Honda CB1000 Hornet SP 2025

The Honda CB1000 Hornet SP is more than just a new bike - it's a statement. Honda proves that they can still do it. They have created a bike that impresses in every respect: engine, suspension, brakes, price-performance ratio. You sit on it and immediately know how to ride this thing. There are no puzzles, no nasty surprises. Just pure, honest performance at a price that makes the competition look old. This isn't just a good bike - it's a game changer. Honda is back, and how they are back.

Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki did well to rethink and rebuild the Z1000 from the ground up. It was given a dark soul whose roots lie in the (un)good old days, but it seems more genuine and cohesive thanks to its independent development. Kawa did justice to itself and the wishes of its customers to a high degree. All in all, a courageous product for courageous riders.

Relatively much power

powerful appearance

much comfort

optimal chassis

acceptable price.

Uncontrollable instrument unit

partial manual force present.
