Kawasaki Z1000 2020

Kawasaki Z1000 2020

The Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) is a statement against the electronic trend of its time - and that is exactly what makes it special today. Its characterful four-cylinder engine, mechanical directness and uncompromising focus on the essentials strike a chord in a time when many bikes have become rolling computers. Yes, it does without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and perfect wind protection. But it offers an authentic naked bike riding experience, paired with Japanese reliability and reasonable maintenance costs. The Z1000 is not a bike for data sheet junkies or electronics fans - it is a bike for people who still want to make their own decisions when rider. An honest bike with character that continues to inspire even after years and more than fulfils its role as an emotional alternative to the digital modern age.

Yamaha Tenere 700 2022

Yamaha Tenere 700 2022

The Tenere 700 is still unrivalled in 2022. It offers the best compromise between price, off-road capability and ride comfort on the road. It rides into the heart, is super fun and is a motorbike for a wide range of uses. Die-hard fans will forgive the lack of electronic features. The somewhat lax brakes and the annoying fuel cap probably won't.

Very robust and reliable appearance

sporty and sleek look

playful handling

Amazingly sporty and fun engine

Good workmanship

Good chassis with a practical adjustment range

Comparatively low weight

Very tough

fuel filler cap impractical

very short equipment list in terms of electronics.
