Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2023

Yamaha R1 2023

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. The engine shines with lightness and agility, the seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a successful bike in a competitive price segment. The latest addition from the green brand offers easy handling and riding pleasure at an attractive price. Beginners, returning riders and smart bikers will all enjoy this urban cruiser. In my opinion, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 could achieve cult status.

Handling, despite low ground clearance, an attack the twisties

Engine, good torque

Weight, 167 kg

Gearbox, excellent shifting

Seating position, comfortably neutral Driving licence class A2

Rear-view mirror, stylish but hardly any visibility to the rear tyres, IRC spongy, gives hardly any feedback
