Kawasaki Z650 2024

Kawasaki Z650 2024

The Kawasaki Z 650 is probably the most docile motorbike in the naked bike segment. And that is to be understood in an absolutely positive way - as long as you are not particularly tall and heavy. It is slim, light, agile and accessible. All the controls, but also the engine, do not overwhelm. If you are looking for spectacular performance, you should go for the Z 900, but if you are looking for a nimble and easy-to-ride motorbike, you will be satisfied.

Very accessible handling

Very compact and easy to manoeuvre

Motorcycle appears light and compact

Gives small riders a lot of confidence

Adjustable levers

Not enough space on the bike for tall riders

Kawasaki Versys 650 2024

Kawasaki Versys 650 2024

Relaxed touring with plenty of comfort and enough potential for cornering fun - the Versys 650 is and remains a good choice among mid-range sport tourers. Although you will reach the top of the pass faster on the competition, you will enjoy getting back on the Kawa every time, which welcomes the rider with a high level of comfort and extensive equipment. If you enjoy touring and can get by with a little less power, the Versys 650 is a good choice!
