Ducati Scrambler Nightshift 2021

Ducati Scrambler Nightshift 2021

In the Scrambler 800 model series, the Nightshift presents itself as a sporty representative for the city and the country road. The engine has enough power and a wonderfully smooth response. The chassis and seating position are comfortable enough to cope with cobblestones, but the saddle is a little too hard. And if you ride too sportily, you will be disillusioned when the braking system demands a lot of power and the standard tyres convey little feeling. However, if you are looking for a cool retro bike with commuter potential and a lot of character, you should definitely consider the new Nightshift!

Smooth engine

comfortable chassis

cornering ABS

strong character bike

Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2024

Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2024

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a successful bike in a competitive price segment. The latest addition from the green brand offers easy handling and riding pleasure at an attractive price. Beginners, returning riders and smart bikers will all enjoy this urban cruiser. In my opinion, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 could achieve cult status.

Handling, despite low ground clearance, an attack the twisties

Engine, good torque

Weight, 167 kg

Gearbox, excellent shifting

Seating position, comfortably neutral Driving licence class A2

Rear-view mirror, stylish but hardly any visibility to the rear tyres, IRC spongy, gives hardly any feedback
