Suzuki GSR 600 2006

The naked Suzuki has not been spared in any neuralgic areas. On the road, you enjoy the high-quality engine and chassis. It is super agile in tight corners and fast and stable in wide radii.

Rev-hungry engine

stable and lively at the same time

excellent overall package

clearly lacks wind protection

USD fork would suit it well.

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is a marvellous deceptive package with all its advantages and actually no disadvantages. Because anyone expecting super-sporty performance from this entry-level mid-range sports bike has got something wrong. Instead, the 45 hp engine gets off to a good start right from the bottom and has a throaty, sporty roar when you wind out a gear. The handling is extremely agile thanks to the low weight and narrow tyres, and the suspension surprises with unexpected aplomb. The brakes don't scare anyone and the ergonomics are pleasantly suitable for everyday use despite the superbike look. The standard Ninja pays off for all those who really want it very discreet.

Engine with more stroke provides more torque and thus appears much more mature

balanced chassis

good-natured but functional brakes

super-sporty look

LCD gauges only
