Haha right, that thing had gobs of power. I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face and I didn’t even get to tap into the power of it lol

Only 125 😅

For sure man, i could not stop grinning to talk in this vid. I was having way to much fun on that bike.

That’s awesome, they are great bikes. Happy new year

Haha well said and so true, i just couldn’t wipe the grin off my face the whole ride

Haha nice bro, I was grinning ear to ear the whole ride.. this bike was dope

Nice man, the z900 was so fun I had a grin the whole time I rode it but be cautious as it has a lot of power

@@ScoutsOut Yeah, your joy riding it came through on the video. Safety is always first, thanks!

yea I figured that out after the video sadly, pretty awesome bike

Haha thanks, i just couldn’t stop giggling lol such a fun bike to ride. Hopefully you get one soon! 🍻

Nice dude definitely! Such a fun bike to ride

its my first bike too. almost same color as in the video just more black.

Congrats on the new bike!

I appreciate that, I bet it sounds amazing, glad you enjoyed the vid!

Nice dude, I'm couldn't wipe the grin off my face riding the 900 lol

Thank you! Congrats on the new bike! I k is the smile factor it brings enjoy bro!

Nice dude congrats on the new bike!! Hopefully it warms up quick

Same brother! My local bike shop has a z900 for 1000 off and I’m trading a 400cc bike in for it

How’s the bike Dennis? My local bike shop got one in this week just because I wanted to look at one & sit on it. I have a spine injury, so I need something that has an upright riding position & it felt okay to sit on but I’m not sure how compliant the suspension will be. What are your thoughts? I love riding in winter, the throttle feels crisp and I love early morning rides with the cold trying to penetrate the layers of gear I’m wearing, tipping it into nice sweepers whilst everyone else is still tucked up in bed 😂 Interested in what you think of it?

@@GR8Tmate I love this bike. The posture is perfect. I too have a lower back problem (herniated disk). The posture is just right though, and I have never gotten off after a ride with a sore back. Did make some changes. Bar end mirrors, slip-on exhaust, and radiator guard. $325 total. I have to admit, the seat needs more work..lol After 45 min its like sitting on a plank. (new one on order). Dealership will not recognize it when I bring it back in for service..lol

@@18830dc Thanks for reply brother, I really appreciate it. I’m glad you’re happy with it. I dropped past the local Kawasaki dealer about a month ago but he had no Z900’s. I’m new to this area so he doesn’t know me. He offered to order one in for me and asked me which colour I liked 👀. I explained about my spine & told him I just wanted to see how it felt. Dropped past again on Friday and there was a brand new Red one 😍 My only issue with it was swinging my leg over the seat, but painful but not nice I was on it it felt good except the insanely HARD seat. My wife sat on the back, she’s tiny but her seat was like HARD PLASTIC 😂 So would need to order some seats, radiator guard, Akroprovic slip on & I need to find someone to PPF it for me. I was mostly concerned about the suspension, how will I go with my pain 🥹 I’ve been off bikes for 3 years since I was injured, it’s killing me. Nice only ridden 5 or 6 times since then and I actually dream about riding. People don’t understand but when you ride for nearly everyday of your life for 50 years then stop it’s like some sort of withdrawal and I’ve had enough. Just need to hit the roads again. I’m really jealous of you. I’m not sure if I should pop in and just ride away on it or wait until my new shed gets built……. I need to ride but trying to fight the bike on and out of my car shed won’t be much fun. 🤔 Did you have any trouble dialling the suspension in?

Yea man, such a fun bike. Congrats on the upgrade!

Nice! It really is a rocket ship, such a fun bike to ride. Congrats on the new bike!! What exhaust did you get?

haha, thanks man. it was so hard to curb the excitement that bike just brings so much fun to the table!

Nice man, congrats on the new bike. The z900 had me grinning so wide I could hardly talk about it in the vid so fun

Oh weird, I wear a full face and didn't notice that but I could see that being the case as I felt like I was on top of the bike

Nice bro! Congrats suck a fun bike

nice dude! congrats on the new bike!! let me know what you think after you get it, that's exciting

Very cool, I’m excited for ya and that is a big difference. Let me know what ya think

@@ScoutsOut I ended up getting the bike today after work. Oh man I love that thing, Im not sure how long lost riders ride a bike like this before stopping for a break. I got to ride it for about an hour in sport mode. I couldn’t get it out of sport mode. I can’t wait to ride it again Saturday morning.

Hell yea man! Such a fun bike, glad your enjoying it

@@ScoutsOut yes sir. I made @175 mile ride Saturday and it was my best ride of the year

Nice, yea it really is. I was surprised at how much i enjoyed it

yea, sadly I didn't figure that out until after I rode it. thanks for putting that in the comments!

Best mode to do clutch up wheelies on. Sport mode works to but it’s best when traction control is off

Nice, I bet traction control would shit down throttle. Are you able to get it up with TC on?

@@ScoutsOut honestly I haven’t tried, I could in sport mode which I believe it’s TC1 in that mode

@@ScoutsOut what bike are going to get being your testing these bikes out?

Haha I bet it’s sick!

@@ScoutsOut It is! 😄😄👍👍👍

Nice dude that's exciting! I really liked the z650 but man I couldn't wipe the grin of my face riding the z900. Let me k ow what you think when you get it

Finally got my Z900 after trading in my Z650 absolutely loved it what a incredible bike to ride

Nice dude, congrats on the new bike! Man that z900 is fun!

Yea, kawi is rarely the pumped by press but I agree solid bike!

Nice, that bike was so much fun I could stop smiling the whole ride lol

Thanks, such a fun bike. Happy holidays

Totally, they nailed the design

Ish. As long as I have a supersport already, and I'm getting a second bike I would take the 900 over the 636. If I could have only one bike it would be a supersport, but that is just me. When it came to playful riding I think the 900 was more fun than my 636

Dude if you haven’t rode it yet, the power gain is real bro! I’m excited for you, let me know what you think

Did you end up with the Kawa?

@SWTVENOM I did. I bought a 23 with 700 miles on it. Absolutely beast of a bike. Full akrapovic header and titanium exhaust on it. With a Ecu flash tune.

Quality of parts on the build and offered features. By no means is the z900 crappy quality I just think they specifically make them to a budget. It seems to me Kawasaki puts more effort into comfortable more affordable bikes and less aggressive track style builds except for the zx10r. Those are just my opinions though

I would still recommend a smaller lighter bike, smaller bikes teach you more than you would think.

haha thanks man, that bike still has me grinning thinking about how much fun it was to ride

42 miles one way, and all freeway so nothing enjoyable about the commute

@@ScoutsOut 😭

Haha yea man it's fun

I haven't rode the gsx so not sure, maybe Simone else knows in the comments

lol yup im sure if I got it I wouldn't be getting 49 either lol

Ohh weird, I would agree Japan is better but Thailand I think is all ktms

Assume all the parts from Japan, sucks labor from Thailand, no offense or disrespect, japanese made is usually better.

Agreed

thanks man I appreciate that L'chaim!

How has it been as a beginner? I’m thinking of getting this as a first bike. I’m comparing it to an Mt07 KAWA gsx-8S

Nice dude, how do you like it?

The new Suzuki’s are nice!

Yea it's a good looking bike for sure, I'd check out the z400 to begin on they have a white and red one that looks cool imo

Not sure man, I would assume so

Unfortunately you cannot. So i replaced every silver part. Even the tank. Color code 739 Worth every penny

Ohh ok good to know! Nice bro!

Nice did how did it pull after 110 ish?

@@ScoutsOut this bike got robust top end. Kept on going without falling to it’s face. Although my 2008 Yamaha Yzf-R1 is a lot more faster but this Z900 more nimble and more importantly very comfortable upright position

Nice dude, I wish I could have pushed it harder such a fun bike miles of smiles

It's so torquey and fun man, but no way to use all the power in the city

@@ScoutsOut that’s exactly why I been stuck on the decision. Guess I’ll stick with my z650, still plenty fun and able to use the power in town :)

Totally dude, the z650 is perfect. I was grinnin ear to ear riding the 900 but never even hit half throttle with it. So much untapped power you just don't need, not to say it isn't fun but really not practical

@@ScoutsOut couldn’t have said it any better. And that is exactly why when I had both in my hands at the dealership I thought about practicality and opted for the Z650

haha yea man I couldn't stop grinning. I was trying to talk about the bike but I was just having way to much fun lol

Dang that sucks man, have you thought of a sprocket change? I have an R7 and have rode the MT07 so I know what you mean about the fun down low with torque

@@ScoutsOut yeah I’ve toyed with a few ideas. I do love the bike itself, sounds nice and looks beautiful. much more refined than the mt. Maybe it’s the weight difference and the fact the acceleration is so linear. Where as the mt is snappy and you can throw it about, may see what next summer brings and decide from there

Yea it’s probly the extra weight from the inline 4, it just makes it heavier

Lol yea that was funny, sry bro lol I couldn't get the grin off my face that thing was so much fun

Yea bro they are awesome but not a great starter bike lol it has gobs of power, did you look at the z400?

@@ScoutsOut ohh hell yea one of my work mates has a z400 and he made me go out with him and sit on the bike lol good times

@@goldhawke1105 nice, I enjoy the z400 it’s a perfect beginner and still fun for experienced riders

Yea would that be nice!

Haha yes it does and provides much enjoyment for that size lol

Hard choice, both are great bikes. I haven't rode the s750 but I'm sure it would be an awesome bike too. GSX 1k less and maybe cheaper insurance 🤷🏻‍♂️

I own the Z900 and have ridden the GSX during a demo day. If you are a new rider the GSX is a fine choice. If you have ridden before then go with the Z900. Both are a fine choice.

See if you can get a test ride on both, I test rode an MT09 & this bike back to back, this one every time. I think if you bought the 750, you’ll out grow it & wish you’d gone for this, its not scary & it delivers power smoothly without effort, go for the benefits of the bigger engine & power.

Let us know what you went for :)

Yea I’d be curious to know what you get too

Haha man is it a blast! Be careful with it and enjoy!

@@ScoutsOut absolutely will be safe! Putting it on power mode!

@@greatgalladehow has it been as a first bike?

@@SWTVENOM not bad I've had fun. I've been more cautious

lol yup, I sure like moving my ass all over the bike

Yes, but it was obviously hopped up and bangin that nitrous

Yea thats annoying especially knowing its already drive by wire, but guess they are pinching pennies to keep the price reasonable

The z900 was fun, tons of great owner. I really want to try an mt09 now or 10

@@ScoutsOut mt09 gets power sooner, its torquier... i sold it and got a 2018 gsxs1000 and that was even faster and very torquey too. Best bike i have owned and my mt09 had custom suspension and full exhaust but the gsxs1000 was more stable and faster while feeling more composed. Ultimately, downgraded to the mt07 as too much power was making me ride faster everywhere . i feel with the mt07 i found a sweet spot.

Makes sense, and probly why I always gravitate to the smaller bikes, I love my r7

​@@trailrider1980 the z900 makes a Dyno tested 66 ft lb of torque at 8 k rpm The MT09 makes 63 at 7k, but only for a peak of torque exactly at 7K rpm. Everywhere else along the torque (and HP) Dyno curve, the z900 makes more torque and power www.motorcycle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/900-nakeds-shootout-torque-dyno.png This is a different Dyno run but you can see the MT09 can only bests the z900 for about 300 rpm

Yes, that was my crutch word for that vid 😞

Yea agreed, especially for day to day riding

Thanks greg I’ll do that next time bud, happy holidays

🙏

Nice dude, heck yea it is
