Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 70kW 2020

Whether you ride it with 70 kW, or in a further throttled 35 kW version: The Kawasaki Z900 is on a par with its open version - just with less power. That's why you can also be happy about the great handling and the updated electronics package for 2020. There's also good news about the engine. Even with 95 hp, the Kawa pulls tight on the chain and will give pleasure for many seasons! A bike you can grow with!

Enough power - even with throttle

great handling

good equipment

aggressive look

value for money.

Menu navigation somewhat tiring

missing quickshifter option

Yamaha MT-07 2021

Simply casual motorcycling! The MT-07 conveys carefree joie de vivre and you love to waggle the lively machine through the bends. The engine is still a guarantee for riding fun. It's amazing how much fire blazes in this little part. Unfortunately, the chassis is still not really good. Together with the missing quickshifter, it is reminiscent of the Yamaha's mild price tag.

Great engine

Pleasant ergonomics

Transparent brake feel

Good price / performance ratio

Transparent handling

Good mix of cool and practical

Chassis finds its limits with a very sporty driving style
