Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2022

The World Raid is a successful addition to the Ténéré 700 model range. Until now, it was up to the real enthusiasts themselves to improve the off-road suitability. With the World Raid, Yamaha is now putting a ready-made version for long (desert) tours into the showrooms of the dealers. Even if the full 500 kilometre range is rarely needed in practice, this model is especially worthwhile because of its fine chassis components. On the road, the World Raid is less rocky; off-road, the enormous reserve provided by the fully adjustable KYB hardware is convincing. The response is at an absolute top level. The standard Öhlins steering damper also brings calm to the front. In addition to subtle model updates, such as the colour display, smartphone connectivity or new controls, the World Raid continues to shine with familiar Ténéré qualities. After our test, we say: Sometimes less is still more. It knows how to please!
Kawasaki Ninja 650 2023

To judge the Kawasaki Ninja 650 purely on its paper form would be a serious mistake. The two-day test showed once again that performance data carries more weight at the pub table than in the wild. Kawa's sports tourer does exactly what it is supposed to and, thanks to the constant revision and the new features added for 2023, is still an enrichment for the class. Only hobby racers should be warned, as the name Ninja still stirs up a certain expectation that the 650 does not fully meet.
