Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 2020

Kawasaki Z900 2020

In terms of price-performance, the Kawasaki Z900 is hard to beat at the moment. With the perfectly tuned engine, the high-quality chassis components and the electronics added for 2020, this naked bike offers everything that sporty riders will be looking for. There is really nothing to complain about, even if the option of a quickshifter would have been a nice extra. Apart from that: great shot, Kawasaki!

powerful four-cylinder

great handling

good equipment

aggressive looks

value for money

Menu navigation somewhat tiring

missing quickshifter option

Indian Scout 2021

Indian Scout 2021

Cruiser riding made easy! This is the slogan under which Indian should actually sell the Scout, because it shows that cool Yankee cruisers don't have to be difficult or complicated to use. In everyday life, it is a stress-free companion and surprises with sportiness and a very rev-happy V2. If it had a touch more character, it would be perfect.

lively engine

easy handling

low seat height

well suited for small riders

pleasant companion in everyday life

classic look

Engine lacks character
