Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX 2025

The standard version of the Ninja 1100SX also benefits from the most important upgrades for 2025: the more practical engine, the revised traction control and the changed gear ratio make the Ninja fit for the future. Minor weaknesses such as the high fuel consumption and low payload diminish the overall impression somewhat. Yet the Ninja 1100SX SE remains an excellent sporting motorcycle for riders looking for comfort and dynamics in equal measure.

Four-cylinder suitable for everyday use and yet fun to ride

high stability, solid workmanship

Kawasaki Z900 2019

Kawasaki Z900 2019

Fortunately, the new Kawasaki Z900 has lost none of its character through the use of electronics. It is and remains a playful mid-range naked bike, which at the same time masters the brisk pace on the country road magnificently. The riding pleasure and suitability for everyday use are high, the now installed riding aids offer a plus in safety. Your opponents will have a really hard time from now on.

Light and natural handling with high stability

Silky engine with full pull from mid revs

High chassis transparency, great feedback

Sitting position with feel-good factor

Fair price

TFT display mounted too low

Cumbersome menu operation
