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

Suzuki GSX-8S Evo 2024

The Suzuki GSX-8S is a great bike for all bikers who like a racy ride but still appreciate agility, a well-behaved engine and comfort. The EVO version of the GSX-8S is a real eye-catcher and emphasises the modern design even more. The many colour combinations of the sticker kit make the EVO model a highlight.

Agile riding performance

benevolent engine

unusual looks

EVO windscreen optimises ergonomics

35kW throttle possible

Rather nervous at low revs

Rough quickshifter
