Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XJ6 2012

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki did well to rethink and rebuild the Z1000 from the ground up. It was given a dark soul whose roots lie in the (un)good old days, but it seems more genuine and cohesive thanks to its independent development. Kawa did justice to itself and the wishes of its customers to a high degree. All in all, a courageous product for courageous riders.

Relatively much power

powerful appearance

much comfort

optimal chassis

acceptable price.

Uncontrollable instrument unit

partial manual force present.
