Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

Hardly anyone needs more bike than the CB750 Hornet, priced at just 8890 euros (in Austria) or 8780 euros (in Germany), for universal all-round use between city transport, day trip substitute and after-work fun rocket. Thanks to its "easy going" character, a broad grin under the helmet is virtually unavoidable on the Hornet. Like a real hornet in the wild, the Honda Hornet turns out to be surprisingly sociable and useful in everyday life. However, if it is pushed into a corner, it knows how to use its sting skilfully in close combat.

Powerful, high-torque engine good brakes

comfortable seating position

agile handling

well-balanced chassis

comprehensive electronics

favourable, optional quickshifter

excellent price

Steel box swingarm not particularly sexy

Ducati Monster 2026

Ducati Monster 2026

With its exceptionally well-balanced engine, Ducati has produced a superb engine for the fifth generation of the Monster. The very low weight of both the engine and the bike contributes to its ‘lightness of being’ and, combined with the excellent, easy-to-operate clutch, results in a straightforward riding experience. With its low seat height and good ergonomics, the Monster is also very well suited to beginners, whilst its smooth power delivery ensures plenty of riding pleasure for experienced riders too. With its fuel tank design and lines inspired by the original Monster, die-hard Monsteristi are sure to be filled with wistful memories of 1992, when Ducati launched the first ‘Monster’. With its high-torque engine, Ducati delivers not only the looks but also the performance you’d expect from a modern Monster featuring cutting-edge technology. So, for 2026, we can confidently adopt Jar Jar Binks’ slogan from *Star Wars*, who, startled by eerie creatures, briefly declared: “We’ve got monsters again!”
