Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2021

BMW S 1000 R 2021

It's really impressive how BMW always manages to make good motorbikes even better. The sporty S 1000 R with M package and carbon rims looks a bit threatening at first. But even in 2021, the S 1000 R serves up high-tech and performance in a grandiose, usable dosage. The machine rides precisely, handles well but is not tippy. The engine fires out of the corners, but does not overtax. A damn fast motorbike!

Powerful engine

good brakes

comfortable ergonomics

high-priced but high-performance optional extras

simple operation but still very fast

great all-rounder.

Quickshifter good, but not perfect, sound still a bit intrusive

still with vibrations in handlebars

Kawasaki Z1000SX 2017

Kawasaki Z1000SX 2017

Kawasaki's Z1000SX is a harmonious motorbike. Brakes, engine and chassis are all in good order. The look is a bit aggressive, but the bike is easy and transparent to ride.

Great tuned engine

strong brakes

easy driveability combined with high performance.

Sensitive to tyre choice
