If straight-line speed is your priority, the Z900 takes the lead. With 14 HP more than the Monster SP, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Monster SP has a clear advantage. Weighing in 26kg less than the Z900, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Z900. Its seat height is 20mm lower than the Monster SP, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the monster if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the z900 if you want the alternative brand character.
