Kawasaki Z1000 2015

Kawasaki Z1000 2015

The Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) is a statement against the electronic trend of its time - and that is exactly what makes it special today. Its characterful four-cylinder engine, mechanical directness and uncompromising focus on the essentials strike a chord in a time when many bikes have become rolling computers. Yes, it does without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and perfect wind protection. But it offers an authentic naked bike riding experience, paired with Japanese reliability and reasonable maintenance costs. The Z1000 is not a bike for data sheet junkies or electronics fans - it is a bike for people who still want to make their own decisions when rider. An honest bike with character that continues to inspire even after years and more than fulfils its role as an emotional alternative to the digital modern age.

Yamaha R7 2022

Yamaha R7 2022

Those who expect the Yamaha R7 to be a half-hearted solution will be surprised at how well-balanced the little supersports bike is. Of course, the engine with just over 70 hp doesn't have what it takes to challenge the R6, for example, but the engine with its punch from below fits the character perfectly. The chassis components are of high quality, even fully adjustable at the front, and the handling of the slim grenade is absolutely awesome. The seating position is fine, not as radical as on a real super sports bike, and therefore suitable for everyday use.
