Honda CB650R 2019

Honda CB650R 2019

Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning gives enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The suspension components clearly attempt a balancing act between everyday life and sportiness, which is why unrest can quickly be found in the vehicle when approaching the cornering at a brisk pace. Somehow, however, this imperfection gives the Honda a lot of character and gives the rider the feeling of having to actively integrate himself into the action. For country road racers with a daily commute, a real recommendation!

Rev-happy engine

reasonable power

sporty seating position

wide handlebars

very rideable motorbike

comfortable for everyday use

pretty display.

Weakness in the chassis can be seen as a disadvantage

not as much power from the hairpin as two-cylinder competition

Yamaha MT-09 2025

Yamaha MT-09 2025

Yes, Yamaha has produced a really leiwandes bike. All the criticisms of its predecessor have been successfully revised without neutering the wild and playful nature of the MT-09. The fourth generation is more mature, more precise and more polished, rides more neutrally and is more stable without losing its light-footedness. A marvellous bike that currently offers an almost unbeatable price-performance ratio thanks to many detail improvements and has now even become really pretty. The Yamaha dealers won't be able to save themselves from orders after test rides. Let's hope that availability is guaranteed, because the new MT-09 is the definition of the word "direct hit"!

Powerful acceleration in every situation / potent engine

aggressive but not too loud sound

good ergonomics for good feedback and confidence

lavish basic features

precise chassis with good everyday tuning

beautiful display

good workmanship

agile and playful handling

versatile three-cylinder engine

good stability

modern electronics package

Fiddly indicator function

seat comfort in the crotch area could be improved

controls less intuitive than on some competitors

polarised front design
