The Aprilia RS 457 presents itself as an impressive bike in the A2 category, with its harmonious combination of powerful engine, sporty riding dynamics and appealing design. The engine delivers dynamic power and the suspension offers a sporty and precise riding experience. The ergonomics and sound also contribute to a positive overall impression. However, there are weaknesses in the brakes, particularly in terms of modulation and the behaviour of the ABS system at the limit.

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.
