Kawasaki Z1000 R 2017

Of course, on paper the Z1000R is inferior to current Powernakeds and in a classic points evaluation it also loses to the simply perfect Z900. BUT it still exudes pure fascination. Not everyone will like it, but some will adore it. A truly masculine man's bike with a very superior engine and a chassis from the golden era of naked bikes. The Z1000R is still a true naked bike from Supersport Gene - with all its advantages and disadvantages.

Powerful and powerful naked bike engine. Nothing here seems contrived or high-bred - pure power

high-quality and superior chassis - stable, precise and full. Not a handling rocket - Nevertheless, this is among the advantages. Real nakedbike feeling without supersport hecticness

Little steering angle

shift assistant missing

Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning gives enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The suspension components clearly attempt a balancing act between everyday life and sportiness, which is why unrest can quickly be found in the vehicle when approaching the cornering at a brisk pace. Somehow, however, this imperfection gives the Honda a lot of character and gives the rider the feeling of having to actively integrate himself into the action. For country road racers with a daily commute, a real recommendation!

Rev-happy engine

reasonable power

sporty seating position

wide handlebars

very rideable motorbike

comfortable for everyday use

pretty display.

Weakness in the chassis can be seen as a disadvantage

not as much power from the hairpin as two-cylinder competition
