Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2021

Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2021

The Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE is more than equipped for the big journey: The many features pull together, because everything good about the SE is aimed at comfort and safety. Whether it's the semi-active electronic Skyhook suspension from Showa, the KIBS cornering ABS, the Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KMCF), the cornering lights or the easy-to-read TFT colour display, the electronics leave nothing to be desired. Coupled with the comfortable seating position and the high, adjustable windshield, long stages are a pleasure. The engine is certainly not the most powerful, the weight certainly not the lowest, but overall the Versys 1000 SE is an optimal touring motorbike.

Aprilia SX 125 Supermoto 2022

Aprilia's SX 125 is a very sporty supermoto that does justice to Aprilia's long 125cc history. Its 15 hp single-cylinder inspires with its balanced character with high suitability for everyday use, but at the same time provides a lot of fun under the helmet. The biggest advantage it has over the competition is its ABS system, which only acts on the front wheel and was installed instead of a CBS system. This makes it possible to conjure up beautiful drifts on the asphalt, as befits a true supermoto.
