    I bought one in 2018. After owning 18 other bikes over the years I have to say this is the most satisfying and fun to ride bike that I’ve ever owned. I added a one tooth larger front sprocket and sent the ECU out to remove the fuel cutoff between gear changes. I should also mention that the seating position is more comfortable than my R1200R.

    Spot on review. I have this bike and your review totally echoed my sentiments. I personally think that the lack of technologies in this bike will attract people who like to keep motorcycling simple just like in good old days. What’s your recommendation on tires, which ones do you recommend? While pushing hard in the corners I too feel that the tires need to do a better job. Liked and subscribed!

    I bought mine when they first came out, the Jaffa (orange-brown) in 2018. The original tyres are pretty crap, I’ve been running Bridgestone S22 which make a big difference. I’ve kept the exhaust standard because I reckon it sounds great the way it is. Kawasaki extras: heated grips, rear grabrail, centre stand. Non Kawasaki extras: Envirotech radiator guard, Translogic up-only quickshifter, Booster Plug to get rid of throttle snatch (it works), but ECU flash coming up soon. Best bike I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a few. The looks are stunning, that’s why I bought it in the first place as soon as I saw it at the dealers, but I haven’t regretted it.

Handles like a dream. Brings back so many memories. Finally found a café faring with a smoked screen for the candy brown and orange. She is comfortable beautiful and plenty fast. She gets looks and questions everywhere I go. Do yourself a favor and go get one. Even if you can only wash it and look at it. It will be worth it. Like I said, she makes me feel 18 again.

    I have owned old brit bikes my whole adult life until now at 62. So I'm more than familiar with that type of riding position. I absolutely remember the O.G. Z1 900. It was king till 1980 and trick out models remained some of the quickest nastiest bike,around..until the suzuki Gs 1100 in 1982...the new king...
    Anyway, I would know the difference between a speed shifter or ride modes on a bike bc 70 triumph bonneville didn't have all that...im selling off most of my old stock and plan on spending some of the money on a modern sport....ish...or sport touring bike to ride till I'm too senile to carry on. ..this z900 rs especially the se model is on my radar..as,well as some bigger boys like the fjr1300...thank you fir the vid, I'm getting mire good than bad information on thr z900.

    Big windshield and some engine guards with highway pegs. A cruise control lever to lock in a speed.. All set for a 400 Mile day.

    Kawasaki has let its loyal followers down on this bike.
    Way too Expensive in Europe, and particularly Ireland. 16,250 Euro???
    Crazy Price!!

    People who buy bikes and don’t get the suspension adjusted for them, don’t know what they are missing.
    Makes a huge difference if it is way off from factory, which it often is.

    Gorgeous bike, i wouldn't change anything. The stock exhaust sounds awesome but i wish it was black instead of chrome, that's the only thing that bothers me (minor).

    The only thing l would do to the bike would fit a more squarer type indicator unit like on the A4 GPZ 900R but other than that a beautiful bike

    That blurry speedo would annoy the heck out of me. I think I’ll go with the BMW instead.

    I owned (2) 1976 KZ 900's. The new 900's look amazing! With an additional 23hp, I can't wait for a test ride 😊

    These bikes are nice but I'm not a fan of the "snatchy" throttle response that riders mention with this bike.

    Great bike. Fuel cutoff can be eliminated by reflashing the ECM,also,if you map the ECU to it’s pre-EPA standart,engine runs cooler,lover cold start idle,and rpm are set to 10 300 insted of factory 9 600.

    It’s a very reasonably priced bike. How could it not be worth it ?

    Great video. Leaving nostalgia aside for a bit. Would this be a functional bike for the real world? To use a few times a week as a commuting bike?

    Ciao, questa moto mi piace un botto, ho solo paura sia troppo potente, mi intimidisce un po'... Non sono un esperto, ho 48 anni e ho avuto un paio di moto da ragazzo ( una CBX 125 e una Yamaha XT) ora ho ricominciato con un Hunter 350, ma l'anno prossimo ho intenzione di fare un upgrade. Che dici? Grazie per la tua opinione.
