Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 RR 2017

BMW S 1000 RR 2017

The well-balanced universal talent will also be at the forefront of many comparison tests in 2017. It still scores with the outstanding engine and the universal and complete equipment.

On request with complete electronic equipment. All features available in high quality

Strong engine - powerful and easy to control

Comfortable seating position even for taller riders

Good chassis on the road and at trackdays

Brake fade on the racetrack under high load

Ride quality high enough for trackdays but not good enough for racing

Looks greyed out even though it is technically up to date

Kawasaki Z900 2020

Kawasaki Z900 2020

In terms of price-performance, the Kawasaki Z900 is hard to beat at the moment. With the perfectly tuned engine, the high-quality chassis components and the electronics added for 2020, this naked bike offers everything that sporty riders will be looking for. There is really nothing to complain about, even if the option of a quickshifter would have been a nice extra. Apart from that: great shot, Kawasaki!

powerful four-cylinder

great handling

good equipment

aggressive looks

value for money

Menu navigation somewhat tiring

missing quickshifter option
