Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2017

The ZX-10R Ninja has a certain majesty, at the first rollout it seems very stable, you have to force it into the radius a little. After a few laps, however, this effect is transformed into an incredible precision that allows a pinpoint line. The engine has now really become noticeably stronger and makes the Kawa an enormously good overall package that can please not only die-hard Kawasaki fans. The traction control on the Kawa is particularly positive and regulates very sensitively. You can even adjust the engine brake - so it certainly doesn't lack for electronic features. The ZX-10R is the only superbike that is already Euro4-compliant in 2016!

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2008

Suzuki does not do things by halves and takes first place here. But much more important is the acceleration out of the bend. 185 hp or not. In the past, the GSX-R had an advantage here because of its longer-stroke engine. This has not changed in 2007.
