Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2014

BMW S 1000 R 2014

Brutal power, smooth, almost perfect, electronics, it only gets better with the HP4. Now BMW dominates the 1000cc naked bike class after the superbikes.

Sporty chassis

extreme power and performance

very good electronic helpers

terrific price/performance ratio

fast and comfortable on the racetrack and on country roads.

Slightly rough engine running

DDC works well, but still rather on the "hard" side overall

seat relatively high

tempts to overdrive

design a matter of taste.

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

All in all, the new Z1000 is a successful further development of its predecessor. The lack of traction control is more of a marketing problem than a problem for end customers.

Powerful engine

rich sound

unique design

No traction control

nervous chassis
