Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW M 1000 RR 2021

The price of the M1000RR is only shocking at first glance. In the saddle, you are more shocked by the power and braking performance. The machine is a fully tuned racing bike straight from the BMW factory. Those who don't like to screw but still like to race will be happy with it. A noble and practical superbike!

Smooth overall package

strong brakes

precise chassis

noble details are a joy to behold in the paddock

great responsiveness

rev-happy engine

great torque curve

harmonious transition from load to push mode

Price package not customer-friendly but sales-friendly

footrests could do with more grip on the track

higher and harder seat option desirable

Kawasaki Z H2 SE 2021

What a naked bike! The Kawasaki Z H2 SE has one thing that is absolutely addictive: a supercharged power unit that works like a steam catapult! The 200 hp from exactly one litre of displacement actually seem to unite from idle and tug together on the chain right up to the limiter. Nor can the Z H2 SE be accused of lacking stability; the electronically adjustable chassis does a good job and above all provides sufficient comfort. At almost 240 kilos ready to ride, the Kawa is of course no lightweight and needs to be pushed into the bends, but you can't call it unwieldy either. A slightly wider handlebar would help. The appearance is clearly a matter of taste, but the protruding front offers comparatively good wind protection.

incredibly powerful engine

the electronic chassis offers comfort

independent look with good wind protection for a naked bike

good braking system

High weight

handlebars a little too narrow
