Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 2018

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

Cumbersome menu operation

Rear view mirrors offer modest visibility

CFMOTO 800 NK Advanced 2023

Here comes a real firecracker from China on the market! The 800 NK Advanced shines with its over-complete equipment; this bike has features that you won't find anywhere else. Wireless Carplay and Ambiance Light, to name just two highlights, border on decadence. The engine is a joy dispenser with charisma, the chassis is well-balanced and the brakes are correctly dimensioned. Smaller tuning points still need to be tinkered with and traction control will presumably be included in the next model year. However, the package is more than tempting even in the current configuration, considering the low entry price.

Unrivalled equipment

top price-performance ratio

powerful engine

great sound

independent modern design

good material feel

adjustable chassis.

Adjustment of the driving modes could be improved
