Kawasaki Z900 2018

In the hotly contested naked bike segment, the Z900 plays right at the front. Above all, its engine is absolutely terrific, runs incredibly silky and offers rich power in all rev regions - as befits a Japanese four-cylinder. Its sporty, aggressive appearance matches this. It does without electronic bells and whistles, but still conveys a lot of confidence when chasing corners, braking and accelerating out of them. The low seat is especially beneficial for smaller riders, but taller riders might miss a flatter knee angle on long distances. The low weight and compactness make the Z900 particularly agile and easy to handle. A sporting cannon that is also extremely appealing in terms of price
Yamaha MT-09 2016

Yamahi MT-09 za prihajajočo sezono ni bilo treba na novo izumljati - že pred skoraj štirimi leti je bila izjemno dobro izdelana. Namesto tega so se Japonci osredotočili na fino prilagoditev in dodajanje praktičnih, sodobnih trikov, kot sta nadzor vleke in samodejno prestavljanje. Zaradi standarda Euro4 pa je bilo upravljanje motorja ponovno spremenjeno in v standardnem načinu ponuja izrazito zmogljivo, a dobro nadzorovano podajanje moči; eksplozije moči prve generacije zdaj ne ponuja več niti ostrejši način A. Največja sprememba, prepoznavna že na prvi pogled, je po mojem mnenju izjemno uspešen dizajn z agresivnejšim sprednjim delom in na novo oblikovanim zadkom. V celoti gledano, še bolj eleganten naked bike, ki je bil očitno ustvarjen za užitek v vožnji z motorjem.
