Kawasaki Ninja H2 2016

Kawasaki Ninja H2 2016

The Ninja H2 represents a milestone in motorbike history. It is not only packed with electronic innovations, but also offers completely new technologies in terms of engine construction and mechanics. This high-tech research object of a Japanese technology company is actually for sale and can also be ridden. Basically, it rides like a normal motorbike, only with considerably more power. At first, the engine response is a challenge, but speed freaks will find a way to ride and enjoy this fascinating motorbike.

Outstanding build quality

fascinating engine with mechanical turbocharger

pull, acceleration and speed on a completely new level

narrow seat ensures safe standing - even for smaller riders

great stability

motorbike inspires a lot of confidence despite high performance

strong brakes

high-quality details

Response behaviour in the transition from pushing mode to acceleration phase not at the level of "normal" motorbikes

understeer in fast bends

from body height 185 cm it could be difficult to integrate the feet into the overall aerodynamic concept - test seat!

Kawasaki Z1000SX 2017

The nakedbike genes of the original Z1000 have fortunately been retained in the right areas, but the bike has been consistently tuned for touring suitability. An adapted seating position with a clearly comfortable seat (also and especially for the pillion rider), a finely controllable engine and sufficient wind protection provide the optimal basis for long, extensive and not least sporty rides. The rather compact knee angle might cause some of you to take an early break on long rides. In return, however, you get an upright riding position in which you can freely develop your upper body. The Z1000SX is a reduced to the essential touring bike with a top price-performance ratio! One thing in particular stood out: you don't always have to have all the electronic "helpers" on board to create a sporty bike that rides very well - a TOP sports tourer at a favourable price compared to the other two bikes!

Noticeable increase in power compared to the Versys 1000

Sensitive in-line four-cylinder that can be dosed in a controlled manner

The price-performance winner among the tested sports touring bikes

Ideal compromise between sportiness and touring capabilities

Electronically rather rudimentary

instruments not optimally readable in direct sunlight
