Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM RC 390 2023

KTM RC 390 2023

The KTM RC 390 presents itself as a sporty and dynamic bike that is particularly suitable for riders looking for an agile and manoeuvrable machine. Its fully adjustable suspension and low weight ensure precise and easy handling, while the comprehensive electronics package, including the innovative supermoto ABS, offers additional safety and riding pleasure. The engine, on the other hand, shows weaknesses in power delivery, especially at low revs, which is not what you would expect from a single-cylinder engine. The aggressive riding position is a double-edged sword: it enables a sporty riding experience, but can be uncomfortable for longer rides.

Kawasaki Z650 2024

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.
