Kawasaki Z900RS review - acceleration
Testing the acceleration of the Kawasaki Z900RS while not going above 7000rpm just after the first 1000 kilometers. Once I get it past 2500 kilometres I will rev it out to 8500rpms to extract peak horsepower.

    I brought the same bike 2022 for the same reason long travels and it’s reliability and I’ve had quite a few bikes but this would have to be the best all round and for what I want wouldn’t like the new model but must say if I could pick on anything it would be the seat but I haven’t ridden it enough yet so it may soften Will say also and I did do a lot of homework before choosing but I also chose this bike due to having a back fusion where this is the perfect bike as your sitting up straight and your legs are underneath you to absorb any big bumps or pot holes you can use your legs.

    Such a beautiful Bike. I am gonna take delivery tommorow. What I already had the Dealer put on are Crash Guards Front (Mustache) and back and for my Girl some footboards as well as the Tour Pak, with that huge integrated Backrest. Hitting two Birds with one stone. More Cargo Space and a nice Backrest for her. That made it necessary to change out the complete license Plate assembly and tail lights, because unfortunatly here in Germany we have giant license plates which would fit below the Tour Pak. Now Ive opted for a license Plate with integrated little LEDs for Brake and Blinkers, which makes the rear totally sleak looking. Mine is Chrome and Apline Green, because I am the rare breed that doesnt like black bikes. espacially not gloss black, maybe matt, but not glossy. Thanks for your Review and ride safely. God bless

    You should ride the old heritage classic before they changed them in 2018. They were a Cadillac! The new ones corner better and are more sporty but the old one is more planted on the highway and just feels bigger and more comfortable. I think the changed design wasn’t for the better but that’s just me. I’d rather have a road king when it comes to new models. But the old heritage was more comfortable than both the new ones

      They've improved the snatchy throttle of 2018/19 with better mapping but I think the newer models still idle above 1500rpm when cold. I know mine does and then drops down to just under 1000rpms after a couple of minutes.

      Agree. Most of the bikes I own are nakeds ... I've only had a few bikes with screens over the years ... I always wore an open face helmet when I was starting out ... and have to say I love the feel of the wind in the face that gives. But I do appreciate over longer distances on faster roads some wind protection does help. I've only had once bike where the buffeting was unbearable ... so I removed that screen and it was much better. Thanks for your message.

    Great review, lovely looking bike. Just curious to know how tall you are and how you find the riding position? Cheers

      Thanks Michael. I'm 181cms 5'11'' and find the riding position perfect. My feet are slightly back and I sit upright with a slight lean forward. It's a bike you sit on top of - not in .. and I can reach the ground with my feet flat.

      @motorcyclingdownunder thank you! It should be alright for me at 6'2 then. I plan to try and get a test ride soon and hopefully will have one of my own soon. Cheers

    A couple of useful accessories you may think about is the Ultimate Seat sissy bar relocation kit. It moves the sissy bar back 3 full inches for your passenger. My wife really noticed the difference. Also, JES Customs has a nice oil temp guage that replaces the stock oil cap. Quality products. I'm ordering up a Freedom 19" windshield which has a slight flip at the top. Should help with the airflow over 60 mph. I'll try to remember a followup comment after I test it out. This model is awesome. You picked a good one!

      JES also sells fork wind deflectors, which I found to be the cure for buffeting on my Street Glide
