The Suzuki GSR 750 2017 and the Kawasaki Z900 2017 are both naked bikes with similar engine types, inline four-cylinder engines. However, there are some notable differences between the two models.

In terms of engine power, the Kawasaki Z900 2017 has a clear advantage with 125.4 HP compared to the Suzuki GSR 750 2017's 106 HP. The Kawasaki also has a higher torque of 98.6 Nm compared to the Suzuki's 80 Nm. This means that the Kawasaki Z900 2017 will likely offer better acceleration and overall performance.

Both bikes have a steel frame, but the Suzuki GSR 750 2017 features a twin tube frame while the Kawasaki Z900 2017 has a double cradle frame. The choice of frame design can affect the bike's handling and stability, but without further information, it is difficult to determine which frame design is superior.

In terms of braking, both bikes have double disc brakes at the front. However, the Kawasaki Z900 2017 has four-piston calipers compared to the Suzuki GSR 750 2017's double piston calipers. This suggests that the Kawasaki may offer better braking performance and control.

However, the seat height differs slightly, with the Suzuki GSR 750 2017 having a seat height of 815 mm compared to the Kawasaki Z900 2017's 795 mm.

Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSR 750 2017

Suzuki GSR 750 2017

A razor-sharp design with an aggressive front and narrow rear - just as speedy street raiders have always wanted. It is a pity that the rear swingarm was neglected (officially for weight reasons, unofficially for cost reasons), and the front dual-piston brake system seems a little weak. However, the performance during the ride, both at high speed and in tight corners, is quite good.

An incredibly well-designed motorbike. A lot of test work and attention to detail went into it. It has exactly the right power, exactly the right chassis and exactly the right look.

If you like, you can ride it simply and faithfully, but if you want, you can also ride it really fast and it wheels like hell. Great!
