Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z900 70kW 2018
The Z900 is a top entry-level motorbike. Very smooth engine, great brakes and lots of adjustment options on the chassis and levers. The acceleration may be too good for speed junkies, but it's just right for learning. The lack of electronic gimmicks, riding modes and traction control doesn't bother either, but makes the Z900 a good bike to learn the basics of two-wheeled locomotion. A high-quality purist, a real motorbike, even with only 48 hp!
Yamaha MT-07 2018
The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile power unit in this class - and even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the aggressive design with its many corners and edges is also appealing. Only the chassis makes the typically good compromise between comfort and sport and should probably remind you that the affordable MT-07 also has a lot to offer beginners.
