Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z H2 SE 2021
What a naked bike! The Kawasaki Z H2 SE has one thing that is absolutely addictive: a supercharged power unit that works like a steam catapult! The 200 hp from exactly one litre of displacement actually seem to unite from idle and tug together on the chain right up to the limiter. Nor can the Z H2 SE be accused of lacking stability; the electronically adjustable chassis does a good job and above all provides sufficient comfort. At almost 240 kilos ready to ride, the Kawa is of course no lightweight and needs to be pushed into the bends, but you can't call it unwieldy either. A slightly wider handlebar would help. The appearance is clearly a matter of taste, but the protruding front offers comparatively good wind protection.
KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2021
The Super Duke GT definitely focuses on the "sport" in the sport tourer, but it can nevertheless also be used passably in touring mode. From the chassis to the seat, it is clearly on the harder side, but it makes up for this with great ergonomics, plenty of space in the saddle and lush factory equipment. Sporty riders in particular will enjoy the powerful engine and the precise, smooth handling. It may not be suitable for comfort-conscious cruisers, but those who can do without a bit of cosiness and in return enjoy the radical character will have no problem going on long journeys with it. The important points, such as sufficient range, wind protection and payload, are also fulfilled.
