Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati 1199 Panigale S 2012

Panigale buyers will certainly have a lot of fun with the Ducati, but at the beginning of the season a lot of work has to be put into a functioning setup. On the track, we are sure that with enough know-how in the backpack, the Panigale will be able to show its full potential and the lap times will be pushed to a new level.

Plenty of power

quality traction point

great ABS

electronically adjustable suspension

light weight

immaculate brakes.

Very high purchase price.

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2022

A sports tourer of the old school. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX fulfils all the points you would expect from this bike category. Added to this is a comprehensive electronics package that offers everything you could wish for when travelling - and at no extra charge! The fact that the operation is perhaps not quite as intuitive as the competition already manages, is forgiven at the latest when you take a look at the price tag.

silky four-cylinder

comfortable yet sporty ergonomics

wind protection

standard electronics package

lots of stability thanks to full fairing

very accessible.

Engine needs revs

electronics could be more user-friendly

windshield only adjustable with two hands
