Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2022

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2022

The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is certainly one of the nippiest touring motorbikes on the market. But is it also one of the best tourers? The lush equipment and electronics of Kawasaki's technological flagship offer comfort, stability and function flawlessly. You have to know how to deal with the powerful engine and somewhat sluggish turn-in behaviour, but then the Ninja H2 SX SE is fun to ride even in tight corners. Finally, the ergonomics determine whether the bike is suitable for travelling. Here, everyone has to decide for himself or herself whether he or she is comfortable with the very sporty stance. If so, the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is a formidable touring machine that cuts a fine figure from the motorway to the Alpine pass.

Extremely powerful engine

Extremely stable, semi-active chassis

State-of-the-art electronics

Very much feel for the front wheel

Good wind protection

Beautiful finish and large TFT display

Top brakes

Slightly sluggish turn-in behaviour

High price

Sporty seat may be too extreme for some riders

Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2015

Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2015

The Panigale 1299 S is a clear step forward from the old Panigale. Ducati fans who were not entirely satisfied with the previous model may now find their great love in the new machine. The many changes to the bike have made it stronger, faster and also a little more manoeuvrable. Fast and experienced riders who love 2-cylinders have no other choice anyway and will be happy. Traction control, engine electronics to control the engine brake and of course the electronic suspension from Öhlins are really good stuff. But even the new Panigale is not a motorbike with which not so nimble riders will find good times virtually on their own, like in the saddle of a BMW, for example. The Ducati has its own character, which not everyone likes, but which enchants Ducatisti to some extent.

Superb engine

great looks

great electronics package

fast lap times possible for Panigale connoisseurs and pros.

Very strenuous to drive

driving behaviour challenging for hobby pilots
