Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z900 2018

No disputadíssimo segmento das motos naked, a Z900 joga mesmo na frente. Acima de tudo, o seu motor é absolutamente fantástico, funciona de forma incrivelmente sedosa e oferece uma potência rica em todas as rotações - como convém a um quatro cilindros japonês. O seu aspeto desportivo e agressivo corresponde a isto. Não necessita de sinos e assobios electrónicos, mas ainda assim transmite muita confiança quando segue as curvas, trava e acelera. O assento baixo é especialmente benéfico para os condutores mais pequenos, mas os condutores mais altos podem sentir falta de um ângulo de joelho mais plano em longas distâncias. O baixo peso e a compacidade tornam a Z900 particularmente ágil e fácil de manusear. Um canhão desportivo que também é extremamente apelativo em termos de preço

Mais potência, mais quilos, mais borracha. Não é certamente a mais manejável, o que torna por vezes cansativa a subida das montanhas tirolesas ao longo de centenas de curvas apertadas. Mas é mais madura do que a Street Triple, sabe como deslizar ao longo do vale suavemente e sem nos enervar e, por alguma razão, sente-se mais fiável e segura.
