Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kawasaki Z650
- Packed with features
- Claims to offer better mid-range torque than the BS4-compliant version
- Looks aggressive
Yamaha MT-03
- Engine performance is flexible enough to allow for slow city commutes and fast highway rides
- Great handling - feels light, changes direction quickly and feels stable when leaned too
- Design - the LED headlight looks aggressive and the MT-03 has that overall feel of a sporty and compact streetfighter

Kawasaki Z650
- Low ground clearance
- No electronic aids
- Engine isn’t exactly known to be exciting
Yamaha MT-03
- Cramped seat - no space for taller or larger riders to move around
- Firm suspension - suspension kicks back when ridden over really bad roads and even the slightly bad roads aren’t absorbed all that well
- Lack of features - ABS and a basic fully-digital console is all that it has. Misses out on a slip-and-assist clutch, quickshifter, traction control and even Bluetooth connectivity - things that its competition have
- Extremely expensive price tag

Worth every single penny
I am a huge fan of riding, and this bike delivers what almost every rider want , an aggressive approach and smooth handling. Just loved it , however, cost of maintenance and other stuff can get quiet expensive . If you are looking for an weekend kinda bike , then I'll recommend it but not for city (especially crowded cities like mumbai) where u hardly get good patch with low traffic , plus u will encounter speed breakers at the least expected place , so for everyday it's a NO. I cannot stress on how good it glides , even with heavy pillion . Overall a great package if your budget allows it
