Kawasaki Z 300 2017

Kawasaki Z 300 2017

The cool design of the Kawasaki Z300, which is extremely similar to that of its big sister Z800, makes it a very grown-up-looking motorbike. The stable braking system and the easy-to-read cockpit with an analogue rev counter and all the necessary features fit in very well with this image. Thanks to the 170 kg ready-to-ride weight, the bike is extremely easy to handle and playful. The engine only reveals its potential in the upper rev range, but revs up willingly and makes you want to ride in a sporty manner. Only the comfort-oriented chassis cannot quite cope with radically sporty demands - but this is quite legitimate and understandable for an entry-level motorbike.

Fortunately, the new Kawasaki Z900 has lost none of its character through the use of electronics. It is and remains a playful mid-range naked bike, which at the same time masters the brisk pace on the country road magnificently. The riding pleasure and suitability for everyday use are high, the now installed riding aids offer a plus in safety. Your opponents will have a really hard time from now on.

Light and natural handling with high stability

Silky engine with full pull from mid revs

High chassis transparency, great feedback

Sitting position with feel-good factor

Fair price

TFT display mounted too low
