Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia Shiver 750 2012

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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
