Z900 2026 vs MT-10 SP 2023

If straight-line speed is your priority, the MT-10 SP takes the lead. With 43 HP more than the Z900, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. Both bikes share a similar footprint on the scale, with only a negligible 1kg difference between them, so handling characteristics will depend more on center-of-gravity than raw weight. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Z900. Its seat height is 25mm lower than the MT-10 SP, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the mt10 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
