Overview - Kawasaki Z900 2021 vs Suzuki GSR 750 2013

The Kawasaki Z900 2021 and the Suzuki GSR 750 2013 are both naked bikes with similar engine types, in-line four-cylinder engines. However, there are notable differences in their technical specifications and overall performance.

In terms of engine power, the Kawasaki Z900 2021 takes the lead with 125.4 HP compared to the Suzuki GSR 750 2013's 106 HP. This higher power output gives the Z900 an advantage in terms of acceleration and top speed.

Similarly, the Z900 also has a higher torque rating of 98.6 Nm compared to the GSR 750's 80 Nm. This means that the Z900 will have better low-end and mid-range power delivery, resulting in more responsive and enjoyable riding experience.

Both bikes have four cylinders and a displacement of around 750-950cc, providing a good balance between power and fuel efficiency. However, the Z900's larger displacement of 948cc gives it a slight edge in terms of overall performance.

In terms of chassis, both bikes feature a steel frame. The Z900 has a double cradle frame, which provides excellent stability and handling characteristics. On the other hand, the GSR 750 has a twin tube frame, which also offers good rigidity but may not be as refined as the Z900's frame.

When it comes to braking performance, both bikes have double disc brakes at the front. However, the Z900 has four-piston calipers compared to the GSR 750's double piston calipers. This means that the Z900 will have better stopping power and more precise braking control.

In terms of dimensions, both bikes have the same front and rear tire widths and diameters, as well as the same wheelbase. However, the Z900 has a slightly lower seat height of 795 mm compared to the GSR 750's 815 mm. This lower seat height may be more suitable for riders with shorter inseams or those who prefer a lower riding position.

In terms of strengths, the Kawasaki Z900 2021 offers a powerful four-cylinder engine, intuitive handling, good equipment, aggressive looks, and value for money. On the other hand, the Suzuki GSR 750 2013 has good ergonomics, a strong engine, ABS, and instruments that are easy to read.

However, the Z900 does have a few weaknesses. It does not offer a quickshifter option, which is available on some of its competitors. Additionally, some of its competitors have a 6-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) that provides advanced electronic aids, giving them an edge in terms of electronic features.

The Suzuki GSR 750 2013 also has a few weaknesses. Its brakes are considered weak compared to some of its competitors, and its square swingarm gives it a cheap appearance. Furthermore, the suspension elements on the GSR 750 do not have adjustability, limiting the rider's ability to fine-tune the bike's handling characteristics.

In conclusion, while both the Kawasaki Z900 2021 and the Suzuki GSR 750 2013 are capable naked bikes, the Z900 offers a more powerful engine, better braking performance, and a lower seat height. However, the GSR 750 has its strengths in terms of ergonomics, ABS, and easy-to-read instruments. Ultimately, the choice between these two bikes will depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.
