Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha FZ-8N 2010

Yamaha FZ-8N 2010

Freely following the philosophical-optimistic view that the glass is not half empty but half full, at Yamaha you don't have to decide AGAINST two, but FOR one. In any case, the FZ8 has enough potential to become the golden mean in the circle of free-body bikes.

Sporty engine performance

beefy appearance

pleasant driving feel

relatively fast.

Exhaust canister convinces optically negative.

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
