Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z1000SX 2016

The current model of the Kawasaki Z1000SX is already a wonderfully balanced motorbike that scores points with its sporty charms as well as its comfort features and long-distance capability. However, the new 2017 model makes everything even better: refined wind protection, a more comfortable seat, better accessories and a host of electronic helpers that make riding safe and confident even in adverse conditions. Nothing had to be changed in the sporty character of the powerful engine, and the look with the LED headlights and the many edges is almost on the level of a super sports bike - all in all, an absolutely successful further development.
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2020

As before, the RS top model is indeed the most desirable of the Street Triples. In addition to the usual playful handling, the super-direct Brembo brakes and the lively character of the three-cylinder engine, there is now a more bulbous mid-range, upgraded electronics as well as a Brembo M50 brake and the once again sharpened appearance. Thanks to the very sporty Pirelli Supercorsa SP V3 tyres, trackdays are indeed a serious issue, and the now standard shift assistant with blipper function greatly increases the incentive to switch to the new model. A wonderful fun machine for both country road and track!
