Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 750 2009

The GSX-R 750 is the golden mean in many respects. It offers a level of power that is not overwhelming on the road but is also a lot of fun. On the one hand, it is relatively inexpensive, but on the other, it is still fast enough. The GSX-R 750 is a great supersport machine. If you don't value superlatives and just want a good bike, go for the GSX-R 750 and use the money you save to treat yourself to race training sessions on the Nordschleife....

Excellent engine reponsiveness

great modulation

comfortable riding position even for tall riders

reliable technology

perfect transmission

unspectacular at the pub-talk

brake pads and lines too slack for racetrack use

long final drive ratio

Kawasaki Z 800 2013

Overall, the Z800 delivered a sensational performance. Considering the fact that nothing was changed or optimised on the vehicle apart from the Remus rear silencer, a super final result.

Eye-catching, chunky look

confident acceleration

relaxed geometry

powerful brakes

Limited freedom of movement for the legs.
