Kawasaki Versys 650 2013

With a full tank of only 211 kg, it is particularly easy to handle in the mountains. All in all, it is at home almost anywhere, an everyday bike with that certain kick. With a new headlight and modernised design, the Versys is back on the attack.

Absolutely suitable for everyday use

interesting concept

very low consumption.

Performance not too high.

Honda CB500F 2016

Honda CB500F 2016

Like its two-cylinder predecessors CB500 and CBF500, the new CB500F presents itself as a mature motorbike for beginners, returning riders or for the daily commute to work. With the modern LED headlight and LED tail light, Honda is moving with the times and thus offers a great package in the A2 driving licence class. With its nimble handling, it is convincing both in city traffic and on country roads, and thanks to the revisions to the engine and transmission, it cuts a sportier figure than ever before. The chassis, on the other hand, offers enough comfort, which is further supported by the adjustable brake lever.

easy handling

powerful, elastic engine

comfortable seating position

LED lighting technology

nice sound

missing gear indicator
