Kawasaki Versys 1000 S 2021

The supposedly less well-equipped Versys 1000 S merely dispenses with the electronically adjustable chassis of the SE - and thus offers almost the same performance as the top model. This means that the S also has all the comfort features on board that make a long journey not only bearable, but really enjoyable. You don't necessarily feel the few kilos less than the SE, but the S is also an ideal companion on long tours when comfort and uncomplicated handling are paramount.

Indian Scout Bobber Twenty 2021

Indian Scout Bobber Twenty 2021

Looks fierce, but in reality is completely tame. The Scout Bobber Twenty is probably the most visually aggressive Indian Scout, but retains all its everyday virtues. With its high handlebars, it gives a lot of confidence and a feeling of control. Only the poor splash protection due to the (admittedly very cool) short mudguards is a nuisance when riding in bad weather.
