Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2024

The Yamaha MT-09 SP already had it easy in the previous generation, as it is the even more refined version of an already really good, because wonderfully agile fun machine! The current SP version is no different, but it has been improved even further. A little more power, increased torque and better-tuned electronics make it even more fun. As expected, the suspension with classier KYB and Öhlins components works excellently, the brakes could be a little sharper, but the seating position is still what you would expect from such an agile and easily controllable fun machine. The few quirks like the small TFT display or the controversial light mask in no way make it worse, but simply an even more independent personality!
