BMW R nineT 2017

BMW R nineT 2017

What more can be said about the BMW R nineT? Since its release in 2014, it has been a real perennial favourite in the customising scene and also at BMW itself. Its ingredients, however, are of very high quality and explain why the result is so coherent. The boxer engine, full of character, is a real joy every time you pull the throttle and, thanks to the wonderful sound, it never gets boring in the long run. Despite the relatively high weight, the BMW is pleasant to ride thanks to the high-quality chassis and finds a balanced mixture between cruiser and sporty naked bike. The look is of course a matter of taste, but the sales figures suggest that BMW must have done something right. And even if you don't like the standard look, accessories are a dime a dozen.

Honda CBR650R 2023

The 2021 update of the Honda CBR650R solves the biggest problem of the previous year's model: the overly comfortable chassis. The new Showa fork gives the sports bike a much sportier response, which is immediately noticeable on winding country roads. However, one should not expect a thoroughbred super sports bike, but a road sports bike suitable for everyday use, on which one can experience a lot of pleasure in the saddle both on the way to work and on a weekend ride.
