Kawasaki Z650 2022

Kawasaki Z650 2022

Even in 2021, the Kawasaki Z 650 stands for easy riding with great looks and good equipment. Both seat height and engine are very accessible and will give both experienced riders and newcomers a lot of pleasure. If you are looking for an honest naked bike without any big surprises, this is the bike for you. Due to its compact dimensions, however, you should try it out before buying and perhaps go for the raised seat.

low seat height

Aprilia Tuono 457 2025

Aprilia Tuono 457 2025

The Tuono 457 closes the gap between the 125cc and 660cc Tuono and really impressed in all respects during the ride test. A lively, revvy and elastic engine, stable suspension, good brakes, sport-orientated geometry and a blipper of the very finest quality. The competition will have it anything but easy.

Lively and elastic two-cylinder

sport-orientated chassis with good suspension

top-of-the-range blipper in accessories

No premium tyres as original equipment

vibrations from 9,000 rpm upwards
