Honda CB1000 Hornet SP 2025

The Honda CB1000 Hornet SP is more than just a new bike - it's a statement. Honda proves that they can still do it. They have created a bike that impresses in every respect: engine, suspension, brakes, price-performance ratio. You sit on it and immediately know how to ride this thing. There are no puzzles, no nasty surprises. Just pure, honest performance at a price that makes the competition look old. This isn't just a good bike - it's a game changer. Honda is back, and how they are back.
Ducati Monster 2024

You can always argue about the looks and the lack of a trellis frame, but the current Monster is anything but ugly. Basically, it would be a great everyday naked bike with pleasant ergonomics and a braking system that won't surprise even the inexperienced. The even softer suspension can also be seen as an acceptable compromise, but for a Ducati it is rather surprising that at least the front fork has not been set a little firmer. Unfortunately, the charismatic engine bucks heavily at low revs and therefore only reveals its marvellous V2 character on the country road. All in all, however, this reflects the overall image of the Monster very well: a typical Ducati that is also good for everyday riding in terms of suspension and brakes.
