Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2024

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a successful bike in a competitive price segment. The latest addition from the green brand offers easy handling and riding pleasure at an attractive price. Beginners, returning riders and smart bikers will all enjoy this urban cruiser. In my opinion, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 could achieve cult status.

Handling, despite low ground clearance, an attack the twisties

Engine, good torque

Weight, 167 kg

Gearbox, excellent shifting

Seating position, comfortably neutral Driving licence class A2

Rear-view mirror, stylish but hardly any visibility to the rear tyres, IRC spongy, gives hardly any feedback

KTM 390 Adventure 2021

The equipment and dimensions of the 390 Adventure show that KTM has by no means simply put a small, slimmed-down touring enduro on its wheels, but rather a (fully) worthy A2 licence-compatible motorbike that will give (re-)beginners just as much pleasure as those who are looking for an everyday bike and can do without performance in abundance. The sporty KTM takes you everywhere and is extremely fun to ride on curvy terrain thanks to its agility.
