Kawasaki Ninja 650 2023

To judge the Kawasaki Ninja 650 purely on its paper form would be a serious mistake. The two-day test showed once again that performance data carries more weight at the pub table than in the wild. Kawa's sports tourer does exactly what it is supposed to and, thanks to the constant revision and the new features added for 2023, is still an enrichment for the class. Only hobby racers should be warned, as the name Ninja still stirs up a certain expectation that the 650 does not fully meet.

If you like Italian design and the design language of MV Agusta's Brutale series in particular, you will find the Benelli 752 S a particularly stylish partner. The setup of the suspension and braking system is very well done, and the riding position is comfortably upright - in other words, it meets the standard you would expect on a modern mid-range naked bike. The engine's acceleration is also mediocre; more could certainly be achieved by revising the injection electronics. On the other hand, the features of the Benelli 752 S would fit into a higher class, with LED lighting all round, a fat USD fork and even a TFT colour display, it makes quite an impression.

comfortable seating position

well-balanced suspension
