Ducati Streetfighter 848 2012

Ducati Streetfighter 848 2012

These are the almost 100% inherited superbike genes. You have to realise that you're not on a naked bike, but on a streetfighter. Then you feel comfortable.

More comfortable

pleasant riding position

widened footrests.

High weight

appearance rather unspectacular

high purchase price

partly inharmonious and bitchy.

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

All in all, the new Z1000 is a successful further development of its predecessor. The lack of traction control is more of a marketing problem than a problem for end customers.

Powerful engine

rich sound

unique design

No traction control

nervous chassis
