Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CBR500R 2022
The Honda CBR500R impresses as a versatile and reliable bike with good throttle response, smooth engine running and comfortable ergonomics, ideal for touring riders. Its effective brakes and stable suspension ensure confidence and safety. Visually appealing and with a high-quality finish, it offers solid electronics. However, the high weight and less torquey power compromise sporty riding. The limited maximum lean angle limits the sportiness. Overall, it is a reliable bike with comfort and safety, but with limitations when it comes to sporty riding.
Kawasaki Z1000 2020
The Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) is a statement against the electronic trend of its time - and that is exactly what makes it special today. Its characterful four-cylinder engine, mechanical directness and uncompromising focus on the essentials strike a chord in a time when many bikes have become rolling computers. Yes, it does without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and perfect wind protection. But it offers an authentic naked bike riding experience, paired with Japanese reliability and reasonable maintenance costs. The Z1000 is not a bike for data sheet junkies or electronics fans - it is a bike for people who still want to make their own decisions when rider. An honest bike with character that continues to inspire even after years and more than fulfils its role as an emotional alternative to the digital modern age.
