Kawasaki Z900 2019

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

Fair price

The three-cylinder lacks a little pressure from the rev range, but it revs and shrieks out of the top like a three-headed hellhound. The XC version in particular is a real man's bike with a lot of power and mass.

Powerful and lively engine
