Kawasaki Ninja 650 2017

The Ninja 650 firmly stamps its predecessor (Er-6f). The engine has mastered the Euro 4 hurdle well and serves up a very usable 68 hp, the chassis is simply great for this class, and the weight reduction of 18(!) kilos compared to the ER-6f justifies reverent nods.
KTM 790 Duke 2018

The KTM 790 Duke L is an absolutely sporty naked bike with a high fun factor. Whether a beginner rider can handle it depends very much on his or her personality and riding behaviour. There are certainly motorbikes better suited for learning, but sporty radius hunters will hardly be satisfied with anything else. The 790 Duke L is also rather unenthusiastic about everyday rides in the city. On the country road, however, it's a blast, even with only 48 hp. Simply a fun bike as it is written in the book.
