Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 800 2014

Kawasaki Z 800 2014

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.

Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius 2011

Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius 2011

The Suzuki's top performer is clearly its engine; the V2 is wonderfully agile and powerful. This often makes up for the somewhat feminine appearance, which this racy engine does not really deserve.

solid handling

good ergonomics

powerful V2 engine

cheap-looking swingarm

telescopic fork
