BMW M 1000 R: The adrenalin kick on wheels The BMW M 1000 R is the bike for those looking for pure, unfiltered adrenaline. Without fairings and equipped with a brutal four-cylinder engine, this naked bike literally screams for action. Every rider is a challenge, every moment a test for your nerves.

This is the bike that pushes you to the limit and forces you to hang on and just enjoy. If you're looking for the ultimate Kick, the M 1000 R is your perfect companion.

Kawasaki Z900 2022

Kawasaki Z900 2022

The Kawasaki Z900 may not be up to scratch when it comes to modern, lean angle-dependent electronic features, but it's relatively cheap and you shouldn't underestimate the fan base of the good old inline four - the Z900 is one of the cheapest ways to own such a great engine with just under a litre of displacement in a sporty naked bike! The higher weight is noticeable, but not massively annoying, because the handling and stability are quite alright. In terms of "outdated" electronics, the most annoying thing is the missing shift assistant, which is not even available as an option. Overall, however, the Z900 is a great naked bike with a great price-performance ratio.

Light and natural handling with high stability

silky engine with full pull from low revs

high chassis transparency, great feedback

seating position with feel-good factor

absolutely fair price.

Relatively cumbersome operation of the menu

no slope-dependent assistance systems

high weight
