Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius 2012
The Suzuki's top performer is clearly its engine; the V2 is wonderfully agile and powerful. This often makes up for the somewhat feminine appearance, which this racy engine does not really deserve.
Kawasaki Z900 2023
The Kawasaki Z900 may not be up to scratch when it comes to modern, lean angle-dependent electronic features, but it's relatively cheap and you shouldn't underestimate the fan base of the good old inline four - the Z900 is one of the cheapest ways to own such a great engine with just under a litre of displacement in a sporty naked bike! The higher weight is noticeable, but not massively annoying, because the handling and stability are quite alright. In terms of "outdated" electronics, the most annoying thing is the missing shift assistant, which is not even available as an option. Overall, however, the Z900 is a great naked bike with a great price-performance ratio.
