Pros and Cons in comparison

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

Kawasaki Z 800 2016

Overall, the Z800 delivered a sensational performance. Considering the fact that nothing was changed or optimised on the vehicle apart from the Remus rear silencer, a super final result.

Eye-catching, chunky look

confident acceleration

relaxed geometry

powerful brakes

Limited freedom of movement for the legs.
