Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2017

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2017

The ZX-10R Ninja has a certain majesty, at the first rollout it seems very stable, you have to force it into the radius a little. After a few laps, however, this effect is transformed into an incredible precision that allows a pinpoint line. The engine has now really become noticeably stronger and makes the Kawa an enormously good overall package that can please not only die-hard Kawasaki fans. The traction control on the Kawa is particularly positive and regulates very sensitively. You can even adjust the engine brake - so it certainly doesn't lack for electronic features. The ZX-10R is the only superbike that is already Euro4-compliant in 2016!

great chassis geometry

high-quality chassis components

very good brakes

lots of electronics on board

Cockpit not quite optimal readable

Kawasaki Z900 70kW 2018

Kawasaki Z900 70kW 2018

The Z900 is a top entry-level motorbike. Very smooth engine, great brakes and lots of adjustment options on the chassis and levers. The acceleration may be too good for speed junkies, but it's just right for learning. The lack of electronic gimmicks, riding modes and traction control doesn't bother either, but makes the Z900 a good bike to learn the basics of two-wheeled locomotion. A high-quality purist, a real motorbike, even with only 48 hp!

Smooth engine with punch at approx. 6000 rpm

Finely controllable brakes

Smooth running of the engine super for city traffic

Typical 4-cylinder shriek, but very restrained at low revs

Stable at motorway speeds

Good handling

Quite small for tall people

rather high weight of 210 kg

acceleration with 48 hp rather poor due to weight
