Kawasaki Ninja 650 2021

Save the sport tourer! With the Ninja 650, Kawasaki has created an exemplary representative of this class and (hopefully) solved the problem of the new generation. The stable chassis and the decent two-cylinder will delight beginners and advanced riders alike, even at a brisker pace. The front brake is a little too well intentioned, lacking a transparent pressure point despite basically good braking performance. Another plus is the TFT display, which we don't find in the competition at the moment, as well as the grown-up look, which is strongly oriented towards the larger Ninja models.

For supersport fans in the A1 class, the Aprilia RS 125 is definitely a hot candidate. Thanks to its high-quality chassis and well thought-out suspension set-up, it appears stable in every situation and rewards with higher cornering speed than the competition. Its looks are reminiscent of its big sister RSV4, because if you overlook the rear tyre, there is a serious risk of confusion! Compared to its V4 sister, however, the RS125 scores with a very comfortable riding position that keeps wrist pain to a minimum in everyday use.
