Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z1000 2018
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 XSR900 2023
The Yamaha XSR900 is a sporty retro bike with a powerful three-cylinder engine and modern electronics such as lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS. It impresses with its stability, agile handling and firm suspension, although it does let bumps through on longer stages. It is ideal for lovers of sporty bikes with retro charm.
