Kawasaki Z900 2023

Kawasaki Z900 2023

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 In terms of "outdated" electronics, the most annoying thing is the missing shift assistant, which is not even available as an option.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

Triumph Trident 660 2021

Triumph Trident 660 2021

You can tell that the Trident is a new bike. Triumph has developed the necessary ingredients for the year 2021 with pinpoint accuracy. Cheeky but not intrusive sound, a lively engine and a comprehensive electronics package including quickshifter are simply fun. A casual motorbike that even experienced riders can have a lot of fun riding.

Powerful three-cylinder powerplant

surprisingly good chassis and brakes for this class

extensive electronic equipment

optional quickshifter with blipper

simple and accessible controls

Traction control overall very defensive
