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.

The GSX-R 750 is the golden mean in many respects. It offers a level of performance that doesn't overwhelm you on the road, but at the same time gives you a lot of pleasure. On the one hand, it is relatively inexpensive, but on the other hand, it is still fast enough. The GSX-R 750 is a great supersport machine. If you don't value superlatives and just want a good motorbike, go for the GSX-R 750 and use the money you save to treat yourself to race training on the Nordschleife....

Excellent engine response

great controllability

comfortable seating position even for tall riders

reliable technology

perfect transmission.

Unspectacular at the regulars' table

brake pads and lines too lax for racetrack use

long final gear ratio
