Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I am confused between CBR650R vs Z900.
  • Selecting between the Kawasaki Z900 and Honda CBR650R would depend on certain factors such as your budget, brand preference, serviceability, engine preference, etc. The Kawasaki Z900 is one of the most bang-for-buck inline-four naked big bikes out there. Along with its impressive 125PS motor, the Z900 also offers TFT instrumentation, traction control, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, all-LED illumination, and not to forget, razor-sharp aesthetics. On the other hand, CBR650R is powered by 649cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four engine that has been updated for a stronger mid-range. In its BS6 guise, it now puts out 87PS at 12,000rpm and 57.5Nm at 8500rpm. CBR650R features new graphics, a revised LED headlight reflector profile, and a USB Type-C under-seat charging socket. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and riding comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which bike to buy, Kawasaki Z900 or Suzuki GSX-S1000GT?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict here as Suzuki GSX-S1000GT hasn't launched yet. So we would suggest you wait for the bike to get launched for a fruitful comparison. Stay tuned for further updates. Follow the link to get an alert when Suzuki GSX-S1000GT is launched. On the other hand, Kawasaki Z900 is a great pick. Kawasaki has launched 2021 Z900 in India at Rs 8.42 lakh (ex-showroom). The bike remains unchanged and still remains an excellent value proposition in the market.

Q. Which bike has the best braking system, Street Triple R, or Ninja Z900?
  • Ninja Z900
  • IDK ABOUT STREET TRIPLE R, BUT FOR Z900 THE REAR BRAKES ARE QUITE WEAK AS COMPARED TO FRONT BRAKES...
  • Triumph has not kitted the Triple R with the same braking setup as the RS. So, no Brembo M50 monobloc calipers, Brembo MCS levers and radial master cylinder. You get the entry-level (in the performance-motorcycling world) M4.32 monoblocs and a conventional brake master cylinder. It does shed speed rather quickly, with little to no ABS intervention when going hard on the front brake lever. At the rear, the ABS does kick in subtly. But if you have ridden the RS, the system on the R leaves you longing for a bit more sharpness. One particularly annoying thing about the brakes is the squeaky noise that is generated when braking from around 40-50kmph On the other hand, The new bike comes with four rider modes: Rain, Road, Sport, and Manual. This should help offer riders the confidence to push the bike a bit more than they normally would without electronics. Plus, there are two power modes too. What’s impressive is the fact that despite meeting the new emission norms, there has been no drop in power. The 948cc, in-line-four engine produces 125PS at 9500rpm and 98.6Nm at 7700rpm Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox with slip and assist clutch. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -Triumph Street Triple R Road Test Review
