In terms of suspension, both bikes have a telescopic front fork and a monoshock rear suspension. However, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 offers an Öhlins suspension, which is considered to be of higher quality and provides better performance. This is a significant advantage for the Yamaha in terms of handling and comfort.
In terms of chassis, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 features an aluminum frame, while the Kawasaki Z650 2023 has a steel frame. Aluminum frames are generally lighter and offer better handling, so the Yamaha may have an advantage in this aspect.
Both bikes have dual disc front brakes, but the Kawasaki Z650 2023 has slightly larger discs with a diameter of 300mm compared to the Yamaha's 298mm. This may provide the Kawasaki with slightly better braking performance.
In terms of dimensions and weights, the Kawasaki Z650 2023 is slightly smaller and lighter than the Yamaha MT-09 2017. The Kawasaki has a shorter wheelbase of 1410mm compared to the Yamaha's 1440mm, and it also has a lower seat height of 790mm compared to the Yamaha's 815mm.

Both bikes come with advanced rider assistance systems such as ABS and traction control. However, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 also offers additional features like quick shift and a Magura HC3 radial brake pump, which can enhance the riding experience.
In terms of weaknesses, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 has a higher cost and requires more maintenance. Certain parts may need to be registered, and the ECU Flash modification may not be legal for road use. On the other hand, the Kawasaki Z650 2023 may not provide enough space for taller riders and has a more defensive seating position. The handlebars are also narrower and may not be as comfortable for a naked bike.
In conclusion, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 offers more power, better suspension, and additional features compared to the Kawasaki Z650 2023. However, the Kawasaki has a more compact and maneuverable design, making it suitable for smaller riders. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.

Em conclusão, depois de várias paragens ao longo da época, posso olhar para trás e ver um grande resultado. Tanto em termos de desempenho como de aspeto, a nossa MT-09 é perfeita. A suspensão foi provavelmente a nossa questão mais importante. Onde antes havia claramente (demasiado) movimento na traseira em curvas rápidas, agora está tudo resolvido sem pestanejar. O amortecedor STX 46 é bastante rígido na sua configuração básica, mas também consegue aguentar a vida quotidiana sem ser desconfortável. Graças às generosas opções de ajuste, ainda há espaço para preferências e utilizações individuais. A função do cartucho NIX 30 também é impressionante. O comportamento de resposta - especialmente sob carga - melhorou significativamente. Agora também há muito mais reserva disponível durante a travagem. Onde antes a forquilha entrava em bloqueio e o ABS era acionado quando se travava a fundo com a configuração original, agora os travões simplesmente continuam a funcionar eficazmente. Para além disso, a MT-09 segue agora a linha pretendida no raio de curva como se estivesse sozinha - um puro prazer. A visão e o som do sistema completo Akrapovic também são pura alegria, e o facto de produzir mais alguns cavalos de potência é sentido de forma eficaz, especialmente no terço superior da gama de rotações. A roda dianteira dispara ainda com mais vontade para a galeria na 2ª e 3ª velocidades.
Kawasaki Z650 2023

A Kawasaki Z 650 é provavelmente a moto mais dócil no segmento das motos naked. E isso deve ser entendido de uma forma absolutamente positiva - desde que você não seja particularmente alto e pesado. É fino, leve, ágil e acessível. Todos os controlos, mas também o motor, não sobrecarregam. Se procura um desempenho espetacular, deve optar pela Z 900, mas se procura uma moto ágil e fácil de conduzir, ficará satisfeito.
