Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 2024

The SC82 was already a hit when it was released in 2020 with the aforementioned minor flaws, which Honda has now successfully eliminated in 2022. A big advantage for road and race track. The new Fireblade is once again a top performer for both disciplines and is sure to secure a place at the very top.

Great engine

Good electronics set-up

Top rideability and feedback

Knee angle very narrow, especially for taller riders

Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2025

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
