Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 2017

Kawasaki Z900 2017

Fortunately, the new Kawasaki Z900 has lost none of its character through the use of electronics. It is and remains a playful mid-range naked bike, which at the same time masters the brisk pace on the country road magnificently. The riding pleasure and suitability for everyday use are high, the now installed riding aids offer a plus in safety. Your opponents will have a really hard time from now on.

Light and natural handling with high stability

Silky engine with full pull from mid revs

High chassis transparency, great feedback

Sitting position with feel-good factor

Fair price

TFT display mounted too low

KTM 790 Duke 2023

The KTM scores with a terrific engine and a high-quality electronics package. The look divides the motorbike community. Not all motorcyclists like the front. In direct comparison with other bikes in the class, however, the price no longer seems as attractive as it used to!

Sporty engine that is superior to other bikes in this price range

Pleasant running culture from the engine

High-quality electronics

Good ergonomics for tall riders

Cheeky sound

Taut chassis for sporty riding.

Suspension not adjustable

Mediocre brakes

Relatively high price compared to other bikes in this class.
