Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2012

With probably no other motorbike would the test riders have wished to be able to reach into the tuning box at least a little. Because the Ninja ZX-10R is a motorbike that offers an excellent basis for the race track. Unlike the other three Japanese bikes, it is radical, offers competitive top performance compared to BMW and Ducati.

Engine offers powerful peak power

offers ABS and traction point together.

Handling somewhat suboptimal for faster routes

braking performance diminishes over time.

Yamaha's high-tech rocket is still a technological leader in 2016. Radical, polarising and fascinating, it sets powerful lap times. It is closer to the race bikes than the other 1000s. In the meantime, no one grumbles about the front. Without the "M", it is the best choice for those who don't need Öhlins anyway, or the best choice for those who are planning a racetrack conversion anyway and like to install "normal" Öhlins hardware without electric stuff.

Lively handling

high-revving and precisely controllable engine

excellent electronics package

Shift assistant only for upshifting
