Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2022

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. The engine shines with lightness and agility, the seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!

powerful engine

clean response

great but not intrusive sound

stable chassis

high-quality electronics

wonderfully noble overall impression

Brake not 100 per cent satisfactory on the race track

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2009

Ninja fans have no choice but to buy the new 10. It is lighter, stronger, easier to handle and yet easier to ride than any other ZX-10R to date. Even compared to the other Japanese bikes, the Kawa presents itself as superior. Besides the European bikes, emotions, preferences for certain colours and shapes certainly come into play.

Extremely precise traction control

efficient braking system

integrated electronics

positive ABS system

high engine power.

Suboptimal transmission - tight gearshifts.
