Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2022

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

KTM 300 EXC 2023

The KTM 300 EXC remains the reference in the hard enduro segment and offers a first-class overall package for sporty riders. The powerful but easily controllable engine, precise suspension and modern technology make it the ideal choice for both tough enduro bike competitions and demanding off-road adventures. Some details such as the tight rear end and the tank pump could be improved, but overall the bike impresses with an impressive blend of power, agility and rideability.

Powerful and high-traction engine

low vibration despite two-stroke technology

linear and controllable power delivery

very good handling and high manoeuvrability

precise and stable suspension

high-quality Brembo brakes and clutch

tool-free suspension adjustment

automatic oil metering and injection for problem-free operation at all heights

narrow and ergonomic seating position

versatile use from hard enduro to enduro bike competition

Frame stiffness at the rear reduces comfort on rough surfaces

tank pump can cause problems when the tank level is low
