Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2022

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2022

A sports tourer of the old school. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX fulfils all the points you would expect from this bike category. Added to this is a comprehensive electronics package that offers everything you could wish for when travelling - and at no extra charge! The fact that the operation is perhaps not quite as intuitive as the competition already manages, is forgiven at the latest when you take a look at the price tag.

silky four-cylinder

comfortable yet sporty ergonomics

wind protection

standard electronics package

lots of stability thanks to full fairing

very accessible.

Engine needs revs

electronics could be more user-friendly

windshield only adjustable with two hands

Yamaha YZF-R125 2020

Yamaha YZF-R125 2020

The Yamaha YZF-R125 in the 2019 version makes journalists' lives difficult. You search and search for a fault, but can't find one - simply frustrating! Because the 15 hp single-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVA) performs excellently and is undoubtedly one of the best power units in the 125cc class. The handling is convincing in everyday life as well as on the racetrack, even if the chassis shows its sporty side on bumps. But we are on a super sports bike, so that is not a serious point of criticism. Maybe I need to ride the R125 for a few weeks to find its Achilles heel after all....

excellent engine

cool looks

sporty chassis

very potent on the racetrack

very good supersport package

unfortunately nothing
