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

Steel box swing arm not particularly sexy

CFMOTO 700CL-X 2022

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.

Characterful engine

Agile handling

Brakes are finely controllable

Ample equipment for the price

Comfortable seating position

Fully adjustable chassis

Buttons could give better feedback

brakes not suitable for very sporty driving
