Kawasaki Z650 2024

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.

KTM 890 SMT 2024

KTM 890 SMT 2024

The KTM 890 SMT is a bike that oscillates between two worlds - too sporty for touring riders, too heavy for real supermoto fans. But this niche is precisely where its appeal lies: if you are looking for an agile, touring bike with supermoto genes, the 890 SMT is a real fun machine that boldly defies the mainstream. Despite minor weaknesses in terms of comfort and image, it is an insider tip for individualists - and is currently particularly attractive thanks to discounts.

Unique concept: Supermoto meets touring

Agile handling: Surprisingly manoeuvrable for its weight

Powerful engine: Powerful 889 cubic centimetre two-cylinder engine

Sporty riding position: Front-wheel orientated, lots of riding pleasure

Solid comfort: Suitable for touring shorter distances

Unclear target group: Neither touring nor pure supermoto

Vibrations: Noticeable from approx. 80 km/h

Moderate wind protection: Windscreen hardly provides any protection
