Kawasaki Z900 vs Honda CB 1000R Comparison

Kawasaki Z900 ups the naked game with a smooth, lively, engine, beautiful handling and great all-round road manners. Yes, there are no electronic rider aids to speak of, and the lack of a windscreen or fairing will have the wind blast get to you, long before you start exploring the bike's top end performance, or touring potential, if you're so inclined. It isn't perfect, but it's easy to use in traffic, and has enough performance to delight you every time you take it out for a spin.

The Honda CB1000R offers a superb litre-class naked with a smooth, responsive and powerful engine, and being a reliable motorcycle which has everything going for it. With distinctive styling, comfy ergonomics, the CB1000R makes for a solid contender for anyone looking at a reliable and entertaining litre-class naked.
