Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 750 2012

Kawasaki Z 750 2012

A good bike at a very good price, especially the upside-down fork is convincing.

improved torque curve

upside-down fork

aggressive engine

low price

high weight

4 hp less than the predecessor

not exactly effortless driving

BMW S 1000 R 2014

BMW S 1000 R 2014

Brutal power, smooth, almost perfect, electronics, it only gets better with the HP4. Now BMW dominates the 1000cc naked bike class after the superbikes.

Sporty chassis

extreme power and performance

very good electronic helpers

terrific price/performance ratio

fast and comfortable on the racetrack and on country roads.

Slightly rough engine running

DDC works well, but still rather on the "hard" side overall

seat relatively high

tempts to overdrive

design a matter of taste.
