Kawasaki Vulcan S 2022

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.
Harley-Davidson Street Glide FLHX 2024

The new Harley-Davidson Street Glide is damn close to the CVO models, which, as we all know, always mark the highest evolutionary stage of what is currently possible. The powerful 117cc engine actually comes from last year's CVOs and is very controllable despite its enormous torque. When it comes to driver assistance systems and electronic features, the Americans even play a pioneering role with the huge touch display. The Street Glide could only have been given a little more fine-tuning when it comes to the chassis, but the handling is basically fine despite the high weight. And comfort, which is far more important on a Grand American Tourer, is definitely not neglected.
