Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2018

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2018

The Ninja 650 firmly stamps its predecessor (Er-6f). The engine has mastered the Euro 4 hurdle well and serves up a very usable 68 hp, the chassis is simply great for this class, and the weight reduction of 18(!) kilos compared to the ER-6f justifies reverent nods.

Transparent chassis for sport

playful and good-natured handling, excellent brakes, sharp looks a la ZX-10R

resilient engine.

Little sound from the series pot

engine shows slight vibrations

Ducati 1199 Panigale 2012

Ducati 1199 Panigale 2012

Since 2012, the 1199 Panigale has been an absolutely trend-setting concept that I believe will follow in the footsteps of the legendary 916.
