Pros and Cons in comparison

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 Ninja 650 2019

The Ninja 650 firmly stamps its predecessor (Er-6f). The engine has mastered the Euro 4 hurdle well and serves up a very usable 68 hp, the chassis is simply great for this class, and the weight reduction of 18(!) kilos compared to the ER-6f justifies reverent nods.

Transparent chassis for sport

playful and good-natured handling, excellent brakes, sharp looks a la ZX-10R

resilient engine.

Little sound from the series pot

engine shows slight vibrations
