Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 R 2022
The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025
The Z900SE is a more than capable naked bike that can keep up with many other bikes on the track, including supersports. The early limiter, the upright riding position, the shorter gearing, the ergonomics, the top performance: in view of all its racetrack weaknesses, which turn into strengths on the country road, these are precisely the reasons why the Z900SE is a more than worthy racetrack vehicle. Those chasing the last tenths or thousandths of a lap time, riding almost exclusively on the race track and not at all on the country road, are better served elsewhere, but for all those who occasionally attend a trackday, do not want to afford a separate trackday bike and pursue their motorbike passion mainly on the country road, the Z900SE is very well served. Perhaps this explains once again why the Z900 is one of the best-selling bikes. P.S. Don't forget to lower the tyre pressure on the race track.
