Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2023

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2023

The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is certainly one of the nippiest touring motorbikes on the market. But is it also one of the best tourers? The lush equipment and electronics of Kawasaki's technological flagship offer comfort, stability and function flawlessly. You have to know how to deal with the powerful engine and somewhat sluggish turn-in behaviour, but then the Ninja H2 SX SE is fun to ride even in tight corners. Finally, the ergonomics determine whether the bike is suitable for travelling. Here, everyone has to decide for himself or herself whether he or she is comfortable with the very sporty stance. If so, the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is a formidable touring machine that cuts a fine figure from the motorway to the Alpine pass.

Extremely powerful engine

Extremely stable, semi-active chassis

State-of-the-art electronics

Very much feel for the front wheel

Good wind protection

Beautiful finish and large TFT display

Top brakes

Somewhat sluggish turn-in behaviour

High price

Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak 2023

Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak 2023

Are you looking for a long-distance adventure bike with that certain extra sportiness? Then the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is just right for you! Slightly sportier ergonomics than its sisters, a chic single swing arm at the rear, some war paint with Pecco Bagnaia's number 1 and, above all, the smaller 17 inch tyres and the electronic Öhlins suspension ensure great handling. Nothing had to be changed to the charismatic 170 Horsepower V4 and the formidable Brembo Stylema stoppers - sporty enough for bold attacks on country roads and race tracks, suitable for everyday use on typical adventure bike tours. In other words, a perfect love affair, which is only spoilt by the high price or, unfortunately, probably prevented in most cases.
