Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2009

Euphoria spread through the long bends. The Triple is a bit more expensive than some Nippon Nakeds with cheap chassis and you can feel it. It remains stable, you can open the throttle hard and you hit the line exactly.

More power

increased torque

reduced weight

agility

greatly improved geometry

precise and fast.

>100kg people might have space problems.

Kawasaki Z1000 2005

The Z1000 engine is a very nice naked bike engine, very powerful and powerful torque. The sound through the 4 pipes is also very fine. As befits a naked bike. For naked bike fans, this is certainly a great bike.

Very powerful engine - lots of power

great handling

fun to ride.

Not really suitable for beginners.
