    If anyone wonders why my rev-matching moves seem so violent:
    1) my chest mount was quite loose which allowed it to shake rather badly thus exaggerating this effect
    2) I purposely tried to rev-match while being on the brake lever. Just for practice reasons. Since I ride a lot slower these days AND many modern bikes have blippers installed I noticed that I'm losing my ability to properly rev-match while being on the brake lever. I don't need that technique since I coast a lot when road riding but still I don't want to lose my skills which I learned over all those years while riding my old CB500. And since I'm out of practice it is a bit difficult to get the movement right but I noticed that it is easier for me to get it right when I'm exaggerating the movements of my right hand.
    ENJOY!

      To this day, in cities people yell at me from their sub-compact cars: "We already heard you! Why incessant revving!?"
      Then continue their text conversations.

    I own this bike. Super fun with lots of power. It holds its own very well against other bikes in the same class. It always surprises me how much torque it has. It also throws its weight around better than any other bike I’ve ever ridden. Might have something to do with the ergonomics of the seating but it handles very very rice.

      Honestly, I drove Z650 and Z900 one right after the other and both me and my friend we surprisingly agreed that the Z650 was more fun. Don't get me wrong, Z900 seems perfect and I absolutely love it since the first time I drove that thing. It pulls from down low like mad. It's precise, planted, it turns with zero effort, the engine is butter smooth and sounds really cool even as an inline 4. But in the end it boiled down to the fact that the Z650 being far ligther is more agile and given it's far lower power you can really push that bike almost all the time. I really like letting the bike go and rev under full throttle. But with Z900 you get from 0 to 200 kph in around 10 seconds while it's smaller brother never even gets there.
      Personally I don't want to get anywhere close to 200 kph on public roads and it's just too easy with 90 kW bike. Anyway, I higly recommend a test drive, you'll definately have a blast!
      It's kind of a dilema for me deciding where to go from an A2 bike. More power is fun but it is also more limiting in some sense. :(

      @@jiricech6370 Personally Mt-09 or Z900, but in favor of the mt-09 for the 3 cylinder, if Ktm weren't so unreliable i would go 100% for the 890/790 duke, 2 cylinders are just so fun. Definitely but it's all about self control, and it's always better to have more punch in the 100+ km/h, oh right you won't be able to go with full throttle with these ones haha

    Great vid and solid riding, So confident in the cornering so a pleasure to watch thank you! I have the 2020 z900 myself in black with Red decals. Love everything about the bike, I have respect for the MT09 as I have been on one and owned the MT07 for 25,000klm but glad I chose the Z900 All day long. Just a much more refined bike, I see comments that the 09 is quicker from the start but from the stats I read 0 to 100 klm times are MT 09 = 2.8sec Z900 3.0 sec. I would say that to the majority of people reading this that two tenths of a second will not mean much and that's only relevant if you consistently nail the start. My advise, Just buy the one that makes you go the most fizzy inside when you look at it whatever bike that may be. Work on the rest later. Great vid, stay upright!!

    Great ride & bike. Awesome to see you more relaxed & back in sync.....but at the same time.....safer through experience 👍 I have wanted to to own one of these for so long, rode one and many others in the past few weeks on my search. Sadly & most of all annoying thing for me is the Kawasaki riders triangle , it still remains too cramped for me to be comfortable. I am from a dirt background & currently have a 2018 MT-07, like it a lot but have outgrown it. I finally decided on the2020 Suzuki GSX-S1000F, sporty but comfy for a 50 year old worn out body & fits our budget. All the best & keep up the great videos, I for one appreciate your skills, passion & determination, but most of all seeing your confidence returning/growing, especially in this video.

    Geiles Video jetzt nochmal bevor die Saison zu Ende ist. Wieder mal nice unterwegs gewesen Schaaf ;) die Z ist echt klasse. Fahre selber ne 2006 Z1000 und ne CB 500 (deine Videos waren mit der Grund für die CB) aber die neue 900 gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Übrigens hast du die Honda noch ? Leider keine Videos mehr mit der kleinen.

    wow, I own a zr-7, had it for 20 years and 40 k miles, a nice riding bike. I can tell this z900 is refined and improved in every way, it obviously has way more power which means more than most people need, but it seems to be very smooth, I'm guessing the bike has the same neutral great handling, just a great road burner. for people comparing the mt09 I'd guess the z900 is the better bike for riding like this video shows sporty and through the gears, the mt09 I'd guess is better for hot roding.

    Schaaf I watch all your videos and I love it. I listen to sound of engine while working when I miss my vitpilen. I want to buy z900 next year maybe and I've noticed that sound is weird in this one you rode. There is some "clunk" when reving up that wasn't present on other videos I've seen. Weird.

  • @cmbiker
    @cmbiker 3 роки тому

    Hey Schaaf! Great video and commentary. Just wondering what you think of the gearbox? I find that I need to put very little pressure on the shifter peg to shift gears and that the clutch friction zone is quite narrow. Most of the motorcycles I've owned have had a much more, for lack of a better word, "noticible" gear change sensation to them. I find on the Z900 that the gear change process works best with a much softer touch on the shifter peg and a quicker clutch lever disengage/engage movement. Your thoughts?

    It's a pleasure to watch you carve those curves. I have a question for you. It is time for me to trade in my trusty Bandit 1200 and Z900 is on the top of my list to replace it primarily due to it's ergo and engine character. However, if I get the bike, I'll have to deflect the wind off my chest. How did that Givi screen perform?

    Great drive. I was definitely determined to buy Z900 2020. But now i can see new MT09 2021 which has quickshifter up/down and more electronic assistents - i have respect and i feel more safty if electronic assistent can help in crazy situation. New MT09 weights about 20kg less than Z900. I am driving only max 200km in the afternoon. Sometimes on small technical circuit. Which bike do you prefer to be faster on technical circuit and feel better during this drive?
