Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2020

Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2020

The Kawasaki crew had a vision. To build a bike that would cause a stir and push forward into completely new dimensions in terms of performance and technology. This vision has been realised. The 326 Horsepower machine can be ridden by experienced pilots without acute danger to life. The intensity of the acceleration is indescribable. But the perfect overall appearance of the bike with countless high-quality details is also impressive. Compared to normal bikes, the H2 R has weaknesses in throttle response and line precision at high speeds. Overall, the H2 R is the most fascinating bike of all time for the test pilot and can be recommended to petrol junkies with a clear conscience. The H2 R is available for the price of a well-equipped German-made premium estate - only with "a little" more adrenalin.

Build quality

power, torque, acceleration, surprisingly low maintenance in the 300hp league

acceleration - like something from another planet

very good engine modulation

if you are over 185 cm tall, be sure to try it out - it could be tight on your feet

high-quality details at every corner

over 300hp, yet highest quality standards from series production

superb paintwork

excellent brakes

great stability in every situation

Engine reponsiveness at the first few degrees on the throttle

understeer at high speeds

higher maintenance requirements than with normal bikes

the sound is infernal - you can love it, but it can also lead to problems on race tracks

Yamaha MT-09 2022

Yamaha MT-09 2022

Yes, Yamaha has produced a really leiwandes bike. All the criticisms of its predecessor have been successfully revised without neutering the wild and playful nature of the MT-09. The fourth generation is more mature, more precise and more polished, rides more neutrally and is more stable without losing its light-footedness. A marvellous bike that currently offers an almost unbeatable price-performance ratio thanks to many detail improvements and has now even become really pretty. The Yamaha dealers won't be able to save themselves from orders after test rides. Let's hope that availability is guaranteed, because the new MT-09 is the definition of the word "direct hit"!

powerful acceleration in every situation / potent engine

aggressive but not too loud sound

improved ergonomics for more feedback and confidence

very good brakes

lavish basic options

precise chassis with good everyday tuning

nice display, good operation

extremely good price-performance ratio

no windscreen

fiddly indicator function
