Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2008

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2008

The Kawasaki rides noticeably more manageable than before. The machine lacks absolutely nothing for the racetrack. Steering damper, anti-hopping, chassis, engine - everything is ready. Only not quite as stable as before, the rear feels lighter in the braking zone than before.

Reduced weight

improved handling

more compact layout

Öhlings steering damper

comfort offered

good seating position

immaculate engine tuning.

Stability - unsteadiness in the braking zone

new fork brings disadvantage: tolerences must be maintained over the entire surface of the immersion tube.

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. The engine shines with lightness and agility, the seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!

powerful engine

clean response

great but not intrusive sound

stable chassis

high-quality electronics

wonderfully noble overall impression

Brake not 100 per cent satisfactory on the race track
