Heiko Wacker Cruisen remains modern: Kawasaki VN 900
Super sportsman, cruiser, street sweep – variety is trump at Kawa. And of course performance. The GTR 1400, which is confident as "transcontinental super sports enthuses" and have around 190 hp, should be self-confident for the greatest gauge.

The power of glory
At first glance, the GTR looks like a tourer, but in detail the powerful design draws attention to the potent drive, which celebrated its premiere in the ZZR 1400. The exact 1352 cubic centimeter large engine should hardly be left behind the 190 hp of the ZZR. However, he does not provide his strength via chain, but by cardan to the rear wheel. So that may be the touring driver.
In the whole modern, it goes to: The engine accommodated in an aluminum monocoque frame works with variable valve control and the intake air must pass on the way to the cylinders a power-enabling RAM-AIR system – for a tourer a few years ago unthinkable.
An electrically adjustable windscreen, an ABS, a tire pressure control system as well as standard suitcases round off the "transcontinental tourer" – when the journey may start from the coast to the coast, is still just as little as the price.
Just about the block – and then continue

Especially in the range between 80 to 120 km / h, the Versys should prepare a lot of driving pleasure according to the manufacturer – not only on the house line.
Naked street fighters
Who loves it more exciting, should take a look at the new Z 1000 whose optics are determined by the sharp-drawn, square exhaust system. Also interesting will be to how much the engine has rose – so far the four-cylinder already made 127 hp.
Length is running
Also naked – and yet very different – the UN 900 Custom in the market. The depth tail and the 21-inch front wheel aim directly into the heart of the Cruiser friends. Instead of a spoke wheel, the designers developed a thin cast wheel. Central eye-catcher is anyway the tank with his drop-shaped contour.
Racing pure – and nothing for beer books
Consistently sporty, the 07er Ninja – with brand new engine and frame. Kawasaki is unarmewily admitted that the ZX-6R is less value on comfort to score instead on the racetrack. Radially fortified four-piston solid brake saddles in front and all-adjustable spring elements are duty. For the Racer, however, a certain liability is recommended. To ensure the body weight in winter, can therefore be advisable …
