Kawasaki Ninja 650 2022

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2022

Save the sport tourer! With the Ninja 650, Kawasaki has created an exemplary representative of this class and (hopefully) solved the problem of the new generation. The stable chassis and the decent two-cylinder will delight beginners and advanced riders alike, even at a brisker pace. The front brake is a little too well intentioned, lacking a transparent pressure point despite basically good braking performance. Another plus is the TFT display, which we don't find in the competition at the moment, as well as the grown-up look, which is strongly oriented towards the larger Ninja models.

one of the last of its kind

BMW S 1000 RR 2016

BMW S 1000 RR 2016

The S 1000 RR is the universal talent among the superbikes - you sit on it and feel comfortable straight away. Although it seems a bit nervous in comparison in terms of chassis and stability. However, it converts this into pleasantly easy handling and impresses with its enormous engine power. The front wheel is indeed particularly light and has to be calmed by the steering damper. An incredibly sporty and at the same time comfortable feature is the shift assistant for upshifting and downshifting - this brings calm to the chassis and you can fully concentrate on driving.

Very powerful engine

comfortable seating position

excellent shift assistant

somewhat sluggish in curves
