Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2026

The Kawasaki Z900 SE is the naked bike for those who don't want to experiment. It is a fantastic package that you can buy without hesitation and be satisfied with. All in all, it delivers a total work of art that is almost disturbingly perfect in its balance. It does nothing wrong, but it doesn't do anything spectacularly well either. It is the naked bike that simply works - in every situation, for every type of rider, on every road. And perhaps that is exactly what the world needs in an age of over-enthusiastic supersports and electronically supercharged hypernakeds: a bike that simply rides. And it rides damn well.

Balanced overall package

Sensational quickshifter

Excellent ABS control

Very good engine modulation

Stable and neutral riding performance

Öhlins suspension with excellent comfort

Accessible handling for different rider types

Handlebars too narrow

lack of character due to sterile balance

sound could be more charismatic

Ducati Streetfighter V2 S 2026

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
