Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW M 1000 RR 2024

BMW M 1000 RR: The perfected supersport icon The BMW M 1000 RR is the quintessence of a supersports bike. It is as sharp as a razor, with a stability and precision that will amaze even the most experienced riders. Direct from the showroom to the race track, without having to spend a single cent on additional modifications - this is pure perfection. Every bend, every braking manoeuvre, every acceleration is a testament to German engineering. On the straights, it pulls away like a jet, and every movement feels as precise as if you were operating a surgical instrument.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2024

With the Ninja ZX-10R, the Greens offer a mature overall package that still looks as aggressive as you would expect from a Kawa superbike. The bike offers surprisingly good space for the rider and you feel comfortable in the saddle, but the high footrests make it clear that it is designed to perform on the race track. The revviness of the engine leaves nothing to be desired - except perhaps more discipline in the partial load range. To make the project a success, Kawasaki relies on high-quality ingredients: Showa suspension, Öhlins steering dampers, Brembo brakes with 330 discs and high-quality electronics. The Ninja ZX-10R even cuts a fine figure on the country road thanks to the good electronics and the superior engine - as long as you are able to suffer a little when it comes to the seating position.

High-quality workmanship

strong components

revvy and powerful engine
