Kymco AK 550i ABS 2019
The first impression on the Kymco AK 550i was thoroughly positive! The NOODOE system is a particular highlight on every climb, with customisable displays that sweeten the day time and time again. Thanks to the large power reserve of the in-line two-cylinder, overtaking manoeuvres are completely worry-free, even though the Kymco has quite a bit of weight around its hips. However, the centre of gravity is very low - once the AK 550i is rolling, the kilos are quickly forgotten. Only in the details does the Kymco weaken. The windshield, for example, can only be adjusted with tools and the readability of the instruments is not ideal in direct sunlight.
Yamaha Tracer 700 2017
The fact that the Yamaha MT-07 is the main parts donor for the Tracer 700 becomes apparent at the latest when you first open the throttle: the powerful parallel twin-cylinder engine exudes agility and a tremendous amount of riding fun. This makes it easy to live with on a touring enduro, which is a good match for longer distances. The chassis could be a little more precise and the windshield could be a little higher, but overall the Tracer 700 is the ultimate fun bike in its class - a lot of fun for comparatively little money.
