Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2018

Yamaha R1 2018

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is closer to a racing machine than ever before. The engine shines with lightness and agility. The seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also due to the heart-warming sound and is now 20 years after the first R1 the biggest milestone in R1 history.

Very rev-happy engine

great sound

terrific handling

compact and radical machine - nevertheless great seating comfort

high-quality electronic equipment

high-quality and noble components with the most modern manufacturing methods.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR 2024

The mere fact that the Kawa Ninja ZX-4RR with its high-revving Inline four-cylinder engine in bonsai format has no real competition makes it absolutely unique. The engine is also the absolute flagship, with a rev limit at 16,000 touring you'll be addicted to wind out a gear! The suspension, brakes and electronics are of a high height, but what is more surprising is that, despite all the sportiness, the bike is still very suitable for everyday use - the seating position is not as radical as on other supersports bikes.

Fun in-line four-cylinder

precise quickshifter with blipper

balanced handling

sporty and pleasant ergonomics

comprehensive electronics package

Engine needs to be kept happy

looks confusing with other Kawasakis
