Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 750 2009

A good bike at a very good price, especially the upside-down fork is convincing.

improved torque curve

upside-down fork

aggressive engine

low price

high weight

4 hp less than the predecessor

not exactly effortless driving

Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius 2012

The Suzuki's top performer is clearly its engine; the V2 is wonderfully agile and powerful. This often makes up for the somewhat feminine appearance, which this racy engine does not really deserve.

solid handling

good ergonomics

powerful V2 engine

cheap-looking swingarm

telescopic fork
