Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB1000R Black Edition 2023

Noble, dignified and incredibly powerful. The CB1000R Black Edition cuts a fine figure both in front of the opera and on a sporty smoke-up on the country road. Even under full load, the power unit exudes pure composure, while the chassis and brake components also cope well with the power and weight. A great all-round naked bike package that conveys Honda quality through and through.

Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid 2024

The saying "The Best Of Both Worlds" has never been truer with any other motorbike than with the Ninja 7 Hybrid. It combines the comfort and ease of use of a commuter bike with the joy of an unreasonable fun bike. You definitely have to get used to this drive concept when riding - it's not a case of just getting on and riding off! Nevertheless, Kawasaki shows that the technology is also possible in motorbike construction, even if there is still room for improvement in certain areas.
