Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z1000 2017

The Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) is a statement against the electronic trend of its time - and that is exactly what makes it special today. Its characterful four-cylinder engine, mechanical directness and uncompromising focus on the essentials strike a chord in a time when many bikes have become rolling computers. Yes, it does without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and perfect wind protection. But it offers an authentic naked bike riding experience, paired with Japanese reliability and reasonable maintenance costs. The Z1000 is not a bike for data sheet junkies or electronics fans - it is a bike for people who still want to make their own decisions when rider. An honest bike with character that continues to inspire even after years and more than fulfils its role as an emotional alternative to the digital modern age.

Harley-Davidson Softail FXDR 114 FXDRS 2018

The Harley-Davidson FXDR 114 wants to assert itself as the top model of the Softail series - which is already manifested by its high price. The lightweight construction ambitions with aluminium rear end, rims and swingarm sound very forward-looking, but at 303 kilos ready to ride, the FXDR 114 fits inconspicuously into the Softail range. The brake system with double discs at the front and the best lean angle among the Softails benefit the sportiness, while the fat 240 rear tyre and the seating position with footrests positioned far forward make the FXDR 114 stand out more as a cruiser. The decisive selling point, however, is probably the cool styling, which makes the FXDR 114 the perfect showpiece.
