However, there are some differences in the chassis and frame. The Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016 features an aluminum frame, while the Kawasaki Z900 2020 has a steel frame. This may result in differences in weight and handling characteristics, with the aluminum frame potentially offering better agility and responsiveness.
In terms of braking, both bikes have dual disc brakes at the front with four-piston calipers. However, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016 uses radial technology for its brake pistons, which may provide better braking performance and feel compared to the Kawasaki Z900 2020's petal technology.
Both bikes come equipped with ABS as an advanced rider assistance system, providing added safety during braking. However, the Kawasaki Z900 2020 offers additional features such as riding modes, ride-by-wire throttle control, and traction control, which may enhance the overall riding experience.
In terms of dimensions and weights, both bikes have similar tire widths and diameters, with the Suzuki having a slightly wider rear tire. The Suzuki also has a slightly longer wheelbase of 1460 mm compared to the Kawasaki's 1450 mm. The seat height of the Suzuki is slightly higher at 815 mm compared to the Kawasaki's 795 mm.

In terms of strengths, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016 offers a powerful engine, good braking control, a stable and responsive chassis, a comfortable seating position, and a relatively low price. On the other hand, the Kawasaki Z900 2020 boasts a powerful four-cylinder engine, excellent handling, good equipment, an aggressive appearance, and a good value for money.
However, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016 has some weaknesses, including a front end that may appear too aggressive and a potentially twitchy throttle response in the lower rev range. The Kawasaki Z900 2020, on the other hand, has a slightly cumbersome menu navigation and lacks the option for a quickshifter.
In conclusion, both the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016 and the Kawasaki Z900 2020 have their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between the two will ultimately depend on the rider's preferences and priorities, whether it be power, handling, features, or overall value for money.

Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016
Alguns poderão ficar surpreendidos com o facto de, depois de tanto tempo de espera, a Suzuki não ter lançado a derradeira e intransigente moto naked de potência. Em vez disso, a Suzuki GSX-S 1000 com os seus 149 cv parece quase demasiado bem comportada. Mas quando a conduzimos na pista de corrida, rapidamente nos apercebemos que o motor é muito mais potente na vida real e que o resto do desempenho do chassis e do sistema de travagem também é impressionante. Em contrapartida, também oferece uma grande parte da adequação quotidiana e prática - nada mau quando se tem de cobrir tudo, desde o quotidiano à pista de corrida, com uma única moto.
Kawasaki Z900 2020
Em termos de preço-desempenho, a Kawasaki Z900 é difícil de bater neste momento. Com o motor perfeitamente afinado, os componentes do quadro de alta qualidade e a eletrónica adicionada para 2020, esta moto naked oferece tudo o que os condutores desportivos procuram. Não há realmente nada a reclamar, mesmo que a opção de uma alavanca de mudanças rápidas tivesse sido um bom extra. Para além disso: grande tiro, Kawasaki!
