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.
Suzuki DR-Z4SM 2025
The eye-catching graphics from Suzuki Austria suit this bike well. For me, however, the joy of life doesn’t come from the graphics, but from the ride itself. The DR-Z4SM succeeds in combining a familiar, solid feel with genuine playfulness. On the one hand, it offers a predictable riding experience; on the other, it has enough supermoto character to ensure the fun doesn’t stop straight away, even as your experience grows. Those looking primarily for maximum power will continue to look towards more powerful machines. I’d take this Suzuki for a test ride because of its seamless interplay of features: precise handling, smooth gear changes and an engine that remains easy to read whether you’re opening or closing the throttle. My brief test doesn’t provide a long-term assessment, but it does offer a clear personal verdict. I felt comfortable in the saddle and would have liked to have carried on riding.
