Kawasaki Z1000 R 2020

Kawasaki Z1000 R 2020

Of course, on paper the Z1000R is inferior to current Powernakeds and in a classic points evaluation it also loses to the simply perfect Z900. BUT it still exudes pure fascination. Not everyone will like it, but some will adore it. A truly masculine man's bike with a very superior engine and a chassis from the golden era of naked bikes. The Z1000R is still a true naked bike from Supersport Gene - with all its advantages and disadvantages.

Powerful and powerful naked bike engine. Nothing here seems contrived or high-bred - pure power

high-quality and superior chassis - stable, precise and full. Not a handling rocket - Nevertheless, this is among the advantages. Real nakedbike feeling without supersport hecticness

Little steering angle

shift assistant missing

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R SE 2020

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R SE 2020

The 2018 model year Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R SE is a motorbike for financially well-endowed motorbike connoisseurs who don't have much to do with chassis set-up, especially on the Nordschleife. The machine is mature, inspires confidence, rides reliably and is extremely fast. You can and must trust the electronic chassis without hesitation. Then riding the spooky chassis is a pleasure.

In the saddle, there is great confidence in a well-functioning package

Electronic chassis offers surprisingly great ride comfort even during brisk laps on the Nordschleife

Very good components at all corners and ends

Geometry, chassis and steering dampers simply fit really well

Powerful and rev-happy in the upper rev range

Long gearing with little pressure in the rev range requires more gear changes than one likes to make in the saddle of a 1000

information on the display is simply not large enough in hectic situations

overall impression appears high-quality but is no longer up-to-date.
