Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 990 Super Duke 2009

You can still enter the corner with precision or turn the bike on. You can still correct every radius easily and at will. The Superduke is still more fun than a leather trouser. And you can still take on anyone with it.

High performance device

extreme potential - not fully achievable.

Geometry

suboptimal ride comfort

instrument design.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2009

Ninja fans have no choice but to buy the new 10. It is lighter, stronger, easier to handle and yet easier to ride than any other ZX-10R to date. Even compared to the other Japanese bikes, the Kawa presents itself as superior. Besides the European bikes, emotions, preferences for certain colours and shapes certainly come into play.

Extremely precise traction control

efficient braking system

integrated electronics

positive ABS system

high engine power.

Suboptimal transmission - tight gearshifts.
