Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 XR 2021
BMW S 1000 XR nabízí příjemný cestovní motocykl na bázi supersportovního motocyklu. Zní to jako kompromis - ale jezdí jako vypointovaný vývoj. Motocykl je praktický a vyspělý. Ochrana proti větru a povětrnostním vlivům je velmi dobrá, integrace z mobilního telefonu je dobře otestovaná a intuitivní a s motorem je zkrátka vždy radost jezdit. Podvozek se dobře přizpůsobuje stavu zatížení, ale nikdy není citlivý a opravdu pohodlný. Pohodlí sedadla je dobré, ale úhel kolen se na dlouhých trasách stává poněkud ostrým. Přesto je to skvělý motocykl, na kterém se rádo jezdí sportovně, ale i velmi daleko.
Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2023
Sportovní cestovní vůz staré školy. Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX splňuje všechny body, které byste od této kategorie motocyklů očekávali. K tomu se přidává rozsáhlý balíček elektroniky, který nabízí vše, co si na cestách můžete přát - a to bez příplatku! To, že ovládání možná není tak intuitivní, jak to už zvládá konkurence, odpustíte nejpozději při pohledu na cenovku.
