Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda Forza 750 2021

The most powerful scooter currently available is not only fun in the city, but also for sporty riding on a country road tour. The Honda Forza 750 is agile, stable, suitable for everyday use, comfortable and offers good wind and weather protection. Compared to other maxi-scooters, it has less storage space under the seat, but a full-face helmet will always fit inside. The scooter can be optionally upgraded with a top case, heated grips, a top case backrest for the pillion passenger and much more.

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2018

No matter which platform Kawasaki puts the 650 cubic two-cylinder in, the result is always a great motorbike! Even though the engine is unusually rev-happy for a cruiser, it results in a cruiser that actually qualifies as a sports cruiser when paired with the sporty chassis set-up. The only brake is the limited lean angle clearance, but this will not deter lovers of hearty footrest grinding. With such a good bike, we hope that Kawasaki will follow suit - after all, the Vulcan S has been with us almost unchanged since 2015.
