Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2021

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2021

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.

silky four-cylinder

comfortable yet sporty ergonomics

wind protection

standard electronics package

lots of stability thanks to full fairing

very accessible.

Engine needs revs

electronics could be more user-friendly

windshield only adjustable with two hands

Yamaha R1 2019

Yamaha R1 2019

The 2020 R1 model - already available from September - is an evolutionary step that will benefit both the trackday racer and the Yamaha SBK team. The amateur is most likely to benefit from the truly perfect electronics and will also appreciate a little extra power.

powerful engine

clean response

in the right hands a very fast track bike

perfectly tuned electronics

ABS system not 100 per cent satisfactory
