MV Agusta Brutale 800 2026

MV Agusta Brutale 800 2026

The MV Agusta Brutale 800 is a strong entry into the world of the Italian brand. It looks fantastic, offers a three-cylinder engine full of character and good usability, very agile handling and extensive standard equipment. Added to this is a price that makes the Brutale much more accessible than many other MV models. It is not quite perfect. The transmission could be smoother, the clutch requires a little more manual force and sporty riders might wish for more feeling for the front tyre. But these points do little to change the fact that the Brutale 800 is a lot of fun on the country road. It is easy to ride, emotional, has high-quality features and makes a real visual statement.

Kawasaki Z900 2019

Kawasaki Z900 2019

Fortunately, the new Kawasaki Z900 has lost none of its character through the use of electronics. It is and remains a playful mid-range naked bike, which at the same time masters the brisk pace on the country road magnificently. The riding pleasure and suitability for everyday use are high, the now installed riding aids offer a plus in safety. Your opponents will have a really hard time from now on.

Light and natural handling with high stability

Silky engine with full pull from mid revs

High chassis transparency, great feedback

Sitting position with feel-good factor

Fair price

TFT display mounted too low

Cumbersome menu operation

Rear view mirrors offer modest visibility
