In terms of suspension, both bikes have telescopic front forks and a monoshock rear suspension. This provides a comfortable and stable ride, absorbing bumps and uneven road surfaces effectively. However, the KTM 690 Duke has a chromoly frame, which is known for its lightweight and high strength, while the Kawasaki Z900 has a steel frame. This gives the KTM 690 Duke a slight advantage in terms of weight and handling.
Both bikes have advanced braking systems with four-piston calipers and ABS. The Kawasaki Z900 has 300 mm diameter front brakes with petal technology, while the KTM 690 Duke has slightly larger 320 mm diameter front brakes with radial technology. This gives the KTM 690 Duke better stopping power and more precise braking.
In terms of dimensions, the KTM 690 Duke has a slightly longer wheelbase of 1466 mm compared to the Kawasaki Z900's 1450 mm. This gives the KTM 690 Duke better stability at high speeds. However, the Kawasaki Z900 has a lower seat height of 795 mm compared to the KTM 690 Duke's 835 mm. This makes the Kawasaki Z900 more accessible to riders of all heights.

On the other hand, the KTM 690 Duke offers a powerful engine suitable for daily use, many technical aids, maneuverability, and smooth operation. However, some riders may not consider it a true single-cylinder Duke.
In terms of weaknesses, the Kawasaki Z900 has a TFT screen mounted too low, a complicated menu operation, and mirrors that offer modest visibility. On the other hand, some riders may not consider the KTM 690 Duke a true single-cylinder Duke.
Overall, both the Kawasaki Z900 and the KTM 690 Duke are powerful and capable naked bikes with their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between the two ultimately depends on the rider's preferences and intended use.

Kawasaki Z900 2019
Felizmente, a nova Kawasaki Z900 não perdeu nada do seu carácter devido à utilização da eletrónica. É e continua a ser uma bicicleta nua de gama média divertida, que ao mesmo tempo domina o ritmo rápido na estrada rural magnificamente. O prazer de condução e a adequação à utilização quotidiana são elevados, as ajudas à condução agora instaladas oferecem uma vantagem em termos de segurança. A partir de agora, os seus adversários vão passar um mau bocado.
KTM 690 Duke 2019
Considerando o ponto de partida da família KTM Duke, a 690 Duke é um incrível passo em frente. O motor é extremamente refinado e, ao mesmo tempo, robusto para um monocilíndrico de rua. Apesar de toda a tecnologia a bordo, continua a ser uma moto muito leve e quase pode ser considerada um brinquedo (no bom sentido). Só a sua posição de assento divide as opiniões, porque com a Duke 4 em 2012, as antigas supermotos tornaram-se numa moto nua quase domesticada com uma posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira. A vantagem: a vida quotidiana e as longas viagens não devem ser um problema na atual Duke.
