CFMOTO 450NK 2024

The CFMOTO 450 NK proves to be a surprisingly solid and price-conscious alternative in the naked bike segment. It offers good engine performance with smooth running and a throaty sound, an accessible riding position and a pleasant riding performance. Despite some weaknesses such as the torsion-prone fork under heavy braking and the very labby clutch, it has no serious shortcomings and is a real option for riders looking for an inexpensive, yet powerful bike. On the other hand, it also offers no advantages over the competition in this class. The price advantage is not big enough.

Kawasaki Z650 2022

Even in 2021, the Kawasaki Z 650 stands for easy riding with great looks and good equipment. Both seat height and engine are very accessible and will give both experienced riders and newcomers a lot of pleasure. If you are looking for an honest naked bike without any big surprises, this is the bike for you. Due to its compact dimensions, however, you should try it out before buying and perhaps go for the raised seat.

accessible two-cylinder

compact dimensions

low seat height

stable chassis

TFT display with connectivity

grown-up look

Probably uncomfortable for tall riders

adrenaline level in the saddle lower than with the competition
