Kawasaki Z650 2021

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

Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 2024

Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 2024

The Italians know exactly how to polish an icon - the V7 Stone also has the characteristic, longitudinally mounted V2 engine with the typical diagonally protruding cylinders. And this model in particular should appeal not only to true Guzzi fans, but also to all those who are looking for a balanced, uncomplicated bike. Although the engine has its typical vibrations, it behaves in a good-natured manner, the suspension is more comfortable than sporty and the riding position also fits the cosy character perfectly. The single disc brake at the front even grips surprisingly well and the overall look is direct to the heart. Only the LCD dashboard looks out of place and modern.

Modern engine with a classic look

low-maintenance cardan drive

comfortable seating position

good single disc brake at the front

beautiful design

LCD gauges not easy to read, very delayed gear indicator

higher weight

very lax rear brake
