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

BMW F 900 XR 2025

BMW F 900 XR 2025

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride

cool looks, great display

good brakes

easy handling

stable ride feel

great connectivity

maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

Hard seat

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter

engine could use more pepper
