Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
CFMOTO 700CL-X 2022
As a motorbike from a lesser-known manufacturer, the CFMOTO 700CL-X will probably remain an insider's tip. However, those who dare to take it up will find the CL-X a chic, well-made and agile naked bike with top equipment at a competitive price. The fully adjustable chassis in particular is unique in the class and could make the right niche of demanding riders happy.
Fantic Caballero 700 2023
The Fantic Caballero 700 is a bit of a cheat - but a really clever one! The engine of this smart Italian comes from Japan, where it is known as the CP2 and powers successful models such as the MT-07 and Tenere 700. Accordingly, the Fantic is agile and lively, weighing 188 kilos ready to ride. Add to that pleasantly easy handling and a comfortable riding position paired with a ravishingly authentic look - and you have a really good scrambler. Since the tyres basically work well and only the larger 19-inch front wheel prevents even more agile handling, sticking to the scrambler style is also perfectly fine here.
