Kawasaki Z 500 2024

With 52 cubic metres more displacement, the new Z500 does not appear to be a ground-breaking development compared to its predecessor, the Z400, but the increase in torque actually makes for a much more confident and mature appearance. The handling remains extremely playful thanks to the low weight and narrower tyres, while the ergonomics are what you would expect from an easy-going A2 naked bike. The suspension surprises with a really successful compromise between sport and comfort for all weight classes. The unagitated brakes, the smooth clutch and the easy manoeuvring make it clear that the new Z500 is aimed at all newcomers. However, the better and more modern equipped Z500 SE does not cost much more than the standard Z500.

If you like a cool scrambler look but need to stay in the A2-compatible range when it comes to the engine, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X is a really smart choice. The 400cc engine has a nice torque in the mid-range; it doesn't really wind out a gear. The riding position is upright, the suspension is comfortable yet stable. The Scrambler 400 X can therefore also be ridden in a sporty manner, although the front brakes require too much manual force when ridden with vigour. On the other hand, the features are generous with the many off-road orientated attachments and put the higher price into perspective compared to the naked Speed 400 sister.
