Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 2020

In terms of price-performance, the Kawasaki Z900 is hard to beat at the moment. With the perfectly tuned engine, the high-quality chassis components and the electronics added for 2020, this naked bike offers everything that sporty riders will be looking for. There is really nothing to complain about, even if the option of a quickshifter would have been a nice extra. Apart from that: great shot, Kawasaki!

powerful four-cylinder

great handling

good equipment

aggressive looks

value for money

Menu navigation somewhat tiring

missing quickshifter option

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2020

There may already be some power naked bikes that cut an excellent figure on the race track with incredibly powerful engines. But with its Öhlins chassis, the many superbike components and this incredible performance, the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory is currently the best naked bike on the racetrack and therefore also arrow-quick on the country road. What is most amazing is that the respect-inspiring 175 hp and 121 Newton metres of torque behave in such an uncomplicated and easily controllable way - the Tuono Factory is not only fast but also incredibly fun!

Incredibly powerful and easy to control engine

classy Öhlins suspension

comfortable seating position

good aerodynamics

transparent brakes

independent look

high-quality components

top exhaust sound.

High price

the design could have used some changes
