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.

You like a Honda GoldWing - or you don't. For many people, the bulky, 421-kilo ship is simply too heavy. And that's perfectly legitimate, after all, not everyone can handle such a hunk. But once the Gold Wing is in motion, it is surprisingly easy to ride, thanks to the silky six-cylinder boxer engine. The braking system is also extremely reliable and precise. Of course, you can't demand too much sportiness given the limited lean angle, but you hardly have to make any concessions when it comes to the luxury features such as the sound system, navigation system, ventilation, heating and luggage compartment. And the 40th Anniversary Edition also looks very good with its noble paintwork.

incredible luxury

excellent wind protection

silky smooth engine

sound system

navigation system

comfortable chassis

excellent brakes

travel-friendly ergonomics

little lean angle clearance

windshield only manually adjustable

the engine has a lot of work with the high weight
