Pros and Cons in comparison

CFMOTO 450SR S 2024

The CFMOTO 450SR S impresses with a powerful 450cc twin-cylinder in-line engine, a well-tuned gear ratio and a sporty yet comfortable riding position. The bike offers stable handling, precise riding geometry and good tyre performance, which makes the riding experience pleasant. However, the rough throttle response, immature traction control and ABS as well as ergonomic weaknesses detract from the riding comfort.

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2018

The Ninja 650 firmly stamps its predecessor (Er-6f). The engine has mastered the Euro 4 hurdle well and serves up a very usable 68 hp, the chassis is simply great for this class, and the weight reduction of 18(!) kilos compared to the ER-6f justifies reverent nods.
