Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2015

The Kawasaki crew had a vision. To build a bike that would cause a stir and push forward into completely new dimensions in terms of performance and technology. This vision has been realised. The 326 Horsepower machine can be ridden by experienced pilots without acute danger to life. The intensity of the acceleration is indescribable. But the perfect overall appearance of the bike with countless high-quality details is also impressive. Compared to normal bikes, the H2 R has weaknesses in throttle response and line precision at high speeds. Overall, the H2 R is the most fascinating bike of all time for the test pilot and can be recommended to petrol junkies with a clear conscience. The H2 R is available for the price of a well-equipped German-made premium estate - only with "a little" more adrenalin.

Build quality

power, torque, acceleration, surprisingly low maintenance in the 300hp league

acceleration - like something from another planet

very good engine modulation

if you are over 185 cm tall, be sure to try it out - it could be tight on your feet

high-quality details at every corner

over 300hp, yet highest quality standards from series production

superb paintwork

excellent brakes

great stability in every situation

Engine reponsiveness at the first few degrees on the throttle

understeer at high speeds

higher maintenance requirements than with normal bikes

the sound is infernal - you can love it, but it can also lead to problems on race tracks

Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 2022

The Italians know exactly how to polish an icon - the V7 Stone also has the characteristic, longitudinally installed V2 engine with the typical sloping cylinders. And with this model in particular, this should appeal not only to true Guzzi fans, but also to all those who are looking for a balanced, uncomplicated motorbike. Although the engine has its typical vibrations, it behaves well, the chassis is more comfortable than sporty, and the seating position is also well suited to the comfortable character. The single-disc brakes at the front even grip surprisingly well and the overall look goes straight to the heart. Only the LCD instruments seem out of place and modern.

modern engine with classic feel

low-maintenance cardan drive

comfortable seating position

good single-disc brake at the front

superb design

LCD fittings not optimally readable, strongly delayed gear display

higher weight
