Suzuki SV 650 2017

Suzuki SV 650 spremlja dolga zgodovina uspehov, ki se bo zagotovo še dolgo nadaljevala. Njegov prožni motor V2 navdušuje z zelo gladko odzivnostjo in velikim navorom. Kompaktne dimenzije pripomorejo k temu, da je motorno kolo videti zelo kompaktno. To bo zelo priročno za začetnike. Podvozje je prav tako ocenjeno z igrivim upravljanjem. Žal zavorni učinek ni na ravni, ki bi jo pričakovali od tako zmogljivega vozila.

Kawasaki Z900 2018

Kawasaki Z900 2018

In the hotly contested naked bike segment, the Z900 plays right at the front. Above all, its engine is absolutely terrific, runs incredibly silky and offers rich power in all rev regions - as befits a Japanese four-cylinder. Its sporty, aggressive appearance matches this. It does without electronic bells and whistles, but still conveys a lot of confidence when chasing corners, braking and accelerating out of them. The low seat is especially beneficial for smaller riders, but taller riders might miss a flatter knee angle on long distances. The low weight and compactness make the Z900 particularly agile and easy to handle. A sporting cannon that is also extremely appealing in terms of price
