This fits any

The question remains as to the target group of the bike. Of course, you have to be able to live with the advantages of the agile Naked Bikes, as well as with their disadvantages such as the non-existent windscreen. But apart from that, the Honda, like so many models from this manufacturer, suits virtually anyone – it's never a bad choice.

Only that with passion, the Japanese would have to do even better.

The test bike was provided to us by Motofun in Kaltenkirchen.
