Z400 2023 vs Z650 S ABS 2026

If straight-line speed is your priority, the Z650 S ABS takes the lead. With 22 HP more than the Z400, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Z400 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 23kg less than the Z650 S ABS, 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 Z400. Its seat height is 20mm lower than the Z650 S ABS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the z650 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
