Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 R 2021

BMW F 900 R 2021

The BMW F 900 R is a full-grown motorbike. 895 cc, 105 hp and 92 Nm smell of versatility. The F 900 R fulfils this promise completely. The motorbike, including electronics and components, does a great job in every situation. But of all things, the heart of the bike, the engine and transmission unit, does not shine in premium gloss.

Great cockpit and functional connectivity

Extensive electronics can be operated logically

Very accessible but still very casual handling

Motorcycle rides bland and reserved but also wild and sporty when needed

Pleasant seating position

Wide choice of equipment and configuration options

Low and high seat options available

Suspension allows wide range of use - comfortable but also direct and precise.

Gearstick a little stiff - with and without quickshifter

Engine runs a little rough and exudes little elegance at the top

Poor splash guard at the rear

Kawasaki Z650 2022

Kawasaki Z650 2022

Even in 2021, the Kawasaki Z 650 stands for easy riding with great looks and good equipment. Both seat height and engine are very accessible and will give both experienced riders and newcomers a lot of pleasure. If you are looking for an honest naked bike without any big surprises, this is the bike for you. Due to its compact dimensions, however, you should try it out before buying and perhaps go for the raised seat.

accessible two-cylinder

compact dimensions

low seat height

stable chassis

TFT display with connectivity

grown-up look

Probably uncomfortable for tall riders

adrenaline level in the saddle lower than with the competition
