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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
