Pros and Cons in comparison
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.

The big Vmax from Yamaha is a unique bike. This applies to the technical side, with the largest V4 engine in a bike of all time, as well as to the emotional side of riding a Vmax. Few bikes can offer such brute grunt in every riding situation, and even fewer of them are cruisers. Although its stubborn turning behaviour detracts from the riding pleasure, the seating position is quite cramped and the sound could be more indicative of the massive displacement, the propulsion is addictive. The Vmax 1700 is definitely a niche product, but also an absolutely awe-inspiring, unique bike.
