Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia SX 125 2024

Aprilia's SX 125 is a very sporty supermoto that does justice to Aprilia's long 125cc history. Its 15 hp single-cylinder inspires with its balanced character with high suitability for everyday use, but at the same time provides a lot of fun under the helmet. The biggest advantage it has over the competition is its ABS system, which only acts on the front wheel and was installed instead of a CBS system. This makes it possible to conjure up beautiful drifts on the asphalt, as befits a true supermoto.

pleasant engine characteristics

high-quality appearance

sporty chassis

ABS instead of CBS

Kawasaki Z900 2024

The Kawasaki Z900 may not be up to scratch when it comes to modern, lean angle-dependent electronic features, but it's relatively cheap and you shouldn't underestimate the fan base of the good old inline four - the Z900 is one of the cheapest ways to own such a great engine with just under a litre of displacement in a sporty naked bike! The higher weight is noticeable, but not massively annoying, because the handling and stability are quite alright. In terms of "outdated" electronics, the most annoying thing is the missing shift assistant, which is not even available as an option. Overall, however, the Z900 is a great naked bike with a great price-performance ratio.

Light and natural handling with high stability

silky engine with full pull from low revs

high chassis transparency, great feedback

seating position with feel-good factor

absolutely fair price.

Relatively cumbersome operation of the menu

no slope-dependent assistance systems

high weight
