Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2021

A sports tourer of the old school. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX fulfils all the points you would expect from this bike category. Added to this is a comprehensive electronics package that offers everything you could wish for when travelling - and at no extra charge! The fact that the operation is perhaps not quite as intuitive as the competition already manages, is forgiven at the latest when you take a look at the price tag.

silky four-cylinder

comfortable yet sporty ergonomics

wind protection

standard electronics package

lots of stability thanks to full fairing

very accessible.

Engine needs revs

electronics could be more user-friendly

windshield only adjustable with two hands

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2018

Kawasaki turns the H2 into a fascinating sports tourer. The H2 SX is a new motorbike and, apart from the supercharger and the striking front end, has virtually nothing in common with the fearsome H2 and H2 R. It offers great comfort and shines with the familiar and universal virtues of a sports tourer. It offers great comfort and shines with the familiar and universal virtues of a sports tourer. On top of that, you enjoy breathtaking acceleration.

Fascinating power unit with high torque and strong pull with great responsiveness

great brakes and very stable in the braking zone

pleasant travelling comfort even at high speeds

high-quality driving assistance systems

12000km service interval.

Heating handle control a bit fiddly

electronic chassis would be practical and would fit the universal character very well
