Triumph Trident 660 vs Kawasaki Z900 Comparison

The Trident 660 has been positioned as an entry-level premium bike, for riders with less experience, or for those looking for a bike to get back into motorcycling. Looking at just the numbers, the Trident may not feel like much, but with 80 bhp power, with 90 per cent of the torque spread out across the rev range, in a 189 kg kerb weight package, makes for quite an entertaining motorcycle. It will be perfect for the daily commute, and will be up for some weekend fun.

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.
