Potřebujete u cestovního motocyklu 175 koní nebo dokonce launch control? Samozřejmě že ne. Je to zábava? Určitě! Přestože Super Duke GT neskrývá své geny a navzdory své suché hmotnosti 209 kg je nepopiratelně vévodou, co se týče obratnosti a síly v zatáčkách, stále je možné se s ním pohodově projíždět, samozřejmě vždy za předpokladu určité "vyspělosti" s takovými výkonovými údaji. Protože na rozdíl od Super Duke R nebo dokonce 890 Duke R mi to neustále nenaznačuje nůž mezi zuby, ale spíš pocit suverenity, svobodně podle hesla "můžu, ale nemusím". A to vše v bohaté sériové výbavě, neboli jak by se dalo očekávat od motocyklu, který stojí 22 499 eur v Rakousku nebo 19 053 eur v Německu.
Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2020

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX je spíše evolucí než revolucí - ale jaký smysl má ve vyváženém sportovním cestovním motocyklu všechno znovu vymýšlet? Nový název je však rozhodně oprávněný, díky mnoha novým funkcím, které umožňuje mimo jiné systém Ride-by-Wire, je tento sportovní cestovní motocykl naprosto aktuální. ABS v zatáčkách, moderní kontrola trakce a jízdní režimy poskytují bezpečnost a možnosti přizpůsobení osobním preferencím, asistent řazení upřednostňuje sportovní i cestovní jízdu. A co víc, cena je žhavá (alespoň v Rakousku)!
