Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki did well to rethink and rebuild the Z1000 from the ground up. It was given a dark soul whose roots lie in the (un)good old days, but it seems more genuine and cohesive thanks to its independent development. Kawa did justice to itself and the wishes of its customers to a high degree. All in all, a courageous product for courageous riders.

Relatively much power

powerful appearance

much comfort

optimal chassis

acceptable price.

Uncontrollable instrument unit

Honda NC750X DCT 2025

Honda NC750X DCT 2025

The Honda NC750X retains its talents in terms of suitability for everyday use, practical details, accessibility and low fuel consumption even in the 2025 model year. The unique DCT dual-clutch transmission is even better because it is more harmoniously setup. A new aspect is now sportiness, which the engine and transmission unit and the agile handling with a low centre of gravity already made possible before, but is now taken to a new level thanks to the new, more stable double disc brakes at the front. Due to its distinct touring suitability, it is not surprising that the NC750X sells so well despite, or probably even because of, its 13-year existence. If you can afford it, you should definitely invest in the DCT dual clutch - this is what makes the NC750X truly unique!
