Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2015

Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2015

The Kawasaki crew had a vision. To build a motorbike that creates excitement and pushes into completely new dimensions in terms of performance and technology. This vision has succeeded. The 326 hp machine can be piloted by experienced riders without acute danger to their lives. The intensity of the acceleration is indescribable. But the perfect overall appearance of the motorbike with countless high-quality details is also thrilling. Compared to normal motorbikes, the H2 R has its weaknesses in throttle response and line precision at high speeds. All in all, the H2 R is the most fascinating motorbike of all time for the test pilot and can be recommended to petrol junkies with a clear conscience. The H2 R is available for the price of a well-equipped German-made premium estate - only with "a little" more adrenaline.

Quality of workmanship

Power, torque, traction, surprisingly low maintenance requirements in the 300 hp league

Acceleration - as if from another star

Engine control is basically very good

If you are taller than 185 cm, be sure to try it out - it could be tight for your feet

High-quality details in all corners

Over 300 hp, but still the highest quality standards from series production

Superb paintwork

Excellent brakes

Great stability in every situation.

Engine response at the first few degrees of throttle

Understeer at high speeds

Higher maintenance than normal bikes

The sound is infernal - you can love it, but it can also cause problems on race tracks.

Aprilia RS 457 2024

Aprilia RS 457 2024

The Aprilia RS 457 presents itself as an impressive bike in the A2 category, with its harmonious combination of powerful engine, sporty riding dynamics and appealing design. The engine delivers dynamic power and the suspension offers a sporty and precise riding experience. The ergonomics and sound also contribute to a positive overall impression. However, there are weaknesses in the brakes, particularly in terms of modulation and the behaviour of the ABS system at the limit.
