Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025

The Z900 SE is not a successful addition to the normal Z900. The refined suspension and the more powerful Brembo brake system make the SE refreshingly sportier and are well worth the extra cost - especially when you factor in the cool look of the Prestige components!

Stable chassis performance

high-quality Öhlins shock

powerful Brembo brake system

comfortable riding position

good quickshifter

practical electronics

coherent overall package

playful display

maximum lean angle limited

the SE version would have deserved sporty tyres - the standard tyres are too conservative

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2025

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R impresses with a powerful 636 cubic centimetres engine and dynamic handling, making it a thoroughly potent and sportily tuned machine. The well-functioning quickshifter and clear display contribute to a positive riding experience. However, the aggressive riding position significantly compromises comfort and the lack of a modern ride-by-wire system prevents the use of a blipper - making the ZX-6R look outdated compared to competitor models. Overall, it is an excellent choice for riders with sporting ambitions, but offers room for improvement in terms of comfort and modern features.

Powerful 636cc engine with plenty of grunt and power

well-functioning quickshifter at high rpm

good handling and pleasant ride feel

clear and easy-to-read display

sporty suspension

reliable brakes

Missing Ride-by-Wire system - therefore no blipper

aggressive riding position with acute knee angle and handlebar ends turned inwards

lack of comfort for longer rides

somewhat spartan display compared to the competition
