Kawasaki Ninja 650 2017

A Ninja 650 é um selo firme da sua antecessora (Er-6f). O motor dominou bem a barreira do Euro 4 e oferece 68 cv muito úteis, o chassis é simplesmente fantástico para esta classe e a redução de peso de 18(!) quilos em comparação com a ER-6f justifica acenos de cabeça reverentes.
Kawasaki Vulcan S 2015

A Vulcan S está a revigorar o cenário das "pequenas" cruiser de tamanho médio - não só devido ao seu design único, mas também porque é muito fácil de conduzir e se destina a principiantes. A baixa altura do assento e o selim estreito ajudam o condutor a manter-se seguro no chão, enquanto o baixo centro de gravidade também permite um manuseamento fácil e seguro. O motor também se enquadra bem na aparência descomplicada, pode ser acelerado decentemente a partir das 2000 rpm e só pára por volta das 10.000 rpm - algo nunca antes visto numa cruiser. O sistema "Ergo-Fit", que varia a altura do assento, a distância do condutor ao guiador e os apoios para os pés, tem um custo adicional, mas também permite ao proprietário da Vulcan S generosas opções de personalização.
