Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2013

If you're looking for a lively naked bike in the mid-range segment that's especially fun for sporty rides on country roads, the Street Triple 675 R is the perfect choice. Whether the manageable surcharge for the R pays off should be decided according to whether you really want to adjust the chassis or leave it in the well-chosen basic setup anyway.

Taut, playful chassis

agile

low weight

powerful brake

comfort offered.

Brake application a little brute towards the end.

Kawasaki Z650 2023

The Kawasaki Z 650 is probably the most docile motorbike in the naked bike segment. And that is to be understood in an absolutely positive way - as long as you are not particularly tall and heavy. It is slim, light, agile and accessible. All the controls, but also the engine, do not overwhelm. If you are looking for spectacular performance, you should go for the Z 900, but if you are looking for a nimble and easy-to-ride motorbike, you will be satisfied.

Very accessible handling

Very compact and easy to manoeuvre

Motorcycle appears light and compact

Gives small riders a lot of confidence

Adjustable levers

Not enough space on the bike for tall riders

bike looks a class smaller than 650cc overall

engine looks a bit tame

very defensive seating position

handlebars too narrow and cranked too much for a naked bike.
