Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 890 Duke GP 2023

You could expect a lot behind the GP abbreviation. Is the 890 Duke GP therefore a deceptive package? Not necessarily, because with the unbelievably fun 890 Duke as a basis, which has been refined even further, you are buying a true joy dispenser with this naked bike, which will sweeten your everyday life and weekend rides. If only the quickshifter were fitted as standard...

powerful engine

comfortable ergonomics

comprehensive electronics package

lively handling

combination of riding fun and suitability for everyday use

very tight seat Quickshifter at extra cost

Kawasaki Z650 2024

The Kawasaki Z 650 is probably the most docile motorbike in the naked bike segment. And that is to be understood in an absolutely positive way - as long as you are not particularly tall and heavy. It is slim, light, agile and accessible. All the controls, but also the engine, do not overwhelm. If you are looking for spectacular performance, you should go for the Z 900, but if you are looking for a nimble and easy-to-ride motorbike, you will be satisfied.

Very accessible handling

Very compact and easy to manoeuvre

Motorcycle appears light and compact

Gives small riders a lot of confidence

Adjustable levers

Not enough space on the bike for tall riders

bike looks a class smaller than 650cc overall

engine looks a bit tame

very defensive seating position

handlebars too narrow and cranked too much for a naked bike.
