I’ve been ridding for 35+ years love team green all good. Wish I could ride Z type bikes again but I’m a bit to tall and old these days. A word of advice from someone who has been there done that. It’s ok to ride it like you stole it, but pick your spots and be smart, it’s easy to get careless when your in the moment. Enjoy that new bike but never get complacent and let your guard down keep your head in the game. Lots of stupid people driving these days distracted by their phones. Listen to that inner voice that sometimes says “I better not” not now. Ok enough of my old man advice be safe because ridding at my age is even more fun !

"You're either a Kawasaki fan already, or you're not a Kawasaki fan Yet. There's no in between." Just Loved this..so true..

Out of 20 to 30 reviews that I have watched on this bike... This has been the best by far 👍

I’m 52 and just purchased the 2020 Z900 plasma Blue. It’s an amazing machine. Super comfy! Don’t say you are too old, just go ride one and your youth will come back for sure! Super fun machine for us older guys that can’t handle leaning over the tank like we did in our 20’s and 30’s. The best bike I have ever owned!

I love the cyclist staring at you at the start with envy no doubt

Thx for the decent and straight to the point review. Thumbs up man.

This is a straight from the heart no BS honest review. The world has lost such reviewers. Loved every second of it. Am a fan already and lover those wheelies and those cyclists envying you!

As a proud American, I have to say you are one of the best reviewers on KZfaq and Bike World is one of the best channels!

Kawasaki has really upped their game in the last few years across their entire model line up!

Very good. I do agree, lovly bike. I have a 2017 mod Z900 performance. I hav driven 35.000 km so far. Kawasaki Z fan 💚 Great mc Roads in Northern Norway 🇳🇴

Have a '22 black and blue 900. This thing is impressive. Have had scores of bikes and this one puts a smile on me every ride. It looks cool and goes like stink. No complaints, except isn't the greatest for two up. Proud to ride one. Super bright headlight too- lets the dummies know you're coming!

Great review, I’m so happy to see the Z getting the love it deserves. I’ve got a 2010 z1000 in the garage, and it’s my favorite. Cheers!

Love this review. I’ve watched a lot of them and this one is the best. Thanks!

Have to admit I really miss you doing the reviews. Your directness and wit make watching reviews a MUST SEE. Keep me coming.

loving my z9 since day one, definitely a Kawasaki fan now! great straight to the point review!

Wish you a great season in 2020 Really like the z900💚 Cheers 🦾

I’m sold dude, I’ve always loved the Z900, but it lacked mode selects... now that it has them... 😉 how YOU DOIN Z900?!

Top soundtrack.. both the bike and background music during wheelies!

Another no B.S. review from a Rider with enough seat time to have an opinion.Thanks...

Sharp video with a unique perspective!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Another practical and informative review, Awesome.

god this guy is awesome. was not a fan of this bike before and i love kawi after this video now i want all 5 haha

Great 👍 review, I just subscribed to your channel, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

Great review and great looking bike, thanks.

Bought one of these in '17. Geared it up with new sprocket set, it will fly!

I love this dude casually leans against the wall, like a mate talking to you.

watching this video makes me love my 2018 Z900 a lot more

Fabulous Review thanks a lot

Thank you! Thanks a lot for the first usefull review on the riding experience. Already watched like 20 other videos with people just throwing numbers around and not talking about anything of importance

Great review thanks, I now have one, Have had it about 6 weeks but lockdown is kiiling me ( in Melbourne ) But for the times I have rode her so far I am absolutely in love with her. Power is so smooth and has plenty of it. Looks fantastic ( I have Black with Red decals ) I have put a Yoshi Alpha on her and waiting on the headers but to be honest even the stock sounds great on this bike, I will do a full review on it when I can get out for a proper ride as just like this review, They all help immensely, Certainly helped me make a purchasing decision I don't regret. Thanks again mate!

What a nice review. Getting mine as soon as I can order one here in Holland!

2018 version turned me into a kawasaki fan man ; awesome machine

Great Design Change By Kawasaki Great Console To Play With Overall Looks And Feel Like A New Z900❣️

Excellent video!! Very well done. I'm considering a Z900 / R9T / SV650 or the new Trident. Different bikes for sure, and will enjoy testing them all. (I was also considering a Guzzi V7III, but decided not to go that way because of reliability issues I've heard about).. Just love that Z900! ❤️

Straight to the point! Loved it! Also the intro wheelie was lit af! 🔥

This kind of rig is why "middle" nakeds continue to hold up the market. Great all around performance, plenty of excitement, great value, and dead reliable. What's *not* to like?! Always appreciate the objective reviews, too. Thanks.

"Mid-range" bike sounds logical...

Fantastic review! What a cool bike!

Great riding and awesome review. Just sold my very fun CB650F and put my deposit down on a more fun 2021 z900 red/black. Love the variety of accessories available too.

I’d class it as a super middleweight. Although this particular bike feels more like a light heavyweight 👊

an awesome video tons of information thank you very much im just about to get my z900 thank you again i have subscribed and liked! drive safely

Great first look at the new updates! One thing I'm wondering, and this may be beneficial to many viewers if you were to add it in as part of the review on all the bikes.. If you could makes references or suggestions as to how the bikes ergonomics would work for both taller and shorter riders, and how you think the suspension would be for someone either lighter or stouter. For some reason when most reviewers reference bike "Fit", they usually do so in terms of whether or not it would fit shorter riders, but thats only one half of the scale. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing many more exciting new 2020 reviews. Great jacket, Cheers.

What a good review mate!!!

Great bike! I had a z650 performance last and found it a bit too small and also hated the clocks but this new 900 has the new clocks so I'm just waiting for a performance edition to come along! Great review by the way!.

Drive safe beautiful peeps, ill get my Z900 2020 around first March

Thanks, for honest review.

Considering that the dash and headlight was the only thing that I didn't absolutely love about the 2019 Z900... I think I just decided what I'm getting as a second bike.

This guy is one of the best motorcycle reviewers out there!

"Put it in rain mode, beat the shit out of it, you'll feel better."

good review. do you actually setup sag before doing your review or are they factory settings?

Thanks for a great review. Where did you get your jacket?

Great bike I have the 68 model and I love it

Thanks for the review.

Best thumbnail!

Great review. Thank you.

As usual a slick and informative review, which magazine do you write for john ?

Dream bike 😍 oneday it will be on my hand

I've been in love with this bike since I first saw it. Specifically the 2020 silver/blue coloring was an added bonus and confirmed my choice. Too bad they changed it for 2021.

Fantastic value for money.

Great review, thinking of this one for my next bike. How comfortable is it over say 100 mile journey?

Tht thumbnail is Really awesome

Love Kawasaki, Looks like a GREAT RIDE! Defiantly my next buy! Wat is that catchy tune playing during the wheelies and at the end of the video?

Nice review 👍

It just suck you off on corners? Think i know what bike i’ll be buying next then 😏😅

Nice review. What's the jacket sir, its suit with the bike well!!!

Cool into bro

0:18 - Yellow helmet was like 'Dang, I need to change my hobby!'

Awesome video! What kind of helmet did you wear?

I loved my drim bike love from Nepal

I really like this newest Z900. it seems like they have remedied much of the questions and concerns I had about it...

im getting my 2021 in 7 weeks! i cant waite

Nice review, thanks. I ride winding roads just like in your video so enjoyed the footage Love the bit about rain mode on the way home from a bad day. I'm trading up from a CBR500R. The 2021 MT 09 and Z900 are options. Sounds like the Z is a plush ride with better midrange roll on power and the MT has better tech, quick shifter and blipper etc. In NZ the z900 is STG1300 more expensive than the base MT09 and STG400 more than the MT 09SP. I like your review of the Z and the smooth four, but perhaps the MT is a better deal?

Hi , just wondering when will the KTM 1290 super Duke press ride will be? By the way nice review, I love the intake sound on this and on the z1000

I have the 2017 and love it!

I agree. If there were no emission regulations this would still be a 750, so still a middleweight in my eyes 👍

I Love my Kawasaki

Kawasaki should make a sport tourer based on this bike. Like Yamaha did with the mt series. Versys is yesterday's news. John, once again you are excellent. Best reviewer out there.

Love you mate

Great bike apart from the fact that like so many bikes today its only really been designed for solo riding with no real seat for a pillion such a shame.

I’m coming from a 2019 650 ninja and am thinking of getting this bike .. you think you could do a 3 hour highway trip on this bike and not be too uncomfortable?

Yes ❗ Pop🆙the clutch ✌️😁⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have a 2018 Z900 and even if this 2020 is a upgrade with new display and rider modes I simply LOVE my Z900, I like that it do not have all those things getting in the way of me controlling the bike! .. such an awesome bike to ride !

Kawasaki needs to bring back the Z1R, that was a sweet bike!!

I love z900 2020 wow

Wow your wheelies are really head turners for sure. Awesome video.

Hate to say it but it needed the riding modes and traction control. All its competitors were there years ago and even the z900rs. It must have cost Kawasaki a lot of sales.

Damn, the jacket is sweet, which model is it?

Just curious if you think one could learn to wheelie on this bike or should you start on a smaller bike, ive already started basics on my 300 two stroke

We could call the category "light heavyweight".

Great review. Thank you for the no BS, call it like it is. I'm really torn between this, the new Striple RS and a no mileage 2018 Brutale 800 the dealer is giving me a great deal on. Would love to hear your thoughts on my dilemma.

Loved the wheelies but the now modern electronic intervention is with all the bikes for European standards at least it let's you do some good fair test as usual keep the good stuff coming

Yessssssssssss!

Test riding nakeds. Have to say that the z900 is much smoother in terms of throttle response than either the MAT09 or GSXS1000. The riding position is not too upright like with the MT09 and has a very confidence inspiring suspension like the GSX1000. The 2019's new have a reduced price of about $7500 so without a doubt the best value. Seriously considering purchasing one, although I will say the Suzuki has a much meaner intake sound.

Nice review. What tires would your recommend instead of the Dunlops?

Beautiful bike though 🤗😎

Stonking engine and nice looks, is something the competition isnt able to match it seems,the bike is great.

With regards to that closing remark, what are the other two top 3 naked middleweights money can buy?

i you had to choose between the new Z900 and the 2019 MT09 for city riding and weekend twisties what would be your pick ?? help a fellow rider make a decision please

Great looks too

whats the suspension tune ability to accommodate a 250lb rider? I currently own a 2019 mt09 and it's not good.
