Anyone who describes themselves as a risk-conscious, but at the same time risk-averse and stylish bon vivant should give the Hypermotard a try. But the test ride should take longer than usual - about an hour. That's how long it takes for the Hyper spark to take hold and for you to understand the Hypermotard.

Manageable performance

demanding price

strong engine

agile.

Relatively complicated handling

suboptimal brakes for slippery asphalt.

The Kawasaki Z900 may not be up to scratch when it comes to modern, lean angle-dependent electronic features, but it's relatively cheap and you shouldn't underestimate the fan base of the good old inline four - the Z900 is one of the cheapest ways to own such a great engine with just under a litre of displacement in a sporty naked bike! The higher weight is noticeable, but not massively annoying, because the handling and stability are quite alright. In terms of "outdated" electronics, the most annoying thing is the missing shift assistant, which is not even available as an option. Overall, however, the Z900 is a great naked bike with a great price-performance ratio.

Light and natural handling with high stability

silky engine with full pull from low revs

high chassis transparency, great feedback

seating position with feel-good factor

absolutely fair price.

Relatively cumbersome operation of the menu

no slope-dependent assistance systems

high weight
