Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z650 2023

The Kawasaki Z 650 is probably the most docile motorbike in the naked bike segment. And that is to be understood in an absolutely positive way - as long as you are not particularly tall and heavy. It is slim, light, agile and accessible. All the controls, but also the engine, do not overwhelm. If you are looking for spectacular performance, you should go for the Z 900, but if you are looking for a nimble and easy-to-ride motorbike, you will be satisfied.

Very accessible handling

Very compact and easy to manoeuvre

Motorcycle appears light and compact

Gives small riders a lot of confidence

Adjustable levers

Not enough space on the bike for tall riders

bike looks a class smaller than 650cc overall

engine looks a bit tame

very defensive seating position

handlebars too narrow and cranked too much for a naked bike.

Benelli 752 S 2023

If you like Italian design and the design language of MV Agusta's Brutale series in particular, you will find the Benelli 752 S a particularly stylish partner. The setup of the suspension and braking system is very well done, and the riding position is comfortably upright - in other words, it meets the standard you would expect on a modern mid-range naked bike. The engine's acceleration is also mediocre; more could certainly be achieved by revising the injection electronics. On the other hand, the features of the Benelli 752 S would fit into a higher class, with LED lighting all round, a fat USD fork and even a TFT colour display, it makes quite an impression.

attractive appearance

good sound

comfortable seating position

well-balanced suspension

powerful Brembo brakes

colour TFT display

Engine could be more powerful

hardly any adjustability in the display
