Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2023

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2023

A sports tourer of the old school. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX fulfils all the points you would expect from this bike category. Added to this is a comprehensive electronics package that offers everything you could wish for when travelling - and at no extra charge! The fact that the operation is perhaps not quite as intuitive as the competition already manages, is forgiven at the latest when you take a look at the price tag.

silky four-cylinder

comfortable yet sporty ergonomics

wind protection

standard electronics package

lots of stability thanks to full fairing

very accessible.

Engine needs revs

electronics could be more user-friendly

windshield only adjustable with two hands

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

The engine now produces 160 hp and 135 Nm. This should make further comments on driving performance superfluous. Sitting upright with the windshield extended, you can accelerate to over 250 km/h with absolute ease. Only at this point do you start to think a little about the poor engine - below this, it is simply completely underpowered, always and everywhere.

Relaxed riding feel

confident turn-in behaviour

strong engine - lots of power

efficient windshield.

Handling disadvantages in bends.
