Kawasaki Z900 70kW 2018

The Z900 is a top entry-level motorbike. Very smooth engine, great brakes and lots of adjustment options on the chassis and levers. The acceleration may be too good for speed junkies, but it's just right for learning. The lack of electronic gimmicks, riding modes and traction control doesn't bother either, but makes the Z900 a good bike to learn the basics of two-wheeled locomotion. A high-quality purist, a real motorbike, even with only 48 hp!

Smooth engine with punch at approx. 6000 rpm

Finely controllable brakes

Smooth running of the engine super for city traffic

Typical 4-cylinder shriek, but very restrained at low revs

Stable at motorway speeds

Good handling

Quite small for tall people

rather high weight of 210 kg

acceleration with 48 hp rather poor due to weight

With the new Streetfighter V2, Ducati really has a highlight to offer. Even if the 120 hp might not knock some people's socks off, the new bike scores with its enormous stability and lightness. Thanks to its A2 suitability, it offers not only good access for beginners, but also plenty of riding pleasure for experienced riders. Despite its manageable power, it is particularly well positioned on the road thanks to its well thought-out overall concept. And for all those who like to throw data around at the pub-talk, Ducati has another ace up its sleeve with the new V4 Streetfighter.

Stable riding performance

Good handling

Good ergonomics

Automatic gearshift is sometimes awkward

Exhaust routing to the rear silencer takes some getting used to
