki-typical tight set-up was chosen, which finds a great compromise in everyday use. The negative display is very easy to read and is reminiscent of its predecessor, the ER-6n - very nice!

a little too small for tall people
