Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 636 2013

The Kawa convinces with its good handling and uncompromising reliability. A strong motorbike, but definitely not a bargain.

Sharpened geometry

seating position okay

good handling

uncompromising reliability.

High purchase price.

BMW M 1000 RR 2021

The price of the M1000RR is only shocking at first glance. In the saddle, you are more shocked by the power and braking performance. The machine is a fully tuned racing bike straight from the BMW factory. Those who don't like to screw but still like to race will be happy with it. A noble and practical superbike!

Smooth overall package

strong brakes

precise chassis

noble details are a joy to behold in the paddock

great responsiveness

rev-happy engine

great torque curve

harmonious transition from load to push mode

Price package not customer-friendly but sales-friendly

footrests could do with more grip on the track

higher and harder seat option desirable
