Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2021

Kawasaki offers a mature overall package with the Ninja ZX-10R in the 2021 model year, which with the new front end also really looks like 2021. The bike offers surprisingly good space for the rider and you feel comfortable in the saddle. The rev-happy engine leaves nothing to be desired - except perhaps more discipline in the part-load range. To make the project a success, Kawasaki relies on high-quality ingredients: Showa suspension, Öhlins steering dampers, Brembo brakes with 330 discs and high-quality electronics. Thanks to the good electronics and the superior engine, the Ninja ZX-10R even cuts quite a figure on country roads - as long as you are willing to suffer a little in terms of seating position due to the concept.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2023

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2023

Ducati has managed to improve the performance of the Streetfighter V4 S with specific changes. Even though the performance data have not changed, the rideability has been decisively improved. The big changes could not be expected on a bike that was already performing at the highest level - there is hardly anything to complain about on the current hyper-naked bikes anyway. When it comes to the sound, the engineers have overshot the mark. Regardless of whether the bike is at idle or in driving mode, the Streetfighter V4 S is simply too loud. Especially on fast tracks, the wind pressure pushes the helmet against the nose and tenses the neck muscles enormously, but that's the price you have to pay if you want to ride a naked bike, just as you have to reckon with darkness at night!

Powerful V4 engine with lots of character

sporty and stable handling

smooth quickshifter

pleasant ergonomics

well-functioning and adjustable driving aids

clear display

expensive

simply too loud
