Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSR 750 2012

A razor-sharp design with an aggressive front and narrow rear - just as speedy street raiders have always wanted. It is a pity that the rear swingarm was neglected (officially for weight reasons, unofficially for cost reasons), and the front dual-piston brake system seems a little weak. However, the performance during the ride, both at high speed and in tight corners, is quite good.

Attractive overall appearance

stable handling

successful tuning of the suspension elements

sufficient comfort

easy-to-read instruments.

Brake system requires a lot of manual force

box swingarm not particularly pretty

Kawasaki Z900 2022

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 In terms of "outdated" electronics, the most annoying thing is the missing shift assistant, which is not even available as an option.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
