Kawasaki Z650 2020

It's simply marvellous what Kawasaki has put together in a complete package with the new Z650. The technical components may not knock your socks off individually, but in combination they make for a pleasantly neutral motorbike that everyone will enjoy. No bitchy idiosyncrasies - simply a naked bike that works really well on winding country roads. Of course, the TFT display, which we don't find in the competition at the moment, is a plus, as is the grown-up look, which is strongly oriented towards the larger Z models. Only the pressure point of the front brake could have been more clearly defined - but you can't have everything in this price range.

The golden mean of the three Street Triple Schwesetern S, R and RS inspires with balanced riding performance - not too comfortable but far enough away from the top model RS. The engine characteristics aim for a bulbous middle in the rev range and exude a lot of charisma - among other things because of the unique sound. In terms of handling, there is hardly anything better; the Street Triple is the lightest in its class. For smaller riders, there is a version with a low seat height, and for A2 licence holders, there is a variant with 95 hp that can easily be throttled down to 48 hp.
