Dans l'ensemble, la R1 de l'année modèle 2012 se voit attribuer le rôle ingrat de moto sportive confortable et facile à conduire. D'un point de vue pragmatique, ce n'est pas forcément une mauvaise chose, mais essayez de le faire comprendre à vos amis au bistrot.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2015

Lors du test, la ZX-10R se situait exactement au milieu. Elle n'était pas aussi rapide et radicale que la R1, la Panigale, la BMW et l'Aprilia. Mais elle était aussi plus sportive que la Honda et la Suzuki. Alors que chez Honda et Suzuki, il faudrait des motos entièrement neuves pour se hisser au niveau des leaders, Kawasaki n'aurait qu'à apporter une petite mise à jour à la ZX-10R. Mais les pilotes de ZX-10R satisfaits ne doivent pas désespérer. L'écart avec le peloton de tête est suffisamment faible pour qu'ils puissent le rattraper avec quelques accessoires. Car le ZX-10R a un avantage décisif. Elle est déjà sur le marché depuis longtemps et il y a suffisamment de pièces disponibles avec les informations de réglage nécessaires. Celui qui ne veut pas se lancer dans des expériences peut prendre une Kawasaki et, en quelques manipulations, il sera également en tête.
