Kawasaki Z1000 2012
All in all, the new Z1000 is a successful further development of its predecessor. The lack of traction control is more of a marketing problem than a problem for end customers.
Yamaha XSR900 Abarth 2017
Basically, it hardly matters whether I think the Yamaha XSR900 Abarth is good or bad - the first 95 of the 695 units worldwide were sold out within 20 minutes. So there's no need to worry about the remaining 600. Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that the Abarth version looks enormously good with the carbon fairings front and rear, the Akrapovic exhaust and the suede saddle. The low handlebars are not as comfortable as the conventional XSR900, but fit perfectly with this stylish appearance. The engine, chassis and brakes work just like on the normal XSR900 - in other words, extremely sporty and wonderfully rideable.
