Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z1000 2014
The Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) is a statement against the electronic trend of its time - and that is exactly what makes it special today. Its characterful four-cylinder engine, mechanical directness and uncompromising focus on the essentials strike a chord in a time when many bikes have become rolling computers. Yes, it does without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and perfect wind protection. But it offers an authentic naked bike riding experience, paired with Japanese reliability and reasonable maintenance costs. The Z1000 is not a bike for data sheet junkies or electronics fans - it is a bike for people who still want to make their own decisions when rider. An honest bike with character that continues to inspire even after years and more than fulfils its role as an emotional alternative to the digital modern age.
Yamaha XSR900 2022
The XSR900 in no way wants to hide the fact that it uses the MT-09 as its basis. With a full electronics package, powerful three-cylinder and sporty chassis components, you can be incredibly sporty on this retro bike. Hopefully you'll just find a more comfortable seat in the accessories soon - because it's going to take a lot of stops on the standard seat.
