Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2021

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2021

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

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 2022

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 2022

Like its predecessor, the Aprilia Tuono V4 is a naked bike and not an explicit touring machine. However, the technicians from Noale have very cleverly raised the handlebars compared to the Factory version, fitted a more comfortable saddle and attached a larger windshield. This means that the Tuono V4 still looks really smart, but can actually go on bigger tours than its extremely sporty sister. The suspension of the normal Tuono V4 has to do without electronic adjustability (which would make perfect sense on a touring machine), but the Sachs suspension elements are fully adjustable. Handling, on the other hand, is wonderfully sporty thanks to the stable chassis, and the brakes can be applied firmly without appearing too aggressive. There is no lack of electronic helpers, while the standard cruise control emphasises the touring character, wheelie and launch control make it clear that the "Tourono V4" also wants to let it rip!

Powerful yet refined V4 powerplant
