Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 750R 2012

All in all, the tuning here has been really fine-tuned and precise. For your money, you get a really good naked bike racer with an optimal price/performance ratio that is easy to ride and achieves fast lap times. If you then dismantle the parts after a few years, you can sell the vehicle very easily on the second-hand market - the Z750 R is very popular there.

Well-designed appearance

stable chassis

footrests offer perfect support

efficient frame cover.

Clean engine tuning with a power commander was not carried out.

Kawasaki Z900 2017

An incredibly well-designed motorbike. A lot of test work and attention to detail went into it. It has exactly the right power, exactly the right chassis and exactly the right look. An all-round successful naked bike that will make you happy for a long time. If you like, you can ride it simply and faithfully, but if you want, you can also ride it really fast and it wheels like hell. Great!

Ingenious nakedbike chassis

superb looks

engine responds super fine, revs up willingly and has a perfectly dimensioned torque

optimum intersection of performance, price and practical use

Knee angle very narrow for tall people (order another seat!)
