Kawasaki Z 400 2023

Kawasaki Z 400 2023

A cool and sensible entry into the A2 class. The Kawasaki Z400 scores points all along the line with its instinctive handling and the in-line two-cylinder, which convinces with good response and sufficient power. You can't go wrong with this naked bike and you can overlook the fact that the levers are not adjustable - after all, costs have to be saved somewhere.

Benelli 502 C 2019

Benelli 502 C 2019

The Benelli 502 C is definitely an exciting phenomenon in the A2 cruiser class. With a very familiar look and a pleasant two-cylinder, it is an exciting alternative to the top dogs in this class. Thanks to the large fuel tank, it could actually be a good long-distance motorbike if the suspension set-up were not chosen too harshly. Moreover, it is impossible to take a passenger with a clear conscience, as he or she will be clinging for dear life to the small seat for the entire ride. However, if you only plan rides alone and want to be as conspicuous as possible, the Benelli 502 C is perfect. Plenty of motorbike for A2 riders!

pleasant engine
