Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.

Full torque

good sound

large tank

relaxed seating position

somewhat old-fashioned look

narrow handlebars

sluggish in bends

Honda CB650F 2014

Honda CB650F 2014

The look is successful, the brakes surprisingly powerful, the chassis an impeccable compromise and the engine a smooth and confident comrade. For this coherent and high-quality combination, the introductory price of just under 8,000 euros is acceptable.

Excellent braking manoeuvres possible

successful, sporty appearance

upright, comfortable seating position.
