Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2010

Yamaha R1 2010

The current engine in the R1 scores points above all with its unmistakable sound, very transparent response and linear power delivery. In terms of peak power, however, Yamaha had to cut back a little.

Strong engine

sophisticated engine character

optimal braking system

comfortable seating position.

Suboptimal suspension elements

low peak power

slightly weak traction

high weight.

Kawasaki Z650 2019

Kawasaki Z650 2019

The Kawasaki Z 650 is the tip of the middle class for small male and female riders. On its compact dimensions, you probably won't feel comfortable as a giant. Heart-warming feelings, however, come from the engine, which delights with a very smooth pull. On the chassis side, a Kawasaki-typical tight set-up was chosen, which finds a great compromise in everyday use. The negative display is very easy to read and is reminiscent of its predecessor, the ER-6n - very nice!

Even power delivery

sporty chassis

compact dimensions

negative display

a little too small for tall people
