Yamaha MT-09

Naked

In addition to the retro 900 called Z900RS, Kawasaki also has the modern form in the program, and that is simply called Z900. Trust is good: Motorcycles from a company whose products starred in the first Mad Max flick can't be bad in principle. But it's better if we... weiter

Conclusion - what gets stuck

The Kawasaki Z900 is a power. The whole thing gets all the better if you get the approximately 9,000 euros (yes, it's so cheap!) cost price. The Kawa can effortlessly annoy far stronger machines on country roads, making the 9,000 even more fitting.

However: On the other hand, this is quite a lot of money for a motorcycle, which can only be used to a very limited extent. The evening round around the block, even if it's a little bigger? Let's go, off for it. Or to the city for shopping? Join them, as long as you like to shop alone and a maximum of one backpack full.
Everything else is done by the second moped ... nevertheless: thumbs up!
