Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2021

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2021

A sports tourer of the old school. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX fulfils all the points you would expect from this bike category. Added to this is a comprehensive electronics package that offers everything you could wish for when travelling - and at no extra charge! The fact that the operation is perhaps not quite as intuitive as the competition already manages, is forgiven at the latest when you take a look at the price tag.

silky four-cylinder

comfortable yet sporty ergonomics

wind protection

standard electronics package

lots of stability thanks to full fairing

very accessible.

Engine needs revs

electronics could be more user-friendly

windshield only adjustable with two hands

BMW R 1250 R 2022

BMW R 1250 R 2022

What could be better than getting even more power and torque in an already powerful naked bike! The predecessor, the R 1200 R, with its 125 hp and Newton metres of torque, could already be ridden very sportily, but the enlarged R 1250 R, now with 136 hp and a massive 143 Newton metres, pushes the boxer power to its current peak. The special thing about the R 1250 R, as with its predecessor, is that thanks to the extensive range of accessories it can also convince on tours. The new engine with ShiftCam valve control is not only more powerful but also more refined. The chassis and brakes are also convincing, and the seating position is pleasantly upright, allowing a wide range of riding styles, from sporty push-off to long-distance touring.
