Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2022

The SE is a worthy further development of the already very sporty and good-natured Kawasaki Z900. But now sporty owners can also do fast laps on trackdays without making any major compromises. The components from Öhlins and Brembo bring real added value, so that the only thing missing is the quickshifter.

powerful engine

high-quality chassis components

strong brake

good ergonomics

easy handling on the racetrack

missing quickshifter

Kawasaki Z 800 2017

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.
