Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 2017

Kawasaki Z900 2017

An incredibly well-designed motorbike. A lot of test work and attention to detail went into it. It has exactly the right power, exactly the right chassis and exactly the right look. An all-round successful naked bike that will make you happy for a long time. If you like, you can ride it simply and faithfully, but if you want, you can also ride it really fast and it wheels like hell. Great!

Ingenious nakedbike chassis

superb looks

engine responds super fine, revs up willingly and has a perfectly dimensioned torque

optimum intersection of performance, price and practical use

Knee angle very narrow for tall people (order another seat!)

BMW S 1000 RR 2012

BMW S 1000 RR 2012

What remains is fascination, bewilderment and fear. You can't shake the uneasy feeling that you're not quite yourself on this bike. It feels like a heavy metal concert with earplugs.

Complete, electronic equipment

good braking system

strong engine

extremely fast on the road

appropriate appearance.

Chassis somewhat complicated and takes a lot of getting used to.
