Question 4

Q. Which bike has the best braking system, Street Triple R, or Ninja Z900?

Answer

Ninja Z900

Answer

IDK ABOUT STREET TRIPLE R, BUT FOR Z900 THE REAR BRAKES ARE QUITE WEAK AS COMPARED TO FRONT BRAKES...

Answer

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.

Question 5

Q. Kawasaki Z900 or Triumph Street Triple 2020 RS?

Answer

Selecting between the Kawasaki Z900 and Triumph Street Triple RS would depend on certain factors such as your budget, brand preference, serviceability, engine preference, etc. The Street Triple RS retails at Rs. 11.35 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) while the Z900 is priced at Rs. 8.34 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). In terms of performance, the Z900 gets a bigger 946cc in-line four cylinder engine that puts out 125PS at 9500rpm and 98.6Nm of torque at 7700rpm, which is the highest in its class. On the other hand, the Street Triple RS employs a 765cc in-line 3-cylinder engine that makes 123PS at 11,750rpm and 79Nm at 9350rpm. The Triumph Street Triple is a fantastic no-nonsense friendly big bike with great performance, phenomenal intuitive handling, and top-drawer kit. It does skimp on features and looks a bit bland but it seriously knocks it out of the pack in the VFM department. Whereas, the Kawasaki Z900 is one of the most bang-for-buck inline-four naked big bikes out there.

Q. Z900 or TNT 600?

Answer
