Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia RSV4 RR 2016

Aprilia RSV4 RR 2016

The Aprilia stands out from the crowd with its sonorous V4 sound, sounding more like a two-cylinder than a screaming in-line four. You immediately feel at home on the RSV4 RR and can immediately ride at decent lean angles without having to feel your way around. In terms of handling, it is very pleasant, even though you are sitting quite high up on it. It is a little too compact for tall riders. Compared to its predecessor, it is easier to ride, but at the same time much stronger and faster. It scores points especially on corner entry with great feedback from the front wheel.

Compact and extremely powerful V4 engine

very strong character

stable chassis

independent look

traction control, power modes

A little small for tall riders

very stiff design

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2015

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2015

The ZX-10R was right in the middle during the test. It was not as fast and radical as the R1, Panigale, BMW and Aprilia. But it was also sportier than the Honda and Suzuki. While Honda and Suzuki would need completely new bikes to catch up with the top, Kawasaki would only have to give the ZX-10R a small update. But satisfied ZX-10R riders need not despair. The gap to the top is small enough to catch up with a few accessories. Because the ZX-10R has one decisive advantage. It has been on the market for a long time and there are enough parts available, including the necessary setup information. If you don't want to get involved in any experiments, take a Kawasaki and with a few simple steps you will also be at the top.

Great basis for racing bike

strong engine in the upper rev range

good chassis

Gear ratio too long

engine with little power in the lower rev range

traction control cannot keep up with the systems of the top bikes
