Kawasaki Z 300 2016

The cool design of the Kawasaki Z300, which is extremely similar to that of its big sister Z800, makes it a very grown-up-looking motorbike. The stable braking system and the easy-to-read cockpit with an analogue rev counter and all the necessary features fit in very well with this image. Thanks to the 170 kg ready-to-ride weight, the bike is extremely easy to handle and playful. The engine only reveals its potential in the upper rev range, but revs up willingly and makes you want to ride in a sporty manner. Only the comfort-oriented chassis cannot quite cope with radically sporty demands - but this is quite legitimate and understandable for an entry-level motorbike.
Honda CBR650R 2019

The new CBR650R takes the spirit we know from classic four-cylinder sports tourers and brings it into the modern era. Thanks to the good engine tuning, you don't have to worry about being left behind by your two-cylinder friends, especially as you are rewarded with a lovely sound across the rev range. Unfortunately, however, there can be too much sound, as the roar below 4,500 rpm proved. On the chassis and seating position side, a compromise has been found that allows the CBR650R to cope well with everyday riding, as well as longer tours and house track hunts.
