The S-class among motorbikes. You want to tour and travel in a relaxed manner, ideally with company, sufficient luggage stowed in the sophisticated, easy-to-use pannier systems. There are not many motorbikes on which women like to ride in the back, but the RT is one of them.

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
