Kawasaki Z1000 2009
Kawasaki je dobro premislil in od začetka prenovil model Z1000. Dobil je temno dušo, katere korenine segajo v (ne)dobre stare čase, vendar je zaradi neodvisnega razvoja videti bolj pristen in skladen. Kawa je sebi in željam svojih kupcev v veliki meri izkazala pravičnost. Na splošno gre za pogumen izdelek za pogumne voznike.
Yamaha MT-09 2017
In conclusion, after several stops throughout the season, I can look back on a great result. Both in terms of performance and looks, our MT-09 is perfect. The suspension was probably our most important issue. Where before there was clearly (too much) movement in the rear in fast corners, now it is ironed over without batting an eyelid. The STX 46 shock absorber is quite stiff in its basic configuration, but also manages to get through everyday life without being uncomfortable. Thanks to generous adjustment options, there is still room for individual preferences and uses. The function of the NIX 30 cartridge is also impressive. The response behaviour - especially under load - has improved significantly. There is now also much more reserve available when braking. Where before the fork went into block and the ABS triggered when braking hard with the original set-up, now the brakes simply continue to work effectively. In addition, the MT-09 now follows the intended line in the curve radius as if by itself - a pure pleasure. The sight and sound of the Akrapovic complete system are also pure joy, and the fact that it produces a few more horsepower is felt effectively, especially in the upper third of the rev range. The front wheel shoots even more willingly into the gallery in 2nd and 3rd gear.
