Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2023

A sports tourer of the old school. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX fulfils all the points you would expect from this bike category. Added to this is a comprehensive electronics package that offers everything you could wish for when travelling - and at no extra charge! The fact that the operation is perhaps not quite as intuitive as the competition already manages, is forgiven at the latest when you take a look at the price tag.

BMW M 1000 XR: The unreasonable travelling monster The BMW M 1000 XR is the bike that nobody needs but everyone wants. This oversized touring motorbike combines the comfort of a long-distance machine with the power of a superbike. On the motorway, it feels as stable as if it were riding on rails, even at speeds that dwarf the speed limit. But the real miracle is the braking system, which offers a deceleration performance that is otherwise only known from thoroughbred racing machines. When you make yourself small and open up the throttle, the M 1000 XR becomes a roaring beast that leaves you with a wide grin.
