Honda CB1000R Black Edition 2023

Honda CB1000R Black Edition 2023

Noble, dignified and incredibly powerful. The CB1000R Black Edition cuts a fine figure both in front of the opera and on a sporty smoke-up on the country road. Even under full load, the power unit exudes pure composure, while the chassis and brake components also cope well with the power and weight. A great all-round naked bike package that conveys Honda quality through and through.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2023

With the Ninja ZX-10R, the Greens offer a mature overall package that still looks as aggressive as you would expect from a Kawa superbike. The bike offers surprisingly good space for the rider and you feel comfortable in the saddle, but the high footrests make it clear that it is designed to perform on the race track. The revviness of the engine leaves nothing to be desired - except perhaps more discipline in the partial 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. The Ninja ZX-10R even cuts a fine figure on the country road thanks to the good electronics and the superior engine - as long as you are able to suffer a little when it comes to the seating position.
