Honda CB650F 2018

Honda CB650F 2018

In its latest stage of development, the 2017 Honda CB 650 F is exactly the four-cylinder naked bike we wanted from Honda. Crisp engine tuning and a shorter gear ratio ensure a quick sprint to 100 km/h, including a screaming four-cylinder sound. The chassis tuning is also very sporty, which makes you feel comfortable on the Honda right away. With LED lighting technology, Honda proves that the CB 650 F is in step with the times, only the display deserves a makeover.

Sufficient torque even at low revs

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2020

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2020

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is a perfectly sized supersport motorbike. With its 130 hp, sporty but controlled riding is possible. The shorter gearing and the 36cc extra displacement ensure that you can be a bit lazier on the road. A worthy flag-waver for the 600cc supersport segment.

Great engine with a great mix of revving and torque

supersport pleasure with lively handling - but still no ascetic feeling in the saddle

well responsive fork and decent, adjustable chassis.

Some details could do with more finesse - number plate holder and indicators!

The overall silhouette is not sporty enough. The sporty bike could do with more aggressiveness.
