Yamaha TMAX 2017

Yamaha TMAX 2017

The Yamaha TMAX is still an arrow-quick riding machine in 2017. It remained true to its line and offers motorbike riding performance with scooter comfort. In the current vintage, it now finally has more storage space. The drive unit has been spruced up with lots of electronics and feels fantastic. A real top product at a premium price.

great brakes

high-quality chassis allows high speed even on bad asphalt

great engine with super-tuned electronics for injection and gearbox

high-quality workmanship

High price

somewhat fiddly storage compartment in the front fairing

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2023

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2023

To judge the Kawasaki Ninja 650 purely on its paper form would be a serious mistake. The two-day test showed once again that performance data carries more weight at the pub table than in the wild. Kawa's sports tourer does exactly what it is supposed to and, thanks to the constant revision and the new features added for 2023, is still an enrichment for the class. Only hobby racers should be warned, as the name Ninja still stirs up a certain expectation that the 650 does not fully meet.
