Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2011

Even a Super Duke is in a tight spot when the bends are not too sharp and the KTM can make full use of its radical handling and its unrivalled ability to correct the radius on naked bikes. The Speed Triple is more harmonious, patient and predictable. The Duke has to be beaten, the Triple can also be stroked.

Controlled chassis

hard sound

stable.

Rough gearing sometimes disturbs the idyll between man and machine.

Kawasaki Z1000 2011

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.

Powerful engine

rich sound

unique design

No traction control

nervous chassis
