Pros

  • Easy handler
  • Powerful engine
  • Light clutch lever

Cons

  • Simple instrument cluster
  • Needs more electronic aids
  • Stiff suspension

Verdict

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.
