Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Monster 796 2010

Ducati Monster 796 2010

The monster doesn't really stand a chance against nerds. But the bella donnas are brought out with passion. After "Colour Therapy", which included 10 classic Italian motorbike colours, comes "Logomania" in 2010, with which Ducati pays homage to its own history with classic designs.

Insane, economical fuel consumption

emotionalised driving experience

ABS

convertibility.

Inferior in performance to the competition from Honda.

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

All in all, the new Z1000 is a successful further development of its predecessor. The lack of traction control is more of a marketing problem than a problem for end customers.

Powerful engine

rich sound

unique design

No traction control

nervous chassis
