Wunderlich has optimised the already great R 1200 RS with pinpoint accuracy and turned it into a real dream machine. The straight handlebars fit the sports tourer really well. The bike's sporty look is justified. Anyone who tries this Wunderlich machine sets the bar incredibly high for their next motorbike. A real dream bike.

Precise and stable handling

comfortable seating position

great wind protection

with the Wunderlich conversion, a very sporty and sleek look overall.

Knee angle somewhat compact with long legs

Kawasaki turns the H2 into a fascinating sports tourer. The H2 SX is a new motorbike and, apart from the supercharger and the striking front end, has virtually nothing in common with the fearsome H2 and H2 R. It offers great comfort and shines with the familiar and universal virtues of a sports tourer. It offers great comfort and shines with the familiar and universal virtues of a sports tourer. On top of that, you enjoy breathtaking acceleration.

Fascinating power unit with high torque and strong pull with great responsiveness

great brakes and very stable in the braking zone

pleasant travelling comfort even at high speeds

high-quality driving assistance systems

12000km service interval.

Heating handle control a bit fiddly

electronic chassis would be practical and would fit the universal character very well
