Kawasaki Vulcan S 2017

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2017

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.

Fantic Caballero 700 2023

Fantic Caballero 700 2023

The Fantic Caballero 700 is a bit of a cheat - but a really clever one! The engine of this smart Italian comes from Japan, where it is known as the CP2 and powers successful models such as the MT-07 and Tenere 700. Accordingly, the Fantic is agile and lively, weighing 188 kilos ready to ride. Add to that pleasantly easy handling and a comfortable riding position paired with a ravishingly authentic look - and you have a really good scrambler. Since the tyres basically work well and only the larger 19-inch front wheel prevents even more agile handling, sticking to the scrambler style is also perfectly fine here.
