Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 2018

Kawasaki Z900 2018

In the hotly contested naked bike segment, the Z900 plays right at the front. Above all, its engine is absolutely terrific, runs incredibly silky and offers rich power in all rev regions - as befits a Japanese four-cylinder. Its sporty, aggressive appearance matches this. It does without electronic bells and whistles, but still conveys a lot of confidence when chasing corners, braking and accelerating out of them. The low seat is especially beneficial for smaller riders, but taller riders might miss a flatter knee angle on long distances. The low weight and compactness make the Z900 particularly agile and easy to handle. A sporting cannon that is also extremely appealing in terms of price

Electronically adjustable suspension, a state-of-the-art engine with electronics, ABS and DTC as well as high-quality chassis elements ensure that you can also have fun on extremely fast tours. The K 1600 GT is therefore not a motorbike for the fishing garage or the motorway enthusiast, but in fact a very normal motorbike with which you can inhale curves with pleasure.
