Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025

The Z900 SE is not a successful addition to the normal Z900. The refined suspension and the more powerful Brembo brake system make the SE refreshingly sportier and are well worth the extra cost - especially when you factor in the cool look of the Prestige components!

Stable chassis performance

high-quality Öhlins shock

powerful Brembo brake system

comfortable riding position

good quickshifter

practical electronics

coherent overall package

playful display

maximum lean angle limited

the SE version would have deserved sporty tyres - the standard tyres are too conservative

BMW S 1000 R 2021

BMW S 1000 R 2021

It's really impressive how BMW always manages to make good motorbikes even better. The sporty S 1000 R with M package and carbon rims looks a bit threatening at first. But even in 2021, the S 1000 R serves up high-tech and performance in a grandiose, usable dosage. The machine rides precisely, handles well but is not tippy. The engine fires out of the corners, but does not overtax. A damn fast motorbike!

Powerful engine

good brakes

comfortable ergonomics

high-priced but high-performance optional extras

simple operation but still very fast

great all-rounder.

Quickshifter good, but not perfect, sound still a bit intrusive

still with vibrations in handlebars
