CFMOTO 800 NK Advanced 2023

CFMOTO 800 NK Advanced 2023

Here comes a real firecracker from China on the market! The 800 NK Advanced shines with its over-complete equipment; this bike has features that you won't find anywhere else. Wireless Carplay and Ambiance Light, to name just two highlights, border on decadence. The engine is a joy dispenser with charisma, the chassis is well-balanced and the brakes are correctly dimensioned. Smaller tuning points still need to be tinkered with and traction control will presumably be included in the next model year. However, the package is more than tempting even in the current configuration, considering the low entry price.

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2024

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2024

No matter which platform Kawasaki puts the 650 cubic two-cylinder in, the result is always a great motorbike! Even though the engine is unusually rev-happy for a cruiser, it results in a cruiser that actually qualifies as a sports cruiser when paired with the sporty chassis set-up. The only brake is the limited lean angle clearance, but this will not deter lovers of hearty footrest grinding. With such a good bike, we hope that Kawasaki will follow suit - after all, the Vulcan S has been with us almost unchanged since 2015.
