Moto Guzzi V7 II Special 2015

Moto Guzzi V7 II Special 2015

The innovations on the V7 II (engine tilt, gearbox, ABS, ASR and footrest position) are all successful and improve the machine from a technical point of view. Fortunately, nothing has been changed visually. Because the V7 II looks simply murderously smart. What has remained is the 48 hp. It would really look good with 70.

Really smart and charismatic

good-natured, sensational engine

uncomplicated but independent handling

very good ABS

it's a pity that Moto Guzzi didn't put in 70 or even 80 hp

Kawasaki Versys 650 2016

Kawasaki Versys 650 2016

When it was first introduced, the Versys 650 was a refreshing, modern concept that combined lots of fun with a lively in-line two-cylinder engine, high everyday utility and a wide range of uses. In the meantime, it has a few years under its belt and, after the visual update, which is very successful, it also deserves a technical overhaul. While the tank should not shrink, a lower seat height would be desirable.

Adjustable brake and clutch levers

wide range of use

21 litre tank

sporty look

Narrow handlebars

somewhat sluggish in bends

high seat
