Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Monster 2021

Ducati Monster 2021

Ducati has done a good job with the Monster. On paper, you quickly realise that Ducati was able to save a few costs on the equipment. But in the saddle, riding pleasure dominates. Pure joie de vivre spreads out when the agile machine waggles heart-warmingly through the radii. The charismatic V2 rolls casually and perfectly out of the bends.

Powerful V2 engine

lots of power from low revs

comprehensive electronics package

quickshifter as standard

neutral handling

great combination of riding fun and practicality.

Chassis could do with a little more finesse in this price range.

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

The new Hornet 750 is a really successful naked bike that sets itself above most competitors in the upper entry-level bike class with its wonderfully agile and powerful engine, balanced handling and chassis, comfortable riding position and, last but not least, its extensive electronic equipment. Actually, it comes very close to the middle class, only the boring swingarm and the narrow 160 rear tyre (which, however, helps the handling enormously) do not quite fit into this segment. However, it is hardly more expensive than the entry-level bikes, and instead a few, sometimes even many thousands cheaper than the mid-range. That makes it an unbeatable offer!

Powerful, high-torque engine

good brakes

comfortable seating position

agile handling

well-balanced chassis

extensive electronics

affordable, optional quickshifter

excellent price

Steel box swing arm not particularly sexy
