Ducati Diavel 1200 2012

The Ducati Diavel 1200 is a successful prestige object that really leaves no one cold. In the Cromo version, this dignified, elitist flair that defines a Diavel comes across particularly well, without becoming obtrusive or even embarrassing.

Kawasaki Z900 2021

Kawasaki Z900 2021

In terms of price-performance, the Kawasaki Z900 is hard to beat at the moment. With the perfectly tuned engine, the high-quality chassis components and the electronics added for 2020, this naked bike offers everything that sporty riders will be looking for. There is really nothing to complain about, except for the lack of a quickshifter option.
