- If you didn't know already, Chris used to be a racer and he's got the itch to get back on track. So the guys for Kawasaki called and offered their Z900 track beast and a spot with No Limits Racing at Anglesey. No practice or qualifying would mean he starts at the back of the grid of the Streetbike Cup race.

This guy just oozes cool - lots of talent, drive, intelligence, good looks, humility, and a great sense of humor. Chris is the perfect "ambassador" for the motorcycle industry and motorcycle racing. He is someone who can relate equally well to motorcycle fans of every stripe - from casual riders to top tier racers and everybody in between. It's no wonder Kawasaki like working with him. I've been a fan since seeing him for the first time testing the H2R. It doesn't matter if you're a hooligan street racer, adventure rider, weekend warrior, motorcycle commuter, or trail rider - with Chris' unique blend of technical understanding, hooligan tendencies, relatable personality, and sense of humor, there's always something to look forward to in his next video. Well done, Chris, as usual!
Well said, sir.
And a ponytail.
Chris is a real flesh-and - blood guy, the motorcycle industry in one finger...
Brilliant! Well done Chris, great to see the Z900 taking some wins!
My favourite bike reviewer is now my favourite bike racer as well! The world is now officially perfect. Well done lad! 🏆
Congrats with the comeback Chris.
And you’re right about the Z900 - it’s easy to discard it beforehand because it’s very much built to be a roadbike, but Kawasaki got a lot of things right when they designed the chassis.
The channel is just getting better and better. Chris' antics are utterly entertaining and unmissable.
He's the "hardworking" hero of this channel. Hardworking in quotes because, damn, what a job
You did the z900 proud mate. Now that Rossi is retiring and you're getting back into it, you now move up to my favorite racer. 🍻
Top work Chris. Great to see you buzzing for this, and can't wait to follow your progress as the season progresses.
You are far too modest Chris. On a new bike, an unfamiliar track & from the back of the grid. You are all class. Great work mate. 😊
I'm a big fan of the 948cc engine in this bike. Melted-butter smooth everywhere, fat torque right out of the hole, no dips in power development, very easily controllable throttle, chassis is very confidence inspiring and wheels give great feedback about traction and balance. It does need cartridges and a shock for serious work, but what bike under 11k doesn't?
In my mind there's no better bang for buck on in the naked class than the GSX-S1000 or Z900.
New 2023 Z900 now comes with ohlins suspension😛😛
@@Legend57. Z900SE?
@@exothermal.sprocket Yepp😀
Have you seen it?
@@Legend57. Not the SE model.
Congrats on the win, Chris! Now I wonder what future product will come from this Z900 experiment. Kudos to Kawasaki for putting this on.
Way to go Chris! Just goes to show you are never out of racing, loved the video and congrats on the wins!
What a great video 👍.
A story to tell, anticipation, action, acceleration all to finish with a great result 🏁🏆.
I hope Chris continues to chronicle his racing journey 🤞.
Love watching any motorcycle racing from the pits to the chequered 👍.
AWESOME!!!
That made me smiles for a long time. Thank you so much for this one!!!
Chris you are the man! On road, off road and on the track you are outstanding, even a bit of wheelie action can't wait for the next instalment 👍
This bike always had a good chassis and good motor. The budget standard suspension and brakes work well on the road but obviously needed an upgrade for the track. Now if only Team Green would produce an R version with said upgraded goodies and a wicked paint scheme then, I would be seriously be tempted to get one. And well done Chris. You sir are a talent. More please.
Bloody awesome, Chris! Amazing performances. Looking forward to the future 😀👍
I had a smile the entire time, great job. You’re charismatic and humble, and I love Kawasaki so it doesn’t hurt either.
Every time I see Chris on a video I watch it , never met the bloke but feel like he’s my mate , Keep up the good work
I took a Z900 for a test ride a couple of years back. Great bike. Settled on a KTM 690R Duke, but if the Z900 had looked like this one…
Shoulda got the Z
Fantastic comeback Chris, made for great viewing 👍🇬🇧🏍
Absolutely brilliant video lads proper genuine ear to ear grin on Chris’s face
Can’t wait for more
Congrats Chris! Great video… more, please!
Totally agree - more please!
My mans , i loved that, can't get any more entertaining than one of my most favourite and enthusiastic reviewers goes racing, that's awesome, and i also love that you chose the kawasaki naked for racing ! Great approach!
I want more of this stuff from Chris 😊 amazing to see cool bikes and fun racing.
Great video Chris and look forward to your future adventures. Cheers.
Awesome to see you back, did have me scratching my head when I saw you at donny! 😂
Brilliant video. Keep ‘em coming.
Brilliant.
Also great as I was late to the party for your racing career. Part 2 has started 💪
Late response, but that's ok. Impressive that a few upgrades makes a Z900 competitive. I've owned many bikes through the years, and this thing is a blast. Excellent power delivery. Brakes aren't Brembos, but still get the job done. Super smooth and even with stock exhaust, sounds excellent with the wicked intake roar. All in all, have no plans to part with this fine machine.
What a pilot that lad is, he’s the best on You Tube to watch ripping a bike a new you no what in reviews and this, epic stuff Chris, onwards and upwards lad 🕺👌🙌🏼
Thanks. Great video. Much appreciated.
Love my Z9. Full exhaust ,air filter, mapped. ZOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!
Awesome work, great to see.
Smart and a gifted rider! Well done man.
genuinely loved this video, if you do go racing please make sure you film it and do a video series just like this.
Wow what a gorgeous track!
Grats!
Well done Chris, great riding your've still got it. 👍🇦🇺
I want one!!👍😎 Great stuff!! 🏁
Listen, Chris - you really come across as a genuinely great guy and I wish you best of luck and success in all of your endeavors! If you're ever in the US, specifically Colorado, I'll give you a place to stay and I'll take you out on some awesome rides, good food and great drinks here in the Rocky Mountains - you have my word on that!
Thanks, we'll keep it in mind. Cheers

Such a genuine nice guy. Congrats Chris
What a come back, your a bit good at this racing lark, well done Chris 👍
Great video, awesome riding and results - you've got skills!👏👍👍
hey chris - thanks, great as always - have fun n be safe -
Racers must hate it when Chris turns up lol crazy talent
Congrats mate.. Looked the bollox dicing on the 9👏🏻
Here comes Chris Walker!!, well done mate enjoyed this video a lot.
Excellent content. More racing please!!!
The natural. Well done, Chris! 👍
❤❤❤
WOOHOO, as soon as I saw you take a load of places in the first few corners it's like this is going to be a good day 👍
Best Bike vid I’ve seen for ages.
PURE Brilliance , Regards from Dublin :-)
Congratulations!!!,good races
That sound is just 😍😍😍
I love this guy's enthusiasm!
Best video this year
That was awesome to see what the Z900 is capable of. I recently purchased a 2023 model, only thing I feel need upgrading is the suspension, other than that its the perfect bike
Damn that was fun to watch!!
Love your content and always watch (from the USA) when I see it. Looked like a riot, glad it worked out and went your way-we all need those small victories and bits of incredulous luck when things go our way in life!
Really cool bike, wish the nakeds would come racier like that out of the box, it's a shame that you have to spend $$,$$$ to get decent suspension on a stock naked bike. I've got a garage full of superbikes, some really exotic kit in fact.... but the bike I seem to want to ride the most anymore is my fiance's Street Triple 765 RS. Great time to be a motorcyclist with all of the options available these days but they don't all have to be heart attack serious with a heart attack serious price. Just give me a decent, basically competent bike with good suspension and I'll line up to buy.
This was great. Chris is the man.
Congratulations Chris, let’s see more, more more please
I love this guy, so cool and talented...
Awesome stuff to Chris, Kawasaki and No Limits. I'll get some penguins in the post for your next run at Anglesey ;)
Love Anglesea, great track!
Great riding man.👍
Well done Chris and the weather played ball for you.
can you tell me a bit more about adjusting the front forks and rear spring ready to race. what brand do you use. thank you greetings from belgium
Congratulations 🥳
Wow!! I wish a could ride half as good as that!:) awesome
Well done! What lap times did you manage round there?
Love it!
I knew that Chris lad was some pilot !! 🤙🏻😉
Great stuff, you certainly know your was around a motorcycle 👍👍😂👍👍
Brilliant 👍
"21" Great race number, go for it 👍
This. More of this. Such a brilliant video, such a brilliant rider. Love this sort of content alongside the usual brilliant reviews too. I'm helping JHS at Aberdare this weekend so I will definitely come and say hi (read: Fanboy 😂)
Please do, we'll be there filming Chris so come and say hi!
@@BikeWorldTVshow will do! 😎👍
Mad results after a 7-year hiatus. The man has skills!
More, more, more!! ❤️
We're filming more racing at the weekend.
Super entertaining
Just like you, i used to race my beloved race prepped yamaha R1 at the VIR, even raced a few times against AMA racers (against josh herrin too), and I've sold it now, now I'm back in my home country (india) looking for a relaxed do it all bike, mainly a street bike.
Chris your the man!!!
The Z900 is very very underestimated bike on the market!
I agree.
a chat with kawa technicians will be a cool bonus !!!
This guy is great
You rock. Now go racing on that FTR1200 😎 haven't seen that one evolve.
What did you put on the Z900 to make it to a race bike, I have a Z900 too I want to make it like that
Hoon + racing + grin = 👍
Good on ya Chris
Can we make this the first million view video with zero dislikes in history please?
Good day all round 👍🏻
We drive 7+ hours to go to Anglesey - it is epic !
More please
Chris and Bike World team, come to Indonesia - Mandalika International Circuit next year! It`s the new circuit for us. Hopefully, we`ll be hosting MotoGP in 2022.
What class are you racing this in?
Simply unbeleavable. That much fun with a z900 on the track. How did you improve shock and fork?
A few brands offer cartridges for installation inside the forks, essentially converting them to full supersport forks (compression & rebound damping adjustment, also spring preload adjustment). Rear shocks on most things in this class are very budget and basic. Replace those with a good 3-way adjustable. Front and rear coil springs need to be set to your body weight. When a bike is carving high-G curves on a track, the force will compress suspensions and effectively reduce ground clearance in corners. Also when leaned over, a suspension is naturally less able to battle bumps due to telescoping at 45-50° angle to the bump, that's when chassis flex is important to maintain traction.
Chris in Thug Life mode.
From the video, time for Kawasaki to make a Z900R version for 2022.
"Never meant to be a race bike"
Memories of MiniTwins 2007 😊
Easily won the warm-down wheelie contest, too... unsurprisingly 😉
Only shocked that you'd never sampled Anglesey before now!
well done chris! .
Great result.
If Kawasaki or MSS made a Z900 with that suspension and kit, people would buy them.
Chris Racing, isn't that what we all want to watch ?
Aberdare park is a short tight course with no run offs. Looks scary.
