Best Japanese 4-cylinder Naked Bike of 2025? Suzuki GSX-S1000 vs Kawasaki Z900 SE vs Honda Hornet SP

Three classic Japanese four-cylinder bikes in a direct comparison – who builds the best naked bike from Japan?
We put the Suzuki GSX-S1000, the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP, and the Kawasaki Z900 SE head-to-head and take a very close look:
How do these refined inline fours perform out on the country road?
Where does the focus lie: comfort, emotion, or performance?
And how different are the concepts, despite the same engine layout?

Once again, all bikes in this video are running on the identical Bridgestone S23 tire – a sport tire that delivers grip, stability, and feedback on a very high level. Testing was also done in the Arai Quantic helmet, which impressed all riders with top comfort and aerodynamics.
➡️ Attention, four-cylinder fans: here you’ll see which concept still convinces today!
➡️ And which bike will earn the recommendation of the 1000PS crew?
