Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025

Kawasaki Z900 SE 2025

The Kawasaki Z900 SE is the naked bike for those who don't want to experiment. It is a fantastic package that you can buy without hesitation and be satisfied with. All in all, it delivers a total work of art that is almost disturbingly perfect in its balance. It does nothing wrong, but it doesn't do anything spectacularly well either. It is the naked bike that simply works - in every situation, for every type of rider, on every road. And perhaps that is exactly what the world needs in an age of over-enthusiastic supersports and electronically supercharged hypernakeds: a bike that simply rides. And it rides damn well.

Balanced overall package

Sensational quickshifter

Excellent ABS control

Very good engine modulation

Stable and neutral riding performance

Öhlins suspension with excellent comfort

Accessible handling for different rider types

Handlebars too narrow

lack of character due to sterile balance

sound could be more charismatic

BMW F 900 R 2024

BMW F 900 R 2024

The BMW F 900 R is a full-grown motorbike. 895 cc, 105 hp and 92 Nm smell of versatility. The F 900 R fulfils this promise completely. The motorbike, including electronics and components, does a great job in every situation. But of all things, the heart of the bike, the engine and transmission unit, does not shine in premium gloss.

Great cockpit and functional connectivity

Extensive electronics can be operated logically

Very accessible but still very casual handling

Motorcycle rides bland and reserved but also wild and sporty when needed

Pleasant seating position

Wide choice of equipment and configuration options

Low and high seat options available

Suspension allows wide range of use - comfortable but also direct and precise.

Gearstick a little stiff - with and without quickshifter

Engine runs a little rough and exudes little elegance at the top

Poor splash guard at the rear
