Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2007

Suzuki does not do things by halves and takes first place here. But much more important is the acceleration out of the bend. 185 hp or not. In the past, the GSX-R had an advantage here because of its longer-stroke engine. This has not changed in 2007.

Kawasaki Z1000 2020

The Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) is a statement against the electronic trend of its time - and that is exactly what makes it special today. Its characterful four-cylinder engine, mechanical directness and uncompromising focus on the essentials strike a chord in a time when many bikes have become rolling computers. Yes, it does without modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and perfect wind protection. But it offers an authentic naked bike riding experience, paired with Japanese reliability and reasonable maintenance costs. The Z1000 is not a bike for data sheet junkies or electronics fans - it is a bike for people who still want to make their own decisions when rider. An honest bike with character that continues to inspire even after years and more than fulfils its role as an emotional alternative to the digital modern age.
