The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR proves to be an impressive sporty bike that will particularly delight lovers of high-revving four-cylinder engines. With its distinctive sound and excellent braking performance, it offers a riding experience that is convincing both on the road and on the race track. The sporty ergonomics and precise handling make it a good choice for beginners and smaller riders looking for a super sports bike suitable for everyday use.

Overall, the ZX-4RR offers a lot of riding pleasure and is a welcome addition to the small-volume supersports segment.

Yamaha MT-07 2024

In model year 2023, the MT-07 is still a good and universally usable motorbike. Its problem is the tough competition. In a direct comparison, the engine now seems a bit limp and the equipment a bit uninspiring. The good riding position and uncomplicated handling are still good.

Easy to read and beautiful display

Charismatic engine

Sitting position fits very well for different pilots

Motorcycle is not spectacular but rides harmoniously and pleasantly

Good brakes

Lax chassis - too little damping

feeling for gearstick somewhat intransparent

operation not intuitive

lack of traction control

inactive seating position

seat a little too soft on long journeys.
