Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 70kW 2018

The Z900 is a top entry-level motorbike. Very smooth engine, great brakes and lots of adjustment options on the chassis and levers. The acceleration may be too good for speed junkies, but it's just right for learning. The lack of electronic gimmicks, riding modes and traction control doesn't bother either, but makes the Z900 a good bike to learn the basics of two-wheeled locomotion. A high-quality purist, a real motorbike, even with only 48 hp!

Smooth engine with punch at approx. 6000 rpm

Finely controllable brakes

Smooth running of the engine super for city traffic

Typical 4-cylinder shriek, but very restrained at low revs

Stable at motorway speeds

Good handling

Quite small for tall people

rather high weight of 210 kg

acceleration with 48 hp rather poor due to weight

Yamaha Tracer 9 2021

Absolutely recommended for riders who like sporty riding but also don't want to forego the advantages of a touring vehicle. Whether GT or standard version is a question of taste: if you like to accelerate, mainly ride on good roads and are comfortable with a firm chassis, the standard Tracer 9 will serve you very well. Those who would like to have a bit of comfort on top and also ride longer tours from time to time will appreciate the comfort and additional equipment of the GT.
