Kawasaki Versys 1000 2017
The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is not a completely new model - even if it looks like one from the design point of view. The look has been cleverly adapted to the current aggressive Kawasaki line with two pointed headlights and many edges at the front. Technically, on the other hand, it has been cautiously upgraded - but quite sensibly. Two additional horsepower boost the output to 120 hp, which is excellent to ride thanks to the wonderful in-line four-cylinder characteristics. The chassis corresponds to the sporty demands of a Kawasaki, but the ergonomics and comfortable seating position allow for long journeys - just like a big enduro. With useful accessories such as a pannier set, top case, heated grips and additional headlights, the Versys 1000 becomes a serious long-distance tourer - the comparatively low base price makes these gimmicks quite affordable.
Honda CB 1100 2013
All in all, the CB 1100 is certainly not a motorbike for consumer fetishists. Once purchased, it will serve you faithfully for the next 20 to 30 years. It will not look much older than it does today. It will probably not bring in less money than it would have after 3-4 years if it had been sold.
