Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2016

Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2016

With its roaring two-cylinder and heavenly looks, it still steals the show from the other bikes in the paddock when unloaded. The electronics package seems perfect, but the chassis is a little too radical. The V2 will thrill fans but could overtax rookies in the saddle.

Great electronics package

great shift assistant

looks to die for

fast as hell in expert hands

Exhausting on corner exit

narrow rev band

strong heat radiation to the rear end

Kawasaki Z900 2021

Kawasaki Z900 2021

In terms of price-performance, the Kawasaki Z900 is hard to beat at the moment. With the perfectly tuned engine, the high-quality chassis components and the electronics added for 2020, this naked bike offers everything that sporty riders will be looking for. There is really nothing to complain about, except for the lack of a quickshifter option.

powerful four-cylinder

intuitive handling

good equipment

aggressive looks

value for money

No quickshifter option
