Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2018

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is closer to a racing machine than ever before. The engine shines with lightness and agility. The seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also due to the heart-warming sound and is now 20 years after the first R1 the biggest milestone in R1 history.

Very rev-happy engine

great sound

terrific handling

compact and radical machine - nevertheless great seating comfort

high-quality electronic equipment

high-quality and noble components with the most modern manufacturing methods.

agile driving style required - rolling around comfortably is not her thing

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2009

Ninja fans have no choice but to buy the new 10. It is lighter, stronger, easier to handle and yet easier to ride than any other ZX-10R to date. Even compared to the other Japanese bikes, the Kawa presents itself as superior. Besides the European bikes, emotions, preferences for certain colours and shapes certainly come into play.

Extremely precise traction control

efficient braking system

integrated electronics

positive ABS system

high engine power.

Suboptimal transmission - tight gearshifts.
