In terms of engine power, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R takes the lead with an impressive 180 HP compared to the Kawasaki Z900's 125.4 HP. This means that the KTM offers a more thrilling and exhilarating riding experience, especially with its powerful engine delivering a lot of power from below and in the middle.

Both bikes feature upside-down telescopic forks for the front suspension, ensuring a comfortable and controlled ride. However, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R has a single swing arm for the rear suspension, while the Kawasaki Z900 has a swing arm. This difference in suspension design may result in slightly different handling characteristics, with the KTM potentially offering better stability and control.

In terms of the chassis, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R boasts a chromium-molybdenum frame, which is known for its strength and rigidity. On the other hand, the Kawasaki Z900 has a steel frame, which may provide a balance between strength and flexibility. Both frames contribute to the bikes' overall stability and handling.

When it comes to braking, both bikes feature double disk brakes at the front with four pistons. However, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R utilizes radial, monoblock technology, while the Kawasaki Z900 uses petal technology. The KTM's radial, monoblock setup may provide better braking performance and heat dissipation, resulting in more confidence-inspiring stopping power.

In terms of rider assistance systems, both bikes offer ABS, riding modes, and traction control. However, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R goes a step further by including cornering ABS, ride by wire, and anti-wheelie features. These additional advanced rider assistance systems enhance the KTM's overall safety and performance.

In terms of dimensions and weights, both bikes have a front tire width of 120 mm and a front tire diameter of 17 inches. However, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R has a wider rear tire with a width of 200 mm compared to the Z900's 180 mm. This wider rear tire may provide better traction and stability for the KTM. Additionally, the KTM has a longer wheelbase of 1497 mm compared to the Z900's 1450 mm, potentially contributing to better stability at higher speeds.

It also offers acceptable fuel consumption considering its high power output.

In terms of weaknesses, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R lacks a standard shift assistant with a blipper, which may be disappointing for some riders. The Kawasaki Z900, on the other hand, has a somewhat tiring menu navigation and lacks the option for a quickshifter, which could be a drawback for riders who enjoy seamless gear shifts.

Overall, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021 and the Kawasaki Z900 2020 are both impressive naked bikes with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.

The KTM Super Duke R has evolved perfectly over the generations: The engine is strong, has a huge amount of torque and in the current version also works excellently from low revs. However, the excellent interaction of all components is responsible for the overall wonderful performance of the big Duke. The active seating position is comfortable and unbelievably driving-friendly, the chassis is of a high standard, the brakes are powerful and the electronics are state of the art.
