Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 400 2023

A cool and sensible entry into the A2 class. The Kawasaki Z400 scores points all along the line with its instinctive handling and the in-line two-cylinder, which convinces with good response and sufficient power. You can't go wrong with this naked bike and you can overlook the fact that the levers are not adjustable - after all, costs have to be saved somewhere.
