Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1300 R 2016

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Kawasaki Z H2 2020

The fascinating power unit of the Kawasaki not only inspires as a motif for quartet cards or at the regulars' table. The engine is made for practical use. In the saddle of the bike, you can enjoy the thrust in every situation. Commands from the throttle are implemented directly, intensively but also controllably. However, the bike is not an athletic sportsman but a beefy naked bike. It always scores when sovereignty and power are required.

Incomparable engine

full power

easy to control power unit

pleasant seating position

high riding comfort for a naked bike

quiet but charismatic sound

stable and transparent handling

despite the extravagant drive, a motorbike that can be ridden carefree in everyday life.

Quickshifter OK

but makes interventions that take too long

suspension strut becomes a bit spongy during sporty riding

the exclusive motorbike deserved exclusive components all round
