Kawasaki vs. Yamaha?

I just wonder...i've had Yamaha Fazer (2004), but i totaled it, so, i'm
planning to get a new bike...
Now it's new Kawaski Z750S out, and as i'm told, it's better than Fazer,
while price is about the same.
What do you guys think?

SleeperMan emerged from their own little world to say

For crashing, you need a Bandit.

 

Stick to a push-bike, until you've build up enough skill to stay on
something like a C90, then progress to a CB250 for a while. I don't suggest
you ever progress past a 500cc though. Sorry.

 

Bindits are also good for ditch surfing.

 

well, it wasn't my mistake...son of a bitch drove in front of me...

 

aha...i'll think about it...

 

Umm... I haven't ridden/rode/whatever either, but my brain struggles to
understand how the 750cc Kwak is going to be 'better' than the Fazor.

Better at what - going slower?

 

Eh?

 

Yes yes - we have ascertained I made an assumption.

Oi, OP - are you talking about the Fazor 600 or the Fazor 1000?

 

Hmm my first impression was that the OP meant a Fazer600. I'm not sure
but I'd bet the Kwak is quicker.

The bloke in Ride who's got a Z750 said that the suspension was pretty
poor and ISTR he'd replaced the rear shock. Other than that looks a nice
bike. Not so keen on the new Fazer but it's meant to be a pretty good bike.

 

The Z750 is the sleeved down Z1000, and makes 110 BHP.

Essentially it's a ZX9R engine with a narrower bore in a fazer style
chassis...

 

neither, it's a Faz_e_r.

 

"motorcycle"

 

ROFL!!!

 

I mean fazer 600 it has 98 hp, while kawa has 110, but torque data is more
interesting... according to akrapovic testing, fazer has only 60 Nm, while
Kawa has about 163 Nm!!! Imagine that... i don't mind if one goes 240 and
one 220, i don't intend to go that fast anyway...important is how it behaves
on the road...and here people say that Kawa is better...

 

Well, since i have only just over 55 kg, i think suspension is not of a
matter...

 

I had a loan of a Z750 while my Gixxer was ill. I loved it.

 

From i know, Z750 is almost identical as Z750S - latter is just some more
plastics differently shaped.

 

I think they look great.

Yep. One thing i think it's better on Kawa is analog meters. When i drove my
fazer in strong sun, i couldn't see RPM, so i was driving on blind...it does
however have digital for important stuff, like trip, fuel gauge, temp etc.
