Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z900 2017

Uma mota incrivelmente bem concebida. Foi objeto de muitos testes e de muita atenção aos pormenores. Tem exatamente a potência certa, o chassis certo e o visual certo. Uma moto naked de sucesso geral que o fará feliz durante muito tempo. Se quiseres, podes conduzi-la de forma simples e fiel, mas se quiseres, também podes conduzi-la muito depressa e ela roda como o diabo. É óptima!
Kawasaki Z650 2020

É simplesmente maravilhoso o que a Kawasaki juntou num pacote completo com a nova Z650. Os componentes técnicos podem não impressionar individualmente, mas em conjunto formam uma mota agradavelmente neutra que todos irão apreciar. Não há idiossincrasias desagradáveis - simplesmente uma mota naked que funciona muito bem em estradas rurais sinuosas. Claro que o ecrã TFT, que não encontramos na concorrência neste momento, é uma mais-valia, tal como o aspeto adulto, que está fortemente orientado para os modelos Z maiores. Apenas o ponto de pressão do travão dianteiro poderia ter sido mais claramente definido - mas não se pode ter tudo nesta gama de preços.
