Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki did well to rethink and rebuild the Z1000 from the ground up. It was given a dark soul whose roots lie in the (un)good old days, but it seems more genuine and cohesive thanks to its independent development. Kawa did justice to itself and the wishes of its customers to a high degree. All in all, a courageous product for courageous riders.
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2020

The Yamaha MT-09 is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground!
