Honda CBR600RR 2024

Honda CBR600RR 2024

The Honda CBR600RR is a sporty bike with impressive riding pleasure and precise handling. The well-adjusted suspension, powerful brakes and reliable quickshifter ensure an excellent riding experience, especially on winding roads. The comfortable seating position and the modern display also contribute to the positive overall impression. However, there are also some weaknesses: The heat generated by the under-seat exhaust can be uncomfortable in city traffic and when travelling at slow speeds, and the engine's power at low revs leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, the soft suspension can reach its limits on the race track. Overall, the CBR600RR is an excellent bike for sporty riders who are willing to make these compromises.

Excellent riding pleasure and precise handling

Powerful and easy to modulate brakes

Reliable quickshifter

Comfortable, sporty riding position

Modern display and high-quality controls

Underseat exhaust generates a lot of heat when driving slowly

Lack of torque and power at low revs

Soft suspension can be disadvantageous on the race track

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2024

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R impresses with a powerful 636 cubic centimetres engine and dynamic handling, making it a thoroughly potent and sportily tuned machine. The well-functioning quickshifter and clear display contribute to a positive riding experience. However, the aggressive riding position significantly compromises comfort and the lack of a modern ride-by-wire system prevents the use of a blipper - making the ZX-6R look outdated compared to competitor models. Overall, it is an excellent choice for riders with sporting ambitions, but offers room for improvement in terms of comfort and modern features.
