Kawasaki Z900RS 50th Anniversary Edition first ride review
มุมมอง 3.2Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Join me as I go for my first ride on this Z900RS 50th Anniversary edition (2022 model). Should be interesting, I had a brand new Z900RS in 2018 and it tried to kill me! I ended up returning it to Kawasaki and getting a refund, so hopefully this experience is a little better. If it goes as good as it looks then we should be very happy indeed. The great roads of Wales are a fantastic place to try...

Good idea perfect introduction to off roading, confidence building , learning the right stuff & in a like minded group .❤
You have inspired me to give it a go. Many thanks X
Excellent stuff, am sure you won’t regret it👍
You haven't lived until you've driven a UNIMOG. 61 degree hill climb. Well, that's what they're RATED for. On a good day in the right conditions with the right driver - IF you can get enough traction - maybe a little bit steeper than that!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
That sounds awesome! We found ourselves leaning on all the cambers, funny how it feels much steeper than it is in reality😂
Addendum. Forgot to say once Oem removed & remap, dyno graph shows power went up to 112.8 BHp @ rear wheel & torque at tyre was 69.88FtLbs - quite an increase & very feel able, stacks of fun!
Marvellous bike, I have one also. I think you'll find that if you also replace the restrictive oem header pipes with a Delkevic set, you'll be amazed at how much the engine becomes unleashed. It's certainly fully awake in doing so, the extra pull is quite startling. Also, w/ the delkevic it has the brackets in place to restore the shield you've had to leave off. Oh, you lose about 10Kg in weight also. My remap company don't charge for subsequent tweeks, maybe Jordan are likewise? Cheers!
Excellent stuff, that’s real interesting. I’ll have to look into that. Sadly the weather has turned so it’ll be next year now👎👎 going to be a long winter!
Why take this bike on that road? Wales 😏
It’d be more fun now as someone has cut the speed cameras down! Problem is trying to get footage that is TH-cam friendly. We’re surrounded by lovely roads but on the faster roads the front wheel will be up more than down and the speeds can escalate quickly!
I have a non-factory 2024 V4 Tuono. I keep it in SW France because the UK roads do not allow 'proper' enjoyment. Bar risers make it extremely comfortable. A bit thirsty though.
Nice one👍 totally agree on it being a bit thirsty but def worth it. I think my bar risers are only 1cm, but as you say does make a big difference.
I went to look at one yesterday same colour and 50th anniversary I’m so tempted to buy it
Excellent stuff, I’m sure you wouldn’t regret it👍 I’ve just posted another video with the Yoshimura exhaust I’ve fitted.

Lets not get to upset the day is very near when the police force will have more to worry about than picking on us mostly law abiding citizens on motorcycles i for one won't be stopping to help them
That W⚓ copper was auditioning for a starring role on the new Muppet show.
When you get older you can buy a 350 Royal Enfield and go so slow that you can really enjoy the scenery. However dont ride one down your favourite road as its very frustrating! Loved the video!😎
Thanks for watching! Never ridden a Royal Enfield but I do fancy a go👍 We should have another Snowdonia trip on TH-cam soon👍 As you say, it’s a truly stunning place.
if you do 30 in a 60 and someone is doing 60 which is the legal limit they are gunna have a suprise when they spot you round a bend not going quick enough ive had this happen to me i want to ride and enjoy not die so pleass if its a 60 do 60 if there is signs and warning then do as they advise but im sorry dont got 3 in a 60 then 60 through a 20 ive seen enough hahah
I genuinely feel sorry for the local people in this area. Their appointed police officer to uphold the law and keep everyone safe is evidently incompetent and is showing signs of illness. He is a danger to himself, a disappointment to law abiding citizens, an embarrassment to his hard working colleagues, a waste of tax payer's money, a drain on national resources and a disgrace to the good people of Wales.
Tell him what you use it for is none of his business. It’s taxed insured etc and that’s all he needs to know.
this cop is short of a bit of training or better still should seek employment in a more (for him) useful occupation, litter picker, traffic warden, speed camera operator? (no forget that one) he would need to much training, shirt pinner, struggling to come up with any other likely jobs, he would require to much training. oh one more chance (in the DOLE QUEUE).
If this is true this copper is a complete moron and should be sacked what a complete tit
It was refreshing to watch a couple of riders just having an enjoyable safe scenic ride.
But you got a ticket?? 😮
Well no, we didn’t get given any paperwork at the time - but I’m not sure if that’s still the norm. We then didn’t hear anything from anyone, so all a bit odd.
@@mattbikes46 I’m sorry you went through that. Absolutely unreal. Keep up the safe riding together.
This is why the police have lost the respect and support of the public. Who would want a police like that. Police don't have time, shortage of staff, not being paid enough!!!!!! You'd never see the police stopping bikers in West London going on pavement and riding dangerously or those with loud pipes or not wearing helmet.
What a tosspot, one of the reasons I don’t want to ride in wales….
Do they have intelligence tests for these idiot's when they join up!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Traffic cops are the same in all UK provinces lol and apart from your details you do not have to tell him jack&sh1t
Going too slow IS driving without due care and attention.. if you cant maintain a reasonable speed relative to the speed limit of the road, and the current road conditions (which were as optimal as Wales EVER sees) YOU are causing an obstruction to other road users, and also causing a hazard. If you want to do 20mph, stay in town, if your on national speed limit lanes.. do the national speed limit. It really is quite simple. Also, leave our farmers trying to work alone, trying to get them in trouble, you clearly dont get how we do things in Wales and frankly, your opinion is not only irrelevant but its incorrect. Dont come here if you dont like it. We wont miss entitled people have too many of them already.
I think we said this to Mr Policeman. Next time we’ll 60mph down these lanes and he can come and pull out of a hedge!
Tyrant
What a complete twat. You were quite right, you had given him the information once, thats enough. "It's a question I have to ask" ... but it's not a question you have to answer.
Obviously not qualified for the real world, his colleagues would make fun of him, well done posting the Anti biker
Thank God this was not in England, as for the name HEDDLU why would you put your head in a Lu ? strange humans the Welsh, must be the awful wet weather there…
Never talk to them, always film them. Know your rights inside out. Watch Crimebodge, Focus Pocus, PTTP.
Is this "in the public interest"? Less than useless in this example.
This cop should be fired!
What has happened in the end?
Absolutely nothing, we never heard a thing!
I was looking at the RS,and the Z900. I ended up buying the ZX4RR. I think i'll buy the RS in a year or 2.
Cracking choice. We’ve got a couple of ZX4RR videos on the channel with more to come. We had a few days on the IOM with one!
@@mattbikes46 thanks mate,i'll check 'em out.
Beep your horn at the prick.
So what about cyclists.. they are going to have to pedal, really fast lmfao
Jobs worth cop
He said "He has to ask if it's for Business or Pleasure" rubbish hope you put in a complaint.
100% correct, not sure he followed police procedure at all! Not caught on camera, but he told us it was an offence to not be able to produce our licence…which I don’t believe is true. We sure did, we got an apology👍
It was probably the highlight of his day.🤦🏻
This copper is a petty little pedantic moron. You are not legally obliged to tell the police whether you use your vehicle for business, leisure, social or domestic. Don't answer!
That coppers' poor wife
Nice machine. Aye your lucky to own it.
Cop was fishing !!
Dick heads everywhere especially by the cops . Overall they are too lazy for any sort of work that is why he is waisting his time and tax payers money. Ireland
This oink just makes me so angry and makes me despise them all !
What a sad pathetic little man that copper is.
I'm totally with you about idiot not driving to the speed limit. Steve
Can anyone explain to me the reason behind the comedically large gap between the rear wheel and the rear mudguard? I just don't understand the reason for the huge space.
I think the problem is all the ancillary bits like the mudguards are added after the designer has done their thing. You see it often, rear mudguards just make lovely bikes look a mess! However, it’s gone as I’ve fitted a tail tidy!
Love the z900rs. Am an older rider getting back into it after many years so don't know know if it would be wise to get one yet. What do you think about them for a newer rider.At the moment riding a royal enfield interceptor which I'm really enjoying. Great bike, great channel 🏍👍
Thanks for watching👍 I think you’d be fine with it, it’s really neutral and easy to ride. Power delivery isn’t threatening, so you can ride as fast or slow as you want. Prob the biggest difference will be the size and weight, although it carries it’s weight well…once moving feels nimble. Try and get a test ride, be real interested to see what you think👍
@@mattbikes46 thanks for reply, we're just off for a ride now, it's a nice spring day here in new Zealand.😀
That’s so cool, enjoy! Definitely autumn here so very envious.
Hi Robert I am also an older rider I bought the Z650 rs which I can highly recommend plenty fast enough and handles perfectly brilliant for the roads in North Yorkshire Hope this is useful Cheers 👍
@@MrJacko132 Thanks for that, have looked at the 650 they look like nice bikes, and to be honest probably as big as you need.👍
Lovely! My father rode the original back in the 70s and I'm trying to convince him to get one of these.
He def should! Be really interesting to see what he thinks👍
