Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XSR125 2025

The XSR125 may look retro, but it is highly modern. After all, the 125cc engine even has variable valves! This makes it possible to achieve decent riding dynamics, as the handling is also very successful in combination with the comparatively low weight. Yet operation is generally very simple and uncomplicated, which is why even novice riders and beginners are not overwhelmed. The price is also okay, although at first glance it seems quite high compared to the power, but is usually even higher among the competition. The successful retro look alone is definitely worth wanting the XSR125!

With the Ninja ZX-10R, the Greens offer a mature overall package that still looks as aggressive as you would expect from a Kawa superbike. The bike offers surprisingly good space for the rider and you feel comfortable in the saddle, but the high footrests make it clear that it is designed to perform on the race track. The revviness of the engine leaves nothing to be desired - except perhaps more discipline in the partial load range. To make the project a success, Kawasaki relies on high-quality ingredients: Showa suspension, Öhlins steering dampers, Brembo brakes with 330 discs and high-quality electronics. The Ninja ZX-10R even cuts a fine figure on the country road thanks to the good electronics and the superior engine - as long as you are able to suffer a little when it comes to the seating position.
