Yamaha XJR 1300 2012

Yamaha XJR 1300 2012

For frequent pillion rides and relaxed long-distance journeys beyond the 180 km/h limit, the potent Yamaha with its combination of sovereign, smooth engine and long-distance seating is highly recommended.

Visually and functionally coherent

comfortable chassis

soft seat

superior braking system.

"Under-designed" components of the injection system.

Kawasaki Z900 RS SE 2022

Kawasaki Z900 RS SE 2022

Kawasaki has done everything right with the Z900RS SE. The fact that the already very good and extremely charismatic Z900RS has been further upgraded with noble components not only feeds pride of ownership, but also brings the small advantages in the very sporty serious case that bring the summit victory. I would modify the saying "The better is the enemy of the good" for RS SE and RS as follows: "The better is the friend of the good." Whether RS or RS SE, retro at its best.
