Kawasaki Z900 2017

Kawasaki Z900 2017

An incredibly well-designed motorbike. A lot of test work and attention to detail went into it. It has exactly the right power, exactly the right chassis and exactly the right look. An all-round successful naked bike that will make you happy for a long time. If you like, you can ride it simply and faithfully, but if you want, you can also ride it really fast and it wheels like hell. Great!

Ingenious nakedbike chassis

superb looks

engine responds super fine, revs up willingly and has a perfectly dimensioned torque

optimum intersection of performance, price and practical use

Knee angle very narrow for tall people (order another seat!)

Kawasaki Z 400 2019

The Kawasaki Z400 is definitely a great evolution of its predecessor, the Z300. More power, less weight - all around, simply an even better bike. Above all, the linear power delivery and excellent handling make the Z400 an ideal entry-level bike. The ease of clutch operation and good chassis set-up are also in this vein, which is why the Z400 can be recommended to novice riders without hesitation.

Great, very controllable power delivery

Low weight

Good seating position

Great sound

Very suitable for novice riders.

Non-adjustable clutch and brake levers

Limited adjustable chassis
