Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

The new Hornet 750 is a really successful naked bike that sets itself above most competitors in the upper entry-level bike class with its wonderfully agile and powerful engine, balanced handling and chassis, comfortable riding position and, last but not least, its extensive electronic equipment. Actually, it comes very close to the middle class, only the boring swingarm and the narrow 160 rear tyre (which, however, helps the handling enormously) do not quite fit into this segment. However, it is hardly more expensive than the entry-level bikes, and instead a few, sometimes even many thousands cheaper than the mid-range. That makes it an unbeatable offer!

Powerful, high-torque engine

good brakes

comfortable seating position

agile handling

well-balanced chassis

extensive electronics

affordable, optional quickshifter

excellent price

Steel box swing arm not particularly sexy

Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2016

Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2016

The Kawasaki crew had a vision. To build a bike that would cause a stir and push forward into completely new dimensions in terms of performance and technology. This vision has been realised. The 326 Horsepower machine can be ridden by experienced pilots without acute danger to life. The intensity of the acceleration is indescribable. But the perfect overall appearance of the bike with countless high-quality details is also impressive. Compared to normal bikes, the H2 R has weaknesses in throttle response and line precision at high speeds. Overall, the H2 R is the most fascinating bike of all time for the test pilot and can be recommended to petrol junkies with a clear conscience. The H2 R is available for the price of a well-equipped German-made premium estate - only with "a little" more adrenalin.

Build quality

power, torque, acceleration, surprisingly low maintenance in the 300hp league

acceleration - like something from another planet

very good engine modulation

if you are over 185 cm tall, be sure to try it out - it could be tight on your feet

high-quality details at every corner

over 300hp, yet highest quality standards from series production

superb paintwork

excellent brakes

great stability in every situation

Engine reponsiveness at the first few degrees on the throttle

understeer at high speeds

higher maintenance requirements than with normal bikes

the sound is infernal - you can love it, but it can also lead to problems on race tracks
