One is sportbike the other is naked bike
Whats your preference? Where are you going to use this bike?
Really depends on you the rider, can't simply say 'this one better'
But of course modenasaki is more reputable
QJ Motor Srk 600 or Kawasaki ZX25R

I guess you are comparing them because they are both 4 cylinders engine + similar price but this isn't a fair comparison IMO..

Does it really have to be 4 cylinder?
You have other option like z650 at that price point Suggest you test the bikes first, mind you that zx25r is still a 250cc bike. Even with 4 cylinders it is still a small engine with low amount of torque |

try considering used bike also..
you can find some used bike with abs also like z900, gsx-s750 or cb650r I saw a guy selling used gsx-s750 at fb for around 38k want below 30k you can get gsr750, z800, xj6 and cb650f |

QUOTE(borealis @ Aug 24 2023, 09:23 PM) just ditch the qjmotor tbh, finding secondhand z900 is the best choice with your budget currentlydont fall for the brembo sweets they put on the qjmotor, nissin brake is just as good for our road also the srk600rc is pretty disappointing for a sportbike, too heavy at 225kg and not even 100hp they just slap the same engine from srk600 and put on a different coverset QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Aug 24 2023, 10:26 PM) I would suggest just top up very slightly more and get the z900 instead. That bike have superb value for money. The zx25r has traction control but with the limited torque output in that bike, honestly it isn't necessary I found that adding handlebar riser for sporty-naked bike like z250, gsx-s750 can improve the riding position to be more uprightIf only the Cb650r has stock then can try that as well but the riding position is slightly sporty. My Katana actually makes for a really nice daily commute bike because of the santai riding position, but you'll get pissed off keep having to refuel so often Doesn't even need much to add, just about 1 inch of height and it feels like a different bike This post has been edited by Patent: Aug 24 2023, 10:39 PM borealis liked this post

QUOTE(lowpro @ Aug 25 2023, 11:34 AM) I like the Z900 if they had a full fairing version. Never liked the naked bikes and that includes my own current bike as well... save money and get the ninja 1000sx or suzuki s1000gt lowpro liked this post

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Aug 25 2023, 04:18 PM) Assuming your cables/hoses and wiring are long enough. If you are lucky, you get enough slack. If not, that relatively cheap upgrade ends up costing you a lot more. I'm looking at you, Kawa z900. The newer z900 might have a problem with riser because tft screen over the handlebar but the old one with lcd should be fine I guess? Similar dashboard with latest z250I have 1" risers on my dominar, makes hell a lot of difference. I also have put on a 2.5" headlamp/binacle riser as well...much better lighting throw/distance and also raised the windshield without having putting a taller windshield or a extender. As for the brakes. I have no problem with even the old style nissin axial brakes on the base z900 (the SE get brembo radial brakes). Plenty of stopping power for the street. |

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Aug 25 2023, 10:35 PM) I see handlebar risers are a super common accessory installed for Cb650r owners but might need to get creative on the cable routing. What app is thatI refuel usually once a week, but my daily commute is only 20km per day excluding my trip for lunch which varies The max I've fueled up is 11.2L, the bike got a fuel gauge, distance to empty and 2 levels of low fuel warning ![]() |
