I have had my z900 for 2 seasons. It is as easy to ride as a bicycle. I think it is very fine.
I'm just about to order one. Although I'm currently owning the Z900 little brother/sister the Z650. After test riding the 900 the 650 felt like a little tiny dirt bike. I was absolutely blown away from the power and sound of the engine. The stock exhaust sounds quite nice as well. It just wants to go. In the high RPMs the air intake just screams and the space around you starts warpping with a insane sense of speed. There is no way I'm ever going back🔥
Haha! Thanks for sharing! Feel free to subscribe, I'd love to hear back from you when you own it!
No comparison the 900 is so much better than the 650 the 650 rides just like the z400 I love the 900 its a beast and don’t need to spend a lot to make it really fast flash header and pipe thats all you need
Picking mine up tomorrow. This is my eighth review and the best of the bunch, aye? Thanks!
got a z900 as my first bike a week ago :) 800km later im so damn in love with this thing! cant wait to rev her up even higher after the break in period 💥💥
Love my Z900. Was a great step up from the 650. It's fast enough to hang with the sport bikes, but much more comfortable for daily use.
Thanks for watching. I just bought the Z900RS SE and I'll be featuring it on this channel a lot in the coming months. Feel free to subscribe if you're interested!
Nice review. Full of technical details. Thanks
Thank you fo the wonderful review, I am in Halifax Nova Scotia and waiting for my pre-ordered 2023 Z900SE. Looking forward to ride it in summer next year. Happy Holiday to everyone!!!
Awesome! Great bike! Feel free to subscribe! I'd love to hear your thoughts on a future video.
Detailed and engaging review! 👍🏻
Great video. Have seen 100s on z900. This was so honest and indepth. Thanks a ton
I learned a lot... thank you
I bought a Z900 in February. Loved it enough to buy a Z900RS in May. RS more comfy, but the Z is smoother, faster and tranny is a little smoother. Brakes on RS at the lever feel better, but the Z stops as well.Build quality on both are wonderful. Had an MT09 and don't miss it. Love smooth 4 cylinder bikes. Great video. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! It's great to hear your perspective on things. Feel free to subscribe!
I have 11k on my 2021 z900rs, and may trade it for a z900 se. I like my beautiful and comfortable z900rs, but a quick demo ride on a z900 revealed that bike to have a smoother engine response and shifting. Like both bikes very much, but there is that desire for variety. Life is short.
How would you compare the mt09 to the z900 as far as how they handle and acceleration?
@@hellraiserrec19 Handling is superior on Z. Acceleration thru the gears is so close. MT is more wheelie prone, Z will nail it top end. Z's engine is so much smoother. Z's brakes better. All in all, Z's my favorite.
Great review 👏👏👏
Great Detailed video! 👍 Nice

Love it excellent value Kawasaki 👍❤️
Great content ❤❤❤❤
What a great review!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for making the video. I am planning to buy Z900 next year,
this year I am enjoying the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
Thanks for watching!
This bike is absolutely everything that I want. Fuckin beautiful. Love the power to weight ratio, the engine size, the weight is pretty damn light, it's built for tall dudes (I'm 6'2), my first bike was a Kawi Ninja so it has nostalgia, I've been wanting a naked bike, it can hual a kid passenger no prob, and it starts and sounds like a dream. In love. Thanks for the review man.
im 6 feet and i find this bike a bit small and thus uncomfortable. 2021 model, 30k mileage, by me.
Ahhh..to be young again! Nice review.
Haha! You're as young today as you're ever going to be!
Just awesome bike. All rounder ❤❤❤❤
I agree!
Bought the 2022 50th anniversary edition, really nice fire cracker red color. Great bike.
Oh yeah! That bike looks great! Thanks for watching!
awesome bike
It really is! Thanks for watching!
we need a ninja 1000sx review Peter!! Great stuff!!!
We do! I love that bike!!
Great review! I was looking to upgrade from a mt07 and I really dont like the new mt09 look. You get a lot for the price on the z900.
There's great value in this bike, for sure! Thanks for watching!
My 2024 se needs a quick shifter that’s the one thing I’m mad about it needed mt09 technology
I dont have a street bike yet, only rode dirtbikes but want to get into street. Im between starting on a grom because its affordable or making the jump so i wont need to upgrade to the z900. Advantage of grom, i could get it much sooner as they are about $3000, and thats about how much my current dirtbike goes for so i could sell it (klx140g) my main complaint with my bike is 100% the speed and ive outgrown it a lot. The fastest ive ever gotten it is 63 but the fastest it actually likes is 40-45. And to keep up with my dad, hes on a klx300 duel sport, planning on grtting an adventure bike. Currently i have to be full throttle 5th gear to keep up with him. Hes gotten up to 75 but on his ive gotten 85-90 just because at the time i was about 80lbs lighter. Im 200lb he was around 280 now 240
My advice. Buy the Z400 or Z650. Either of those will give you PLENTY of power, and they're lower cost than the Z900. I drove a Versys 650 for years, and know of many other riders who find that the 650 is all the power they'll ever need. The 400 is great too. I'd happily ride one of those, even with years of experience!
How does the z900 seating position compare to ninja1000? is one more upright then the other or the same?
What year is this? I bought a base 2022 last April. Due to Cleveland, OH weather I only got 6 solid months of riding before I put her away. But still managed to put over 7k miles on her. I absolutely love her. Although I do ride very aggressively and take some stupid risks. She’s a bad influence on my decision making😂
This is a 2022. It's a great bike! I love hearing from owners! Feel free to subscribe, I'll have a lot more content on this bike and other bikes in the Kawasaki lineup. I just bought the Z900RS SE, so I'll have plenty of extra content on that too.
In regards to the Rideology app,do 3rd parties have access to info related to your riding though?
Speed,location,personal information,etc?
You'd have to read the privacy agreement on the app. Many apps on your phone will share information, many will not. I haven't dug into the exact details on the app.
So both side headlights are always on? Not like most older style bikes where one side is normal lights and the other side is high beam?
Yes. That's correct.
How do you get one in this color in 2023?
Only complain I have about my 2020 z900 is the stock seat is hard as a rock, 2 hrs. max is all I can do.
The Z900 seat is firm. As with any firm seat, it's going to work for some people, and not for others. It's not too bad for me, but I haven't ridden this bike for 2 hours straight, so I can't say if it would work for me or not on that type of ride.
I bought a soft seat on Amazon
Is the engine smooth enough not to need the riding modes? I can get a used 2019 $1000 cheaper. My mt09 was too manic to be in sport. Ive heard the z900 is not like the mt09 in that reguard.
This is a very controllable engine in my opinion.
@@PeterLoweOne Awesome thanks for the response! I guess I'll get a 2019 model then.
😊
Hey, how about z900 vs CB650R , its about the same price range 😬
I'm working on getting Honda's on the channel.
12:20 that leaking from exhaust is ok ?
That’s just water
Hi from UK
I like this! First from Europe/UK! Thanks for watching!
@@PeterLoweOne I'm really jealous of these modern bikes - all the safety features, like ABS etc.....
When you were brought up n the days of Norton Commandos, Honda 750-4 and the good old BSA.... You had to really train the synchronisation of your hands and feet!!!
I'd really like something like this, but I think those days have passed for me!!
@@herrtomas6729 It's funny, because I'm thinking back to my first bike, and yeah, it had DRUM brakes front and rear, terrible tires, and no power (Honda 250cc which was actually 234 cc) These bikes are space ships compared to that!
Honda 125; Honda 200; Yamaha XS400 was my first new bike in 1982 and had loads of poke.
Then rode CBR600 mainly, but really fancied Norton Commando.
Too much for my nerves now though…. My Raleigh Mustang eBike is my current favourite….
@@herrtomas6729 I remember having a friend with an older brother who had a CBR600 and I thought that was a perfect bike when I was younger.
HEY Mate do you rate the yellow ball
I'm not even sure what that means.
@@PeterLoweOne It's the Z900RS SE with yellow and black paint scheme. Nice!
@@TrustyZ900 AH!! Yeah, that bike is awesome. I have a video of it. I'm a big fan!
I’m saving money for Z900 SE.
P.S.
Tuned exhaust… still quite and looks terrible. SC project is perfect for Z900.
I have the Z900RS SE and I do like the Ohlins shock and Brembo brakes. I don't know that the average rider (like me) needs brembos but I've been really impressed with the Ohlins shock with the confidence it gives me in rough road cornering.
It sounds better Zed not Zee
So if your going to say the word zipper for example do you say zedipper?
Why does nobody talk about the discomfort of the pillion seat? I believe people are watching the videos to know that aspect of the bike as well.
This isn't the first bike that I'd recommend if you were regularly taking a passenger. If you take someone short distances, everyone will be fine, but if you want to take a passenger for longer trips regularly, there are better bikes.
@@PeterLoweOne can you please recommend me some similar category bikes to take my girlfriend out on regular weekly rides
First
Taking the crown, once again!
B4 watching... this is the worst shifting bike i have ever been on. I am constantly missing 1st to 2nd and 3 times now under power i have found neutral between 4th and 5th, And i am talking about 115 mph PLUS. i would have called myself out for lazy shifting after 2 times, but 3 is nah this gearbox is garbage. I did years on single and twin cyclinders and close to a year on an 05 R1 and never knew there was a gap between 4 and 5. WTF
Interesting? I wonder if something is out of adjustment. I've had my Z900RS SE on the road for over a month now, and I've hit neutral by accident twice, both of which were my own fault as it was a lazy shift. But I've found my gearbox to be very precise and although my 1st and 6th gear ratios are different than yours, the gearbox is shared between the two bikes. So it sounds like you should see if something is out of adjustment. Even the shift lever being just a hair out of adjustment for your preference could be an issue, but as I say, I haven't heard that complaint with this bike, so it seems like something is up with your particular bike or how it's adjusted for your riding style.
It seems fixable, is what I'm saying.
Did you adjust the clutch cable. Every one of these needed adjustment from the factory. My 2020 did that before I adjusted the clutch cable, not just at the handle, but at the clutch case as well.
I'm thinking about buying one but after reading about your shifting problems I might change my mind what year is your bike with about how meny mi. I don't want to spend my money that's takeing along time to save and get a z900 if it has shifting problems 🤔
@@vincentdavidson755 I just rolled over 3000 miles Saturday. its a 2022. Its happened a few times. 4th to 5th. But i think im just so used to how smooth it is, and i soft shift it.
@@snypa-ck7hn yes I heard how the back tire spend in damp or wet weather wonder if changing to a tire with more or a rain tire would be better my 1200 Harley tire spens in wet roads and wonder why they don't put a lot more croves in tires so it will grab better in the rain I know tire pressure can make some deference I would run a few pounds over what it calls for and another person told me about his clutch cable braking up buy the handle I have had that happen twice on my 1999 Harley 1200 s it's so old it's been a good bike very reliable about 150,000 mi. But it's wore out and I'm not going to put any money into it because I'm maybe going to buy a z900 kaw but if it has a lot of issues then maybe I would get the 900 rs kaw I heard it's very good bike a person with 40,000 mi said he only changes the oil and tires as far as any maintance so the motercycles shop in Vegas said they would have one in a few months so maybe I will wait I love the retro look like the old days of the kaw 900 rs I had a 1000 I bought used one time and ran it hard very fast for years and it never broke down , never had a clutch brake, on those bikes in the 80s and 70s so after reading your report I think I will wait and get the 900 rs in a few months the dealer today try to sell me the Z900 glad to read your report I know from what I heard that the 900 rs is a very good bike with out any trans problems think you for your report 🧝⚡🌴
Sounds like needs a sport exaust 😂
Be very hard to ride your girlfriend on the back I like the rest of the bike with 125 hp😐
