Pros and Cons in comparison

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

High chassis transparency, great feedback

Sitting position with feel-good factor

Fair price

TFT display mounted too low

Cumbersome menu operation

Rear view mirrors offer modest visibility

Yamaha XJR 1300 2009

For frequent pillion rides and relaxed long-distance journeys beyond the 180 km/h limit, the potent Yamaha with its combination of sovereign, smooth engine and long-distance seating is highly recommended.

Visually and functionally coherent

comfortable chassis

soft seat

superior braking system.

"Under-designed" components of the injection system.
