Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2012

Yamaha R1 2012

All in all, the R1 is given the thankless role of the comfortable, easy-to-ride sports bike in the 2012 model year. From a pragmatic point of view, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but try explaining that to your mates at the pub table.

Pleasant vibration level

strong engine

precise transmission

high-quality impression

good traction control.

High weight

suspension elements tuned a little too soft

relatively weak braking system.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2006

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2006

Leading in engine power and a quantum leap in driveability compared to the previous model make it a real contender for victory.

Great gearbox

strong engine

overwhelming power

chassis

Öhnling's steering damper

handling

anti-hopping clutch

good workmanship.

Small pilots sit a little too low -> difficulty keeping the weight over the tank when accelerating
