such as the suspension, weight and power so you can find the perfect motorcycle for
your next two-wheeled adventures. Let's begin. Honda Rebel 300. This is the small custom from
the Japanese brand, which stands out for its minimalist style and simple handling.
And in 2025, it received some updates to improve its riding comfort. Its design is based on simple
lines that contrast with wide tires. And it's not the only detail that catches the eye, as the
gasoline tank also plays a leading role with its slanted position and round shape. All lighting is
completely LED and has circular shapes to not clash with the whole and the custom design,
just like the instrumentation composed of an LCD screen, which has been improved to offer
better visibility in high-light situations. Like any good cruiser, it is a comfortable
motorcycle by nature. And in the model for 2025, the handlebar has been repositioned and the seat
padding has been replaced with a higher quality one to further increase the level of comfort on
the move. This, added to a weight of only 191kg ready to ride, makes it a very versatile machine.
The soul of this motorcycle is a 471cc twin-cylinder capable of providing 47.6hp
at 8,500rpm and a torque of 43.3Nm at 6,000rpm, characteristics that make it one of the references
in this segment for its smooth operation, thrust at any engine speed, low consumption,
and reliability. It has four valves per cylinder that barely vibrate and it features an assisted
anti-rebound clutch to offer the utmost smoothness in riding. This engine has a top speed of 153kmh
and a declared fuel consumption of 3.6L per 100km. Its simple design stands out fully in its cycle
part. Its tubular steel chassis is narrow in the leg area to provide the rider with total
freedom of movement. It holds, in the front, a telescopic fork with 41mm bars without adjustment
and a pair of rear shock absorbers adjustable in preload in five positions from the Showa brand.
The wheels are 16 inches in size and are fitted with Dunlop tires. Regarding the brake system,
it equips a 296mm front disc with a 2-piston axial caliper and a 240mm rear disc actuated
by a single piston caliper, with the entire system provided by Nissan. To customize the motorcycle,
Honda makes three specific accessory packs available, although all of them can be purchased
individually along with many others available. You can purchase it for 7,050 euros.
Triumph Speed 400 Triumph fully enters the segment of small
naked bikes with a single cylinder that inherits all the image and finish quality of its bigger
sisters. It is a motorcycle equipped with an amount of technology unusual in its category,
which introduces a 398cc engine, which reaches a power of 40hp at 8000rpm and a maximum torque
of 37.5Nm at 6500rpm. It is a modern water-cooled engine with double overhead camshafts,
four valves, equipped with an anti-rebound clutch and disconnectable traction control
powered by an injection system provided by the Bosch brand with electronic throttle.
Everything points to it being a fun and exciting motorcycle to ride thanks to its ease of revving
up. This engine is complemented by a cycle part composed of a steel tube chassis to which the
subframe is bolted and an aluminum swingarm. It is a very light motorcycle, weighing just
170kg dry and with the seat situated only 790mm from the ground, which makes the Speed 400 an
accessible and easy motorcycle for riders of any size and level. The suspensions stand out,
composed of an inverted front fork with 43mm bars and a travel of 140mm and a rear monoshock
adjustable in preload with a travel of 130mm. It has a brake system with a 300mm front disc
bitten by a four-piston radial caliper and another rear one of 230mm both with ABS,
which is managed by a non-disconnectable Bosch controller. The tires it wears are Metzeler
Sportec M9RR on 17-inch wheels. Regarding its equipment, the most striking is its instrumentation,
which is an analog dial for the speedometer joined to a multifunctional digital LCD screen
with numerous information such as fuel consumption, range, engaged gear,
clock and engine maintenance, which is accessed via a button on the controls.
A USB-C port and full LED lighting must be added. Optionally, heated grips can be incorporated,
as well as a large number of accessories like panniers, heated seats, windscreen, etc.
You can acquire it for a value of €6,095.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
It is an all-terrain trail bike focused on a public looking for a simple and easy-to-use
motorcycle, which in 2024 is completely updated, maintaining its philosophy of a robust motorcycle
and classic design. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is a mid-displacement trail motorcycle that
has generated great expectation among lovers of two-wheeled adventures. This new version of the
popular Himalayan combines a classic design with modern technology and improved performance.
The heart of the Himalayan 450 is the new Sherpa engine, a liquid-cooled single-cylinder
with a compression ratio of 11.5 to 1, and the increase in capacity from 411 cubic centimeters
to 452 gives it a power of 40 hp and 40 Nm of torque. The previous version generated around
25 hp and 32 Nm of torque. The new 450 comes with a 6-speed gearbox, unlike its predecessor
which was 5-speed, an assisted clutch, and two riding modes, Performance and Eco. The power
curve is similar to that of the previous motorcycle, with 90% of the torque available at
3,500 rpm and maximum torque at 5,500 rpm. The suspension is manufactured by Showa. The 43mm
inverted front fork is not adjustable, while the rear shock absorber is adjustable in preload.
Both have 200mm of travel. The brake system is composed of one disc per wheel, with the front
being 320mm and the rear 270mm, which also represents an improvement over the previous
version. It has dual-channel ABS, disconnectable on the rear wheel for off-road terrain.
The instrumentation is composed of a round TFT screen that shows speed, rpm and all useful
information in an aesthetically pleasing way. If you connect it to your phone via the Royal
Enfield app, you can use the navigation system derived from Google Maps. The lighting of this
new version comes from the factory completely LED. Thanks to its ground clearance of 825mm
and its long travel suspension, the Himalayan 450 is capable of tackling difficult terrain
and unpaved roads. You can enjoy this animal for €5,887.
Suzuki SV650 It is a mid-displacement naked bike
with a simple and elegant style with sporty aspirations, perfect for those looking for a
light naked bike to enjoy in the city or on the road. It mounts a 90-degree V-twin engine of 645
cm3 with a power of 76.5 hp at 8,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 64 Nm at 8,100 rpm,
whose consumption is below 4 liters per 100 km. It is a mechanical unit with decades behind it,
originating from the first SV, released in the late 1990s, which makes it reliable and also
special given its architecture, providing a muscular response across a wide rev range.
The cycle part is composed of a tubular steel frame structure, a conventional fork with 140
mm of travel and a rear shock absorber, without adjustment possibility. In the brakes, we find
a double front disc of 290 mm with Tachiko double piston calipers and a 240 mm rear disc
with a Nissan caliper. It is a quite versatile motorcycle and is very accessible, thanks to its
seat being located only 785 mm from the ground and its declared weight of only 195 kg.
Honda NC750X Although Honda insists that it is an adventure motorcycle,
due to its characteristics and design, it seems more like a touring bike,
also ideal for daily use thanks to the practicality provided by its storage compartment
with capacity for a full-face helmet in the front where the fuel tank should be,
and in 2025 it incorporates some interesting novelties.
A multi-purpose use motorcycle requires an engine that is easy to use and offers comfort on the
move, and this engine meets these requirements. We are looking at a two-cylinder parallel engine
tilted forward that offers a very high torque figure from low revs, being 69 Nm at 4,750 rpm,
while its maximum power is 58 hp at only 6,250 rpm. Another aspect that plays in its favor
is the low consumption, around 3.6 liters per 100 km, giving a range of about 400 km.
It has an electronic throttle with three predefined riding modes,
Sport, Rain, and Standard, each of them affecting the power delivery,
engine braking, and traction control. Furthermore, there is a fourth customizable option,
called User, to adjust each of those parameters to the rider's taste.
The traction control is disconnectable and has three levels of intervention.
Lastly, its anti-rebound clutch stands out, which adds to the rest of the aids to achieve safer
and more efficient riding. Regarding the brake system, we find a double floating disc of 296
mm with Nissan double-piston calipers in axial mounting in the front. In the rear,
its 240 mm disc is maintained. There are no changes in the suspensions,
a conventional Showa fork with 41 mm bars without adjustment,
and a rear suspension with preload adjustment, both with a travel of 120 mm, which gives us
a seat height of 800 mm from the ground, an ideal height to reach the ground without any problem.
The shape of the chassis and the inclination of the engine allow for a wide space where the
fuel tank is usually located, which is under the seat. The best of all is that this space
does not affect the line of the motorcycle. Honda has implemented a 5-inch TFT instrumentation
that replaces the LCD of previous models, which not only offers better image quality regardless
of ambient light, but also offers connectivity with navigation through the RoadSync app,
allowing navigation via the backlit controls on the handlebar. You can enjoy it for €8,865.
Yamaha Tracer 9 GT It is the intermediate version within the
Japanese brand's Sport Touring family, which, unlike the standard version it is based on,
incorporates electronically adjustable suspensions and side panniers and in 2025
introduces important improvements. Yamaha has bet on a great technological advance by
incorporating adaptive matrix LED lights that, through a camera integrated into the fairing,
analyze traffic, exterior lighting and weather conditions to automatically adjust the light
intensity. The system is automatic, but the user always has the possibility to put it in manual
mode or choose between different sensitivity levels. With this new front end, the Tracer takes
a more muscular image than the previous version, being more prepared for long trips thanks to its
new electronically adjustable windscreen. Another change is a new seat, flatter and more cushioned,
which also makes it higher in height, but this is compensated by being a bit narrower in its front
part, allowing for better reach to the ground. The passenger seat also changed its shape,
growing in size as a longer subframe has been mounted. The footpegs and handlebar have been
relocated to achieve a more natural posture on the motorcycle. Maneuverability has also
improved by expanding the handlebar's turning radius. There are no major changes inside the
engine. The only notable one is the update to Euro 5+. It is an engine designed to get the
most out of it at any moment, with an inline 3-cylinder of 890 ccm, capable of delivering 119
hp and a maximum torque of 93 Nm, with a response full of low and mid-range for city or touring
riding, but with a more explosive top end to enjoy a more sporty ride. It is equipped with a good
electronic arsenal with traction, slide and anti-wheelie controls and a latest generation
quickshifter. Another novelty offered by the new Tracer is that it increases the number of riding
modes going from 3 to 5, of which 3 of these modes are pre-configured and the last 2 are
completely customizable through the TFT screen or with the mobile phone via the MyRide app.
Regarding the suspensions, they are semi-active, developed jointly with KYB and are the most
outstanding feature within the Tracer's cycle part. They are composed of an inverted front fork
with 41mm bars with 130mm of travel and a rear monoshock with 131mm of travel,
and they are regulated by the KADS system, which regulates their operation,
taking into account data recorded by the IMU such as lean angle, load, acceleration and speed.
The behavior of the suspensions also takes into account the selected riding mode
to offer a firmer or more comfortable response according to each moment.
Nissan continues to provide the braking equipment, highlighting the double front
calipers. In the rear, it equips a single disc of 267mm bitten by a single piston caliper,
both with disconnectable ABS. The new instrumentation of the Tracer is composed
of a large screen with three display modes with connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
It is also compatible with the Garmin Motorize app to have a complete mapping system with basic
smartphone functions, accessible via the buttons on the left switch cube.
This motorcycle comes standard with side panniers with a centralized lock with the smart key and a
side glove compartment for small personal items that is always good to have on hand when we are
riding. The smart key also allows opening the fuel tank cap as well and, obviously,
starting the motorcycle. You can enjoy this model for a value of 14,895 euros.
Honda Goldwing Tour It is the best-equipped
version of the iconic Japanese Gran Turismo, a motorcycle in which everything has been thought
out to offer maximum luxury and comfort on routes and long trips, although there is a
less-equipped basic version. It shares with the standard Goldwing the same base with a powerful
six-cylinder engine of 1,833 cubic centimeters with four valves per cylinder capable of
providing 125 horsepower and a very powerful torque of 170 Nm at 4,500 revolutions.
Something similar happens with its equipment, highlighted by elements such as electronic
throttle with four riding modes, Tour, Sport, Eco, and Rain, as well as Honda's selectable torque
control, combined braking, hill start assist, electronic suspensions, and an idling stop system
that stops the engine during deceleration and traffic lights. Regarding the provision of
suspensions and brakes, it equips a double-aluminum dual-wishbone front fork electronically adjustable
with 110 mm of travel with the goal of reducing friction bumps in braking, offering maximum
agility in turns. As for the brakes, it equips an ABS system that varies its level of intrusion
depending on the selected riding mode, and a combined braking system that takes care of
distributing the braking force between the two wheels. The electric windscreen is activated from
the left part of the handlebar and allows varying the angle and height depending on the driver's
taste and need. Its lighting is full LED, it has a self-canceling turn signal system, a proximity
key, and even an airbag, an exclusive feature of the Touring version. Its instrumentation is composed
of a 7-inch full-color TFT screen capable of providing all the necessary information to the
rider, such as the different essential parameters in riding like engine management, suspension
adjustments, audio systems, navigation, and tire pressure. In addition to all this, it is compatible
with Apple CarPlay and with Android Auto. It can be yours for €39,000.
Indian Roadmaster. It is a fully equipped touring bike to undertake trips with maximum comfort.
In 2024, it is presented again in three versions. All of them mount the V-twin Thunderstroke 116
engine, capable of providing a torque of 171 Nm at 3,000 rpm, taking advantage of all its power
from low revolutions. Thanks to its electronic throttle, it has three riding modes, Standard,
Touring, and Sport, where the rider adapts it to the use they want to give it. It also incorporates
a system for deactivating the rear cylinder when riding at low speed in the city, which prevents
overheating and decreases fuel consumption. Regarding the cycle part, this great tourer
is equipped with a 119mm telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock adjustable by air of 114mm.
The brakes are composed of a double floating front disc of 300mm bitten by a 4-piston caliper,
and in the rear a floating disc also of 300mm actuated by a 2-piston caliper, both with ABS.
Indian has strived to improve the seats of this motorcycle, making them heated and cooled
depending on the climate, both for the rider and the passenger. To this is added the aerodynamic
protection, provided by its large front fairing equipped with an electronically adjustable wind
screen and incorporated fog lights. Regarding the equipment, it is composed of a large multimedia
screen with connectivity, supported by a 200-watt audio system with a dynamic equalizer that adjusts
to road, wind and engine noise. The grips are heated as standard and the adjustable foot pegs
also help to find the most comfortable position possible. Lastly, the great capacity of its side
panniers and the rear trunk must be highlighted, so you will never lack anything on a long-distance
trip, as its total capacity is 140 liters. It is a motorcycle that lacks no detail in its finishes,
where we find LED lighting, ignition via proximity key, cruise control and tire
pressure monitoring. It also includes Apple CarPlay as standard across the entire range,
and it can be yours for €35,000. BMW R 1300 GS
It is the natural evolution of a long line of BMW motorcycles that stand out for their perfect
combination of power, comfort and off-road capability. It features the well-known brand
characteristic 1300cc boxer engine, but with some improvements, shift cam, which produces
145 horsepower and a torque of 149 Nm at 6,500 revolutions, providing impressive performance
both on highways and dirt roads. Equipped with a 6-speed gearbox, now located below the engine

that it improves weight distribution, allowing for greater dynamic balance. Its suspension
is quite innovative as it uses the new Evo Telelever system in the front part that works
by means of a swinging arm and a joint located in the upper part of the front wheel, thus
separating the functions of suspension and steering, reducing the diving effect during
braking and improving stability. In the rear, it equips the Evo Paralever system similar to the
front part, where it connects the shock absorber through a joint situated above the swingarm.
Furthermore, there is the option to add electronic adjustment that allows adjusting
the damping according to road conditions and riding style. The brake system is composed,
in the front, of a double semi-floating brake disc with a diameter of 310 mm bitten by a 4-piston
