Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025

The Kawasaki Z900 SE is the naked bike for those who don't want to experiment. It is a fantastic package that you can buy without hesitation and be satisfied with. All in all, it delivers a total work of art that is almost disturbingly perfect in its balance. It does nothing wrong, but it doesn't do anything spectacularly well either. It is the naked bike that simply works - in every situation, for every type of rider, on every road. And perhaps that is exactly what the world needs in an age of over-enthusiastic supersports and electronically supercharged hypernakeds: a bike that simply rides. And it rides damn well.

Balanced overall package

Sensational quickshifter

Excellent ABS control

Very good engine modulation

Stable and neutral riding performance

Öhlins suspension with excellent comfort

Accessible handling for different rider types

Handlebars too narrow

lack of character due to sterile balance

sound could be more charismatic

Honda CB1000 Hornet SP 2025

Honda CB1000 Hornet SP 2025

The CB1000 Hornet SP surprises. It is more sporty, more powerful and more entertaining than you would have expected from a naked Honda. If you're looking for a naked bike that combines power, ergonomics and technology in a harmonious package, you've come to the right place.

Very attractive price

Good handling

Cultivated engine running

powerful, revvvy four-cylinder engine

high-quality suspension with Öhlins and Showa

strong Brembo brakes

pleasant ergonomics

ABS regulates too early on the race track

standard muffler annoying for tall riders

handlebar cranking somewhat conservative

freedom of movement in the saddle somewhat restricted on the race track
