Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 2022

The Kawasaki Z900 may not be up to scratch when it comes to modern, lean angle-dependent electronic features, but it's relatively cheap and you shouldn't underestimate the fan base of the good old inline four - the Z900 is one of the cheapest ways to own such a great engine with just under a litre of displacement in a sporty naked bike! The higher weight is noticeable, but not massively annoying, because the handling and stability are quite alright. In terms of "outdated" electronics, the most annoying thing is the missing shift assistant, which is not even available as an option. Overall, however, the Z900 is a great naked bike with a great price-performance ratio.

Light and natural handling with high stability

silky engine with full pull from low revs

high chassis transparency, great feedback

seating position with feel-good factor

absolutely fair price.

Relatively cumbersome operation of the menu

no slope-dependent assistance systems

high weight

Honda Forza 750 2021

The most powerful scooter currently available is not only fun in the city, but also for sporty riding on a country road tour. The Honda Forza 750 is agile, stable, suitable for everyday use, comfortable and offers good wind and weather protection. Compared to other maxi-scooters, it has less storage space under the seat, but a full-face helmet will always fit inside. The scooter can be optionally upgraded with a top case, heated grips, a top case backrest for the pillion passenger and much more.
