Honda CMX500 Rebel 2017

We all strive for diversity and the Honda Rebel brings just that diversity to the A2 licence class. It is a wonderful addition to the Honda model range and can convince not only beginners. The engine and chassis tuning make it a very relaxed cruiser that makes gliding along a pleasure. The look is purely pragmatic, practically shining with minimalism. A harmonious overall package for affordable motorbike relaxation.

Kawasaki Z900 2017

An incredibly well-designed motorbike. A lot of test work and attention to detail went into it. It has exactly the right power, exactly the right chassis and exactly the right look. An all-round successful naked bike that will make you happy for a long time. If you like, you can ride it simply and faithfully, but if you want, you can also ride it really fast and it wheels like hell. Great!

Ingenious nakedbike chassis

superb looks

engine responds super fine, revs up willingly and has a perfectly dimensioned torque

optimum intersection of performance, price and practical use

Knee angle very narrow for tall people (order another seat!)
