Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XJR 1300 2016
In the 2015 model year, the Yamaha XJR 1300 represents the last stage of evolution and possibly also the last chance for a really fat air-cooled four-cylinder. Yamaha has had a tradition in this segment for decades, and in recent years it has become cool to use such motorbikes as the basis for caferacer conversions. The XJR 1300 doesn't look artificial, but honest. If you like four-cylinder engines, you've come to the right place. In addition to its cool looks, rich torque and casual riding feel, the bike also offers a lot of practical benefits. Both in the city and on long tours, you have a lot of fun with the motorbike. Unlike the Racer, a few small additional accessories would do it good so that it can show its full potential in front of the cafe.
Honda CB 1000 R 2022
The 1-litre version of the Neo Sport Cafe Racer shows that it doesn't always have to be the golden mean. In all honesty, it has to be said that the largest of all the representatives also feels the most "grown-up". The electronic equipment of the 1000 in the + version leaves almost nothing to be desired and the handling is extremely rider-friendly for this class. Playfully easy cornering with a well-tuned chassis, snappy brakes and low weight seem to be the recipe for success in terms of smoothness. In terms of performance, the CB1000R+ unfortunately has to make concessions. With 145 hp, the Honda is not a brute rocket, but it is all the more controllable for it. And 145 hp with a full tank of 213 kg is more than enough for maximum riding pleasure on country roads!
