Pros and Cons in comparison

Malaguti Drakon 125 ABS 2023

The Malaguti Drakon 125 is a contemporary A1 naked bike with agile handling, good equipment, accessible engine and modern design. The workmanship is now close to that of the big manufacturers, but it still has a few minor flaws here and there. Considering the extremely attractive price, however, you can forgive the bike's minor flaws. When it comes down to it, there is not much missing from the big players.

Pleasant, upright seating position

Lively, accessible engine

Well-balanced chassis

Passable brakes

TFT display rare in the A1 class

Good value for money

Processing not very precise in some places

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2017

The Ninja 650 firmly stamps its predecessor (Er-6f). The engine has mastered the Euro 4 hurdle well and serves up a very usable 68 hp, the chassis is simply great for this class, and the weight reduction of 18(!) kilos compared to the ER-6f justifies reverent nods.

Transparent chassis for sport

playful and good-natured handling, excellent brakes, sharp looks a la ZX-10R

resilient engine.

Little sound from the series pot

engine shows slight vibrations
