Kawasaki Z1000SX 2014

Kawasaki Z1000SX 2014

The Z 1000 SX is a great middle ground, indeed the optimal intersection between sport and touring motorbike. There are not many bikes that manage this so well.

Confident, powerful engine

fairing suitable for touring

sporty layout

good traction control

surprisingly versatile

well-integrated pannier system.

Unconventional handling in tight corners

windshield could be higher.

Triumph Tiger Explorer 2013

Triumph Tiger Explorer 2013

The three-cylinder lacks a little pressure from the rev range, but it revs and shrieks out of the top like a three-headed hellhound. The XC version in particular is a real man's bike with a lot of power and mass.

Powerful and lively engine

comfortable chassis

high weight
