Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z650 S 2026
The Kawasaki Z650 S 2026 is exactly the further development that many have been hoping for. Without changing the proven basic concept, Kawasaki has made the right adjustments. The new ergonomics in particular make a noticeable difference and take the bike to a new level - both for taller riders and for everyday use. The bottom line is that the Z650 S is not a spectacular bike, but an extremely harmonious one - and that is exactly what makes it so successful. In this class, that's all you really need.
Yamaha MT-07 2020
The MT-07 is a wonderful fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and perhaps even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the chassis makes the understandable compromise between comfort and sport - reminding us that the affordable MT-07 should also have a lot to offer beginners. Only the design with halogen headlights and conventional forks is rather old-fashioned.
