I love my ‘blue’ 2020 z900!! I have had 5 bikes in my 54 year old lifetime and this is the best one of all! I enjoy keeping in ‘Rain’ mode just because it’s more sane! Very powerful bike. I get so many compliments on this best!! Absolutely love it!
It was great to hear the joy in your voice! For anyone out there who is watching this video and looking to buy one, you will definitely experience this feeling every day.
Great reveiw! I bought a 2023 Z900 same color as this and absolutely love it. Did some mods already and she's quickly became my favorite bike. Cannot wait for the weather to warm up some more so I can ride more. Only have about 200ish miles currently.
Got this as my first bike. 2022 matte blue. Only time it got away from me was when I first took it home off the dealership lot. Other than a no issues. Definitely still learning, just gotta take your time with it.
Rider mode is customizable for power and traction control. All of the other modes are preset, with rain mode being the lowest setting for power (L) and the highest setting for traction control (3).
Good to see a guy enjoying the Z. Have a '22 black and blue 900. Little jet for under 10k. Smooth, powerful and almost 50 mpg. I ride with a dude on an MT10. They call them empty 10's. Sometimes he's in the high 20's for mileage. His has 40 hp more, but he can't pull me by much. All in all excellent machine.
Great review! Bought a 2023 Z900 ES two months ago as my first bike. Taking my time with it and having fun implanting safe riding techniques. Was riding in a residential when I had a big German shepherd hustling to cut me off as I’m coming to a stop sign. Before getting to the stop sign I did the slow down then speed up technique taught to me in my riding course. Love this thing!!
Every time you rev the throttle and giggle with excitement makes me also happy and excited. From your reaction, must be really nice to ride this bike. I'm planning to buy this one next year when I save up a little. Never ridden a big bike before, only have a 150cc cubby Honda RS-X. Cant wait to be cruising around on this beast.
I bought a 2023 900ABS and love it! I replaced my beloved CBR 650 and this thing has not disappointed. Its literally a rocket ship on wheels! Easy and comfortable to ride. Just had to change the stock exhaust and install fender eliminator kit. We are all good to go now!
Lol sorry for all of the comments. I watched the entire review and commented throughout. I have a full Leo Vince system and talk about lots of bass! The system is definitely a head turner! Thanks for the review man. Be safe out there on them 2's!
Excellent video! Recently downloaded the manual to the ‘24 Z900 so I can obsess over every little bit of it. Looking to pick mine up the 16th or 17th of August 2024. Very excited. My first “big bike” (coming from ZX-6R) and the first brand new bike I’ve ever owned.
My 2023 Z900 gets delivered next week. Upgrading from the Ninja 650 which they picked up today. Unfortunately, it is still winter here, but I wanted to get it while it was a $1000 off.
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?
I test rode a Z900 the other day. The thing is a riot to ride! Great bike with one exception. While wearing a full face helmet, I couldn't see the gauges at all without having to tilt my head down. The Z900RS doesn't have this issue.
Great video! Im going Saturday to pick one up and your excitement has me excited to actually sit on it and ride. Going from a Harley ultra limited to a necked sport bike is going to be a huge change. The one I’m getting has the wind screen, handlebar mirrors, exhaust, frame sliders, rear fender delete, and new clutch and brake levers
@@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.
Rider mode isn’t for when you have a rear passenger. It’s a customizable mode, which allows you to select your own power and TC settings (including turning off TC).
Pretty crap test route! I bought this when it first came out in 2017, great fit for me as I’m only 5’5” I bought the performance model that has a slightly larger screen & I have no problems with wind blast, no extras only the ABS. I love it, it’s great for throwing around the roads here in the UK & in particular here in North Wales, but Ive also toured it including down to Lake Como in Italy & the south of France, I had no issues riding along side my mates on their adventure & sports tourers, it came into its own on the mountain passes etc. Love it 🏴👍👍 Barely gets a mention in the motorcycle press, it’s always the MT09s & Speed Triples that are covered!!
@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.
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
@@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
Why do you think the Z900 doesn’t get the love and attention other bikes, like the MT09, get? I’m in the market for a new bike, and have been looking at the Tuono 660, XSR900, and even the Ducati Supersport 950. While all of those are lighter than the Z900, it’s considerably cheaper. Are those others that much better?
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 feel the opposite to be fair. Had an mt07, upgraded to a 2018 z900 performance. And kinda wish I’d gone for the mt09 instead. It feel like it lacks in the fun torque department and I’m always left wanting something after a ride. Lovely bike but just not entirely happy with it
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
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
I have seen used z900s at tempting prices 5500-6500. Mt09s hold their value better. I had an mt09 as well but have never ridden the z900... seems like a good bike.
@@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.
@@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
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.
I guess the only con with the Z900 is that its does not come stock with an quickshifter. You can only go for an aftermarket quickshifter for this bike. This seems particularly strange considering the MT 09 ( which is the Z900 main competitor) comes stock today with an quickshifter. Having said that this is an supercool bike.
I freakin LOVE my 2020 z900!!! Can't even use more than 40% throttle without doubling the speed limit instantly and it's "only 125hp"!!!
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 😅
Love my Z900 - it's a great mix of sporty but comfortable and always leaves me smiling.
For sure man, i could not stop grinning to talk in this vid. I was having way to much fun on that bike.

Good choice Sir, I hope your little tumble didn’t do too much harm!!
Enjoy 👊🏴
Thanks, such a fun bike. Happy holidays
Would you say the Z900 would be a good first bike for someone who can hold their limits?
I would still recommend a smaller lighter bike, smaller bikes teach you more than you would think.
How about upgrade bike after learning on a grom? Responsible rider here, not into hooligan stuff.
Your constant giggling makes me want a Z900. Giggles are the gauge of fun factor.😁
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
Damn, 49 mpg! I'm only getting 40 mpg on my 2022! I need to slow down 🤣🤣.
lol yup im sure if I got it I wouldn't be getting 49 either lol
Bought a 24 full power z900 yesterday as a beginner .Drove around 35k km on 125cc

Love the red and the look but probably too much bike for me as a beginner.
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

I have seen used z900s at tempting prices 5500-6500. Mt09s hold their value better. I had an mt09 as well but have never ridden the z900... seems like a good bike.
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

This is a different Dyno run but you can see the MT09 can only bests the z900 for about 300 rpm
If this came with cruise control and quickshifter id be all over it.
Yea would that be nice!
"The engine takes up every width of this motorcycle." 🤔
Haha yes it does and provides much enjoyment for that size lol
Can’t decide between this Z900 or a GSX-S750 🤔🤔
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
Fricken really fricken considering buying a fricken z900 fricken motorfrickencycle....
Yes, that was my crutch word for that vid 😞
I guess the only con with the Z900 is that its does not come stock with an quickshifter. You can only go for an aftermarket quickshifter for this bike. This seems particularly strange considering the MT 09 ( which is the Z900 main competitor) comes stock today with an quickshifter. Having said that this is an supercool bike.
Yea thats annoying especially knowing its already drive by wire, but guess they are pinching pennies to keep the price reasonable
Had a zx10 years ago like this better
Yea agreed, especially for day to day riding
Terrible review. You should have started with a walk around review before you even rode the machine.
Thanks greg I’ll do that next time bud, happy holidays
Seek Jesus! He’s the way! The truth! And the life! Repent for the Kingdom is at hand!
