The Honda CB 1000 is around 20 years old, but in terms of workmanship and attention to detail, it is almost unrivaled among Japanese naked bikes to this day. As a used one, it is traded between 2300 and 3500 euros and is still worth the money.

The Honda Hornet 900 is not particularly pretty and rather poor in detail, for naked bike fans who just want to ride and attach great importance to reliability, but it is exactly the right thing. It combines directional stability with agile handling and high steering precision. The used Hornet range is between 2300 and 4500 euros.

With the Z 1000, Kawasaki has an iron in the fire that perfectly keeps memories of the good old bad boys days alive. Modern and proven technology meets fresh design. b 3500 euros there are serious offers with many kilometers; And a well-groomed cream cake of the first generation does not have to cost more than 5000 euros.

The Kawasaki ZZR 1200 has the image of the perfect all-rounder with the best kilometer eater qualities. With this bike you can look forward to the rich draft, the great handling, the extremely comfortable seat position and the perfect wind and weather protection. Used copies are available from 3200 euros, and even for real treasures, you never have to invest more than 5000 euros.

With the Suzuki Bandit 1200 S you get a lot of motorcycle for relatively little money: A lot of pressure from the air / oil-cooled fine-rib engine, a handy chassis, plenty of space for the driver and pillion passenger, who can also play in the XL league – and an appetizing appearance. The 1200 second-hand prices start at almost 2000 euros for kilometer kings; For real cream slices from the last year of construction, 4000 to 4500 euros are sometimes required.

The V-twin-cylinder engine of the Suzuki SV 1000 S is beyond any doubt and, with its sporty talents, gives the driver a very wide permanent grin. The chassis is hardly inferior to this and allows a fresh, brisk pace. As a used vehicle, the SV 1000 S is a real insider tip. Very good used cars now usually cost between 3500 and 4500 euros.

Yamaha

7/8
The Yamaha BT 1100 usually does its job below 3000 revolutions – and in a casual and relaxed way. The combination of the air-cooled two-valve oldie, the low-maintenance cardan and the comfortable seating position results in an all-round feel-good package. The used ones start at just under 3000 euros, much more than 4500 euros are not paid even for lovingly cared for first-hand treasures.

A particularly sensitive hashand is required for the Yamaha FZ1. Some call it low torque, for others it’s just a radical, uncompromising performance characteristic. The FZ1 polarizes. Good used ones are available from 5500 euros – and worth considering for friends of radical solutions.

Second-hand advice on big bikes from Japan
Heavy weight does not preclude mobility

No other nation has cultivated the combination of strength and bulk like Japan. Sumo wrestlers are national heroes and regularly prove to connoisseurs that high weight and impressive mobility do not have to be mutually exclusive. So it’s no wonder that there are also extremely agile boom among the motorized national symbols.

The fact that Japanese engineers have mastered the topic of diet perfectly is always evident when a new super sports car sees the light of day in the motorcycle world. The white coats said goodbye to the absolute maddenedness some time ago, and there is no longer a fight for every gram, because one has obviously understood that driving stability can also have something to do with correctly placed mass.

Lively Moppel with a right to exist

In completely different categories, the weight issue has never played the main role for the Asian motorcycle makers: with the large-volume naked bikes, their more or less lightly clad sister models and also with the big touring athletes. Lots of cubic capacity, good performance, a clientele that is keen on comfort and a confident appearance as well as a range of uses that is rarely associated with the term “last groove” ensure that the lively Moppel still have their raison d’etre.

And that in a noteworthy number, because machines such as a Suzuki Bandit 1200 or Kawasaki Z 1000 are confidently known as new machine bestsellers and are accordingly often to be found as used machines. In the same class, however, there are also formidable flops such as a Suzuki SV 1000 S, the Kawasaki ZZR 1200 or the still new Yamaha FZ1. Unrecognized as new machines, they are real insider tips as used machines, because the rather subdued demand ensures attractive prices.

Rebuilding madness is not a bad thing per se

In addition to the mostly rock-solid technology, because it is rarely or not at all exhausted, there is another good reason to take a closer look at the strong Japanese as a second-hand buyer: Their previous owners are almost always seasoned motorcycle connoisseurs who are accordingly species-appropriate and handled the technology with care.

Important restriction: This applies to the new buyers at the time. Once a Nippon Moppel has landed in the second or even third hand, its owners succumb all too easily to the renovation craze – keyword “Streetfighter”. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing per se, but a sumo wrestler in a muscle shirt and Bermuda shorts also loses some of its dignity.

Honda CB 1000


Second-hand advice: Japanese big bikes


fact

The Honda CB 1000.

A motorcycle that is around 20 years old as an introduction to a current history of used purchases? Yes – and that in a very targeted manner and with a clear conscience. Because what Honda presented in autumn 1992 is almost unmatched among Japanese naked bikes in terms of workmanship and attention to detail. The CB 1000, internal SC30 and for fans only the “Big One”, convinces with beautiful frame welds, with numerous brushed aluminum parts, with forged fork bridges and footrests, a top paintwork and many nice equipment details. Looking good is one thing, driving well is another.

Honda CB 1000 very good for tall people

But even here the fat scores and scurries surprisingly agile despite being overweight and a long wheelbase
Curve maze. It is a lot of fun for tall drivers, because they are exceptionally well housed on the Honda CB 1000. From 1993 to 1996 there were only just under 1100 new registrations in this country – really not a great success. The traditionalists probably lacked the fine rib on the engine block, and the high price of 17,880 marks didn’t make things any easier. As a used one, it is traded between 2300 and 3500 euros and is still worth the money.

plus
Excellent workmanship; high reliability; sophisticated engine; surprisingly good handiness; very good seating position for adults.

minus
Slightly weak in the lower speed range; too high passenger footrests; exotic tire sizes; it’s often only rebuilt.

Data (model year 1993)
Water-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke in-line engine, 998 cm³, 72 kW (98 PS) at 8500 / min, 87 Nm at 6000 / min, four valves per cylinder, double loop frame made of steel, telescopic fork, two-arm swing arm made of aluminum, tires 120/70 ZR 18; 170/60 ZR 18, full tank weight 263 kg, payload 187 kg, tank capacity 22 liters, seat height 800 mm, top speed 217 km / h, 0-100 km / h in 4.1 seconds, consumption 4.7 to 9.6 l /100 km.

Honda Hornet 900


Second-hand advice: Japanese big bikes


Frill

ie Honda Hornet 900.

Take the tried-and-tested four-cylinder from the 1998 CBR 900 RR Fireblade, inject it, provide more torque and a little less peak performance, and pack the whole thing in the reinforced central tubular frame of the Hornet 600 – and the pragmatic driving machine called the Honda Hornet 900 is ready is somehow different, and if you are looking for lovingly crafted details, you should look elsewhere (CB 1000?). For naked bike fans who just want to ride and who value reliability, but who miss the retro packaging and chrome bohei, the big Hornet, which was listed in the Honda range from 2002 to 2006, is spot on.

Directional stability, agile handling, high steering precision

Their driving behavior is completely unspectacular and combines directional stability with agile handling and high steering precision. The short translation and the spontaneous power development of the Ex-Fireblade engine make the SC48 the sportier representative of its kind. Interested parties should increasingly look for models from model year 2004, because in addition to a subtle facelift, there was a tighter and adjustable fork and adjustable rebound damping for the back then Shock absorber. The map for ignition and injection has also been revised. The used Hornet range is between 2300 and 4500 euros.

plus
Problem-free driving behavior (see below for exception); agile engine with rich sound; low consumption; comfortable sitting position; moderate used prices.

minus
Partly a bit rustic style; Knocking the handlebars when accelerating violently on rocky slopes.

Data (model year 2002)
Water-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke in-line engine, 919 cm³, 80 kW (109 PS) at 9000 / min, 91 Nm at 6500 / min, four valves per cylinder, central tubular frame made of steel, telescopic fork, two-arm swing arm made of aluminum, tires 120/70 ZR 17; 180/55 ZR 17, weight with full tank 219 kg, payload 187 kg, tank capacity 19 liters, seat height 790 mm, top speed 230 km / h, 0-100 km / h in 2.9 seconds, consumption 5.0 to 5.4 l /100 km.

Kawasaki Z 1000


Second-hand advice: Japanese big bikes


Kawasaki

The Kawasaki Z 1000.

The retro job in the Kawasaki program was done by the Zephyr models up to and including 1999. After that, it was left to anemic bread-and-butter machines like the ZR-7 for some time to tie in with the blissful Z1 and Z 900 times. But since 2003 the Greens have been with the Z 1000 an iron in the fire that perfectly keeps memories of the good old bad boys days alive – and all that without any retro or neoclassical fuss. Kawasaki knew very well how to combine modern and proven technology such as the drilled out motor of the ZX-9R, its brakes and an upside-down fork with a new, fresh and cheeky packaging. The partly pure dazzle, such as the aluminum dummies made of plastic that conceal the boring tubular steel frame.

Pull out your arms and hiss evil

Anyway, that Kawasaki Z 1000 may have a somewhat soft bottom-middle configuration and not necessarily compete like a 127-horsepower bike, but at 6000 rpm at the latest it does exactly what a real Z should: pull out your arms and hiss nastily . The third Z 1000 generation is now vying for customers (model change in 2007 and 2010), but the first edition shown here is still a popular model. From 3500 euros there are serious offers with many kilometers; And a well-groomed cream cake of the first generation does not have to cost more than 5000 euros.

plus
Extremely lively engine in the upper speed range; wonderful sound; excellent brakes; very active Z 1000 (accessory) scene.

minus
Slightly restrained start from the speed cellar; partly quite casual processing (lacquer); material-killing vibrations.

Data (model year 2005)
Water-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke in-line engine, 953 cm³, 93.4 kW (127 PS) at 10,000 / min, 96 Nm at 8,000 / min, four valves per cylinder, backbone frame made of steel, upside-down fork, two-arm swing arm made of aluminum, Tires 120/70 ZR 17; 190/50 ZR 17, full tank weight 221 kg, load 180 kg, tank capacity 18 liters, seat height 820 mm, top speed 245 km / h, 0-100 km / h in 3.4 seconds, consumption 5.5 to 6.3 l /100 km.

Kawasaki ZZR 1200


Second-hand advice: Japanese big bikes


Kawasaki

The Kawasaki ZZR 1200.

Kawasaki had already practiced a little with the ZZ-R 1100 from 1990 to 2001 and not only offered the first production motorcycle with the Ram Air system, but also the fastest production bike in the world at times. The image of a strong all-rounder with the best kilometer eater qualities was honestly deserved, only the slightly too soft spring elements were a bit annoying, and the 173 kilos payload was simply not enough. The successor ZZR 1200, presented in 2002 with a larger displacement, more powerful and, above all, more tightly tuned, could do everything a little better.

Excellent wind and weather protection

The slight weaknesses in the chassis were not an issue, only the thing with the insufficient load remained a nuisance. One that didn’t really bother fast solo travelers. They preferred to enjoy the rich draft, the great handling, the extremely comfortable seating position and of course the excellent wind and weather protection. But there weren’t that many, the absolutely reliable ZZR 1200 always remained in the shadow of Suzuki Hayabusa and Honda Doppel-X until 2005. That still makes them an insider tip today. Used copies are available from 3200 euros, and even for real treasures, you never have to invest more than 5000 euros.

plus
Top performance and powerful pulling power, best long-distance qualities; comfortable, well-protected workplace; high reliability; snappy brakes; great handling.

minus
Significantly thirstier than the ZZ-R 1100; no injection system yet; far too little payload.

Data (model year 2002)
Water-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke in-line engine, 1164 cm³, 112 kW (152 PS) at 9800 / min, 124 Nm at 8200 / min, four valves per cylinder, aluminum bridge frame, telescopic fork, two-arm swing arm made of aluminum, tires 120/70 ZR 17; 180/55 ZR 17, full tank weight 276 kg, load 175 kg, tank capacity 23 liters, seat height 800 mm, top speed 275 km / h, 0-100 km / h in 2.7 seconds, consumption 6.7 l / 100 km.

Suzuki Bandit 1200 S.


Second-hand advice: Japanese big bikes


Suzuki

The Suzuki Bandit 1200 S..

A lot of motorcycle for relatively little money: The 1200 bandit, which was sold very successfully as a new machine from 1996 to 2006, cultivates the best of Suzuki virtues. A lot of pressure from the air / oil-cooled fine rib engine, a handy chassis, plenty of space for the driver and pillion passenger, who are also allowed to play in the XL league – and an appetizing appearance: the bandit mix is ​​17 years after its market launch still attractive. Especially with the half-boarded S-model, which, unlike its naked sister, was mostly spared from overly wild (Streetfighter) conversions and is somewhat more popular as a used machine.

4000 to 4500 euros for real cream slices

There are three generations to choose from today: the original model (GV 75 A), which was built up to and including 2000 and available with ABS from 1997 for a surcharge, the newly styled and for even more handiness with a modified frame layout sold from 2001 to 2005 (WV A 9 ) and the “intermediate model” WV CB from 2006, which with standard ABS and a completely new chassis literally created the framework for the 1250 Bandit with injection engine, which will be offered from 2007. The 1200 second-hand prices start at almost 2000 euros for kilometer kings; For real cream slices from the last year of construction, 4000 to 4500 euros are sometimes required.

plus
Powerful engine; handy chassis; high reliability; good long-distance suitability (S model); abundant supply; busy scene.

minus
Steering head bearing that wears out early; high oil consumption (isolated piston problems with the 2001 model); unprofessional conversions.

Data (model year 2004)
Air / oil-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke in-line engine, 1157 cm³, 72 kW (98 PS) at 8500 / min, 92 Nm at 6500 / min, four valves per cylinder, double loop frame made of steel, telescopic fork, two-arm swing arm made of aluminum, tires 120/70 ZR 17; 180/55 ZR 17, full tank weight 246 kg, payload 208 kg, tank capacity 20 liters, seat height 810 mm, top speed 230 km / h, 0-100 km / h in 3.3 seconds, consumption 5.1 to 5.4 l /100 km.

Suzuki SV 1000 S.


Second-hand advice: Japanese big bikes


fact

The Suzuki SV 1000 S.

As a Japanese producer in the one-liter class, you put something other than a typical in-line four-cylinder on two wheels – and things quickly go wrong. While the little SV sister does a lot of clearing in the 650 category, the naked one mutates SV 1000 and the half-boarded S-model to shopkeepers and can only stay in the German Suzuki program from spring 2003 to the end of 2005 for just under three years. It couldn’t have been because of the famous V-twin-cylinder engine, because it is beyond any doubt and with its sporty talents gives the driver a very broad grin.

A real insider tip as a used one

The chassis is hardly inferior to this and allows – especially with the naked SV 1000 – a refreshingly brisk pace. Too brisk for the more sedate 1000 clientele? Regardless, as a used car, the large SV is definitely a real insider tip – still! In the first model year, the SV 1000 and SV 1000 S still differ in the seating position: the naked one initially offers a more comfortable workplace for long drivers. The S will be improved in 2004. The last new machines will be sold out in 2006; Today, very good used cars usually cost between 3500 and 4500 euros.

plus
Powerful, easy-revving motor; good workmanship; stable chassis allowing a sporty gait; loving previous owner.

minus
Coolers at risk of falls; steering damper too tight; somewhat uncomfortable seating position for taller drivers (S-model 2003).

Data (model year 2003)
Water-cooled two-cylinder four-stroke 90-degree V-engine, 996 cm³, 88 kW (120 PS) at 8500 rpm, 102 Nm at 7200 rpm, four valves per cylinder, aluminum bridge frame, telescopic fork, aluminum swing arm, tires 120/70 ZR 17; 180/55 ZR 17, weight with a full tank of 217 kg, payload 198 kg, tank capacity 17 liters, seat height 840 mm, top speed 235 km / h, 0-100 km / h in 3.2 seconds, consumption 4.8 to 5.5 l /100 km.

Yamaha BT 1100


Second-hand advice: Japanese big bikes


Yamaha

The Yamaha BT 1100.

If 65 horsepower meets five quintals plus the crew, it does not necessarily mean that trees can be uprooted. But that’s not what the “Bulldog” represented in the Yamaha range from 2001 to 2006 was made for. The aim was to serve a clientele for whom a typical cruiser was a bit too phlegmatic and unwieldy, but a sporty nude like the Ducati Monster seemed much too hectic and capricious. So rural road pleasure drivers, and for them the V-twin-cylinder, which has proven itself tens of thousands of times in TR1 and various XV cruisers, is a really good choice. The air-cooled two-valve oldie usually does its job below 3000 revs – and in a very casual and relaxed way.

Low-maintenance cardan shaft and very comfortable seating position

In combination with the low-maintenance cardan shaft and a very comfortable sitting position over the long term, this results in a very pleasant all-round feel-good package. One that was not properly recognized by the new machine customers: The machine, which was relatively expensive at the time and was built in Italy, remained an exotic one, only 4626 units came to Germany. The used ones start at just under 3000 euros, much more than 4500 euros are not paid even for lovingly cared for first-hand treasures.

plus
Clear and low-maintenance technology; top brakes (from R1 / R6); very comfortable sitting position; good build quality.

minus
Much too soft fork; leaking instruments (up to model update 2005); The starter freewheel is occasionally prone to defects.

Data (model year 2002)
Air-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke 75-degree V-engine, 1063 cm³, 48 kW (65 PS) at 5500 / min, 88 Nm at 4500 / min, two valves per cylinder, steel bridge frame, telescopic fork, two-arm swing arm made of aluminum, tires 120/70 ZR 17; 170/60 ZR 17, weight with a full tank 251 kg, load 199 kg, tank capacity 20 liters, seat height 812 mm, top speed 174 km / h, 0-100 km / h in 4.9 seconds, consumption 5.1 to 5.7 l /100 km.

Yamaha FZ1


Second-hand advice: Japanese big bikes


Yamaha

The Yamaha FZ1.

Little below, not much in the middle, but everything over 7000 revs. Some call it low torque, for others it’s just a radical, uncompromising performance characteristic. The sometimes hard, slightly delayed throttle response doesn’t make things any easier. A particularly sensitive throttle hand is required on the “Streetfighter ex works” in order not to let the neat lines in the Winkelwerk get messed up. To put it in a nutshell: The FZ1 has been polarizing since it went on sale in 2006, and that’s an achievement in the midst of all the nice and cultured nudes.

For friends of radical solutions

Its engine is the four-cylinder of the super sports car R1, which has been tamed from 175 to still an impressive 150 hp. For this, compression, camshafts, flywheel mass and mapping had to put up with a few interventions. The stiff FZ1 chassis does not reach the R1 level by a long shot, but in connection with the powerfully gripping and finely adjustable brakes (since 2008 optionally with ABS) and under the guidance of a knowledgeable hand, it is definitely for the burning of the rather conservatively designed naked bike- Suitable for competition. The new costs FZ1 according to the list 10,995 euros (without ABS), in practice a thousand less. Good used ones are available from 5500 euros – and worth considering for friends of radical solutions.

plus
Impressive top performance; excellent brakes; high reliability; good workmanship; clear cockpit.

minus
Pronounced weakness in draft; throttle response that takes getting used to; Handlebar slapping; uncomfortable pillion seat.

Data (model year 2006)

If motorcycles could cry, the SV, which has flattened its wheels since 2004, would have to sob bitterly. Anyone who takes heart and redeems them for little money will get a splendid V2 engine as a reward. Even so, the 1000 models never matched the success of their 650 sisters. Therefore, Suzuki did not officially bring the facelifted 2005 version with a black painted aluminum bridge frame and a whopping 120 hp into the country. It’s a shame.

New colors. This is usually a reason to yawn and generally does not qualify a motorcycle to appear in a novelty story.

But you don’t have to, because the Fazer version of the FZ1 gets an ABS after a year on the market. So she’s in the story anyway, although
nothing changes in the rest of the technology. Why not on this occasion too
the uncovered FZ1 was equipped with an anti-lock device, except
probably nobody to the Yamaha product planners. The FZ6 is now also possible.
At least the FZ1 will be available in a tasty blue in the coming model year-
metallic paintwork with narrow red decorative stripes on the wheels. But this time she had to give up her photo space to the Fazer.
