Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2021

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2021

The engine of the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory gains in precision due to the change to Euro5 conformity, but remains unchanged in essence - a potent fellow that wants to be revved! The handling also remains sporty and demanding, while the others can take it easy. The electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension works excellently and the electronics package is state-of-the-art. In terms of looks, the new Tuono V4 1100 Factory is now based on the small Tuono 660, especially the front with the raised LED daytime running lights looks gorgeous. All in all, a great evolution of an already good motorbike.

Kawasaki Z H2 SE 2021

Kawasaki Z H2 SE 2021

What a naked bike! The Kawasaki Z H2 SE has one thing that is absolutely addictive: a supercharged power unit that works like a steam catapult! The 200 hp from exactly one litre of displacement actually seem to unite from idle and tug together on the chain right up to the limiter. Nor can the Z H2 SE be accused of lacking stability; the electronically adjustable chassis does a good job and above all provides sufficient comfort. At almost 240 kilos ready to ride, the Kawa is of course no lightweight and needs to be pushed into the bends, but you can't call it unwieldy either. A slightly wider handlebar would help. The appearance is clearly a matter of taste, but the protruding front offers comparatively good wind protection.

incredibly powerful engine

the electronic chassis offers comfort

independent look with good wind protection for a naked bike

good braking system

High weight

handlebars a little too narrow
