Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 R 2020

BMW F 900 R 2020

The BMW F 900 R offers easy-to-use cornering fun, enormously high stability, an active yet comfortable riding position and a smooth but also unemotional engine. Those who like it fast and twisty will be happy with it. The possibilities for configuration are almost endless but of course not free of charge.

easy handling, high stability

chassis with fine response

well-behaved engine

brakes without blame

active yet bearable seating position

infinitely long list of accessories.

Small tank (13l)

Good engine

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2024

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R impresses with a powerful 636 cubic centimetres engine and dynamic handling, making it a thoroughly potent and sportily tuned machine. The well-functioning quickshifter and clear display contribute to a positive riding experience. However, the aggressive riding position significantly compromises comfort and the lack of a modern ride-by-wire system prevents the use of a blipper - making the ZX-6R look outdated compared to competitor models. Overall, it is an excellent choice for riders with sporting ambitions, but offers room for improvement in terms of comfort and modern features.

Powerful 636cc engine with plenty of grunt and power

well-functioning quickshifter at high rpm

good handling and pleasant ride feel

clear and easy-to-read display

sporty suspension

reliable brakes

Missing Ride-by-Wire system - therefore no blipper

aggressive riding position with acute knee angle and handlebar ends turned inwards

lack of comfort for longer rides

somewhat spartan display compared to the competition
