Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Ténéré World Crosser 2012
The Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Ténéré is a sophisticated touring motorbike with great comfort potential and a high level of suitability for everyday use. Despite its unspectacular appearance, it impresses with its robust design, reliable technology and good balance on lengthy tours. Even from today's perspective, it remains an underestimated but worthwhile choice for frequent and long-distance travellers.
Kawasaki Versys 1000 2018
The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is not a completely new model - even if it looks like one from the design point of view. The look has been cleverly adapted to the current aggressive Kawasaki line with two pointed headlights and many edges at the front. Technically, on the other hand, it has been cautiously upgraded - but quite sensibly. Two additional horsepower boost the output to 120 hp, which is excellent to ride thanks to the wonderful in-line four-cylinder characteristics. The chassis corresponds to the sporty demands of a Kawasaki, but the ergonomics and comfortable seating position allow for long journeys - just like a big enduro. With useful accessories such as a pannier set, top case, heated grips and additional headlights, the Versys 1000 becomes a serious long-distance tourer - the comparatively low base price makes these gimmicks quite affordable.
