Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 750R 2012

All in all, the tuning here has been really fine-tuned and precise. For your money, you get a really good naked bike racer with an optimal price/performance ratio that is easy to ride and achieves fast lap times. If you then dismantle the parts after a few years, you can sell the vehicle very easily on the second-hand market - the Z750 R is very popular there.

Well-designed appearance

stable chassis

footrests offer perfect support

efficient frame cover.

Clean engine tuning with a power commander was not carried out.

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

The Tiger Sport is a riding machine that can do much more than promised in the brochure. It was sportier than I thought it would be, but at the same time it offered more riding comfort.

Very universal

very agile handling but still easy and safe to drive

high ride comfort

great price / performance ratio

great tuned engine.

The Tiger Sport succeeds in almost all areas. Only in the suspension setup is the compromise, which is what this vehicle is, noticeable in some situations.
