Here are the resulting pictures from the mentioned Z900 photoshoot: 500px.com/fotoflut/galleries/stunning-2017-kawasaki-z900 If you're interested in my opinion about the Z900's rideability you'll have to watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/-_FmEM4a3_Y/v-deo.html
Schaaf I call thumbnails click bait because sometimes I can't remember the word thumbnail... And about thumbnail... NEMA PROBLEMA in Croatian means NO PROBLEM...
Doesnt need it. Its as docile as a 250 if you are gentle. Anyone hamfisted with the throttle will be in trouble on any bike even with traction control - it isnt a magic wand that makes a shit rider into Mick Doohan.
Following the Z900 raw from beginning. This one is insane. Pure adrenaline. Love. The Dunlops seem really good. On the wet surface as well as I saw in your previous Raw ones.
thanks man!! I recently got a comment in which someone complained about these Dunlops. I said I was happy with them. But I might have to take that back. This weekend I was on a Ninja650 with the same Sportmax Dunlops. And they seem to have a problem with getting hot very quickly and then starting to smear. No wonder they worked well on the Z900 for me. It was less than 10°C outside.
Cool video as always. I did think that you were able to push harder on the GSXS750! I have gone for purchase of this bike because of your video and inspiration. Thank you!
Yes, you did and I went with the GSXS750 as my new bike! I love it! Video's such as yours are my decision makers, as in NY we are rarely able to test ride the bike. I did like the look of the Z900 more, but now the GSXS all black version has grown on me. It rides and handles beyond my capacity at the moment. But I love it carving the city traffic.
Echt beeindruckend! Dass du dich so schnell an Motorräder anpasst, hängt echt enorm mit deinen Fähigkeiten zusammen. Ein Motorrad gut fahren zu können ist Gewöhnungssache, aber jedes so zu rocken, zeugt von einem guten Fahrer! Vermisse nur die lustigen Tiergesichter beim verdecken des Tachos :P
A short but fast and furious ride and i loved it. You seem to have an affinity with a lot of bikes and you ride them very well with little or no more than the briefest of advance practice. This is one of those rides where you really just went for it!! Great video. As Always Ride (and speed) Safe.
thanks Jezza! Quickly adapting to any bike out there indeed is my biggest skill. All thanks to staying and learning for years on the wobbly ass Honda CB500 :)
Awesome! 👍🏻 However, this video makes me feel sad for all the poor Z900s which are ridden daily in big cities. They also deserve the Schaaf-Treatment. Life is unfair 😢😉
Böses Gerät, aber ich liebe es. Hab schon 3500km mit meiner Z900 "gefressen". @Schaaf, wie immer hammer Speed und abartige Schräglage. Ride safe!!! PS: Coole Pics
This video convinced me to buy this bike, I have the same style of riding and it seems you feel confortable with the bike. I've a 650 suzuki but the power on 4th isn't enough to confortable riding my private track so I was craving more power since a long time.
Any plans on "SCHAAF-TREATING" the MT-09... I would really like to see how my dream bike fares against the Z900 since it's a direct competitor price wise ;) I already watched the 1000PS Review, but im more interested in seeing it "in action" in the hands of a (in my opinion) skilled rider. Keep up the good work!
unfortunately I don't have access to one. I'll upload a couple of laps from the handling track soon though. But basically it's rather simple: the MT09 is a complete hooligan. Wonderful engine. Sharp brakes. But it's the opposite of refined. Snappy throttle response. And rather soft suspension, which was the biggest shock to me. If I could only own one bike I'd rather have the Z900. But since I'm used to spongy suspensions I had massive fun on the MT. More than on the Z. But the Z is, overall, the better motorcycle.
Well it's a shame there won't be a MT09 video on the roads of Austria and or Italy. But I'm looking forward to any MT09 related content from you, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed to see someone lent you one so you can really try to ride it on your own terms. Ever since I saw the 2017 model I fell in love and after riding on it (as a pillion since I don't have a full license) at the MT Tour in Croatia I knew that it will most likely be my next bike. I currently own the MT03 2016 model and every CB500 video gives me hope and just shows how the lower cc bikes can keep up with the "big boys" ...but the 3 cylinder engine that Yamaha made just won me over. The Triumph Street Triple RS will probably be too expensive and I never realy was a fan of 4 cylinders so Yamaha seems to fit the bill perfectly ,altough the Z900 is the best bang for your buck bike in my opinion and is a more "COMPLETE"(refined) motorcycle
Nice riding skills. I've read some reviews that say this bike is boring given the engines smooth power delivery. I'm considering this bike or a tuono. Japanese reliability Vs Italian passion.
thanks! I wouldn't call the Z900 boring. Not at all. But the Tuono is probably THE most exciting bike out there you can buy right now so the comparison is a bit tricky ;)
Heyy Schaaf awesome vdo man !! ;) please tell me hows the slipper clutch feel while agressive downshifting. Also please let me know the avg fuel consumption the bike will give if rode decently at 100 kmph...lol & what are those scraping sound while cornering. eg. 2:24. keep vlogging good luck.
the slipper clutch feels like a well working slipper clutch. I haven't checked the fuel consumption. The scraping sound comes from my guardian angel grinding his teeth.
No I mean is it very smooth or you feel some vibes or sound...!! I rode Z900 waiting to ride MT 09....Already know that MT 09 is insane bike and not good for city rides ....Even then i will be waiting for your MT 09 RAW footage lol ;)
looks like this bike got alot of punch :) oh yeah, can you actually reset the dash to make the blinking at the rev counter go away ? kinda annoying to see it blinking above certain rpm right ?
yea you can. It was still set to 'break in' period or whatever you want to call that. But the engine got a proper run-in from the Kawasaki guys before they gave it to me. Wise move ;)
yea, front wheel slips are not a nice thing to have. But it was kind of amazing at the same time as well. Like mentioned the Z900 gives very transparent feedback. I'm almost tempted to say I could have minor front wheel slips with it on purpose. But - more importantly - it shows me that I'm leaving enough room for error indeed. Could keep it inside my lane without any problems!
@@Schaaf Hi, hijack this comment from 3y. I am currently own this bike (Z900 2017) and I hate that you're absolutely correct about the feedback of the bike. It give me everything, from how slippery the road is, how bad the tyre are, etc. But, is the front wheel kinda small (comparing to the rear wheel) contribute to the front wheel slip ?
Hi Schaaf, could you say me how tall you are? i am 1,98m (6'5) and i want to buy the z900. Do you think it is enough comfortable and what is your experience? Greetings from germany!
I'm 184cm tall and you'd definitely need the higher seating option (which is available). I tried the standard height and after 300km I had slight issues with my knees. The higher position would've worked perfectly I'm convinced!
Hi, really cool video, is there anyway you can share your tip on gopro mounting point you were using in this video, it seems so smooth and stable, do you need a gimbal addon to it? Thanks
Nettes Möpedchen! Nur fehlen die Alpenpässe, da wird eim ja kalt beim zuschaun :D Aber gut das det ja kein Problem is :D Bei so vielen Testfahrten (Hut ab!) fehlt ja eig noch ne 1000er SSP. Chancen sowat dieses Jahr mal zu sehn? Grüße!
Sowas von nett ;) Nein, definitiv nicht. Die Leistung könnt' ich auf der Straße nicht unterbringen, ohne komplett asozial zu werden. Das Video hier ist für mich schon an der Obergrenze des Teilbaren :) Irgendwann mal, aber dann von der Renne ;)
Kann man sehr gut verstehn.. schließlich holst du ja oft aus (relativ) kleinen Mopeten mehr raus, als viele Literfahrer aus ihren ^^ Schaaf auf der Renne wäre allerdings n Traum :)
hat bei mir auch lange gedauert. Mir hat's aber entscheiden geholfen, bewusst zu versuchen, "sanfter" einzukuppeln. Auch wenn's im vollen Betrieb dann gar nicht mehr sanft aussieht. Also statt 4 Finger und voll den Hebel durchziehen, lieber nur sanft den Hebel ein wenig anziehen. Macht es leichter, das Timing mit dem Gasstoß gemeinsam zu erwischen. Aber man hört eh, dass ich selbst noch sehr oft daneben liege. Danke!!
Thank you. im going to have to test ride one, if it isnt fast enough i wont enjoy it. my 2013 ZX636r was perfect. had alot of power and mid to high grunt great at wheelies and awesome in twisties, im just looking to try something else out. im an all around rider. i do dig racing roll racing love twisties and wheelies i want another bike that can do it all.
Hey, just wondering. Why is it that you blur out the speedometer? Even if you are going above the limit, it is still obvious that you are going over the speed limit.
If you haven't seen Smo's video on how he blurs/removes the information on his dashboard display; he has a filter on his camera that seems to simply block the dashboard image, I don't know whether you would like to use a filter like that and of course it wouldn't work on analogue speedometers but maybe you can safe yourself some editing hassle that way, where that method is applicable
I think you like the z900 but your hooligan side is pulled to the mt-09. You should be the first on the internet to do a full on comparison between the mt-09 and the z900 only. Just those two bikes on those dreamy roads, at the same time. Mano a Mano. I'm sure you have a friend or two who would be willing to participate.
Designmäßig kann mich die Z900 irgendwie nicht so ganz überzeugen, da kommt die Suzi irgendwie geschmeider daher. Aber über Geschmack lässt sich ja bekanntlich nicht streiten ;)
Der Tacho bei den meisten Kawas ist irgendwie seltsam gestaltet. Ich mag digitale Drehzahlmesser zwar grundsätzlich nicht aber bei den neuen Kawa-Modellen sieht er richtig komisch aus.
Den seh ich ja jetzt erst, der sieht in der Tat richtig erwachsen und gelungen aus. Sowas sollte man halt, mit Abwandlungen, bei allen Modellen machen.
something might be wrong with my ears, but i just cant make the sound of its inline 4, the stock exhaust sounds almost like a parallel twin somehow LOL
vielleicht mit sowas? www.camforpro.com/gopro-windslayer-windschutz/?gclid=CjwKEAjwjPXIBRDhwICRg-DbgHISJADP6QXp9FjilNSoaVijzOO4-NAAT1aqwyn0O4MVyRiJX-HSnxoC8h7w_wcB
IMO, the Z900 is a butt ugly bike as a whole, but from Schaaf's onboard POV it looks pretty cool. Nice sounding engine too... Well, I rode the whole winter, but this video inspired me not to pussyfoot around that much next time. :-))

Danke dir! Ich glaube nach wie vor nicht, ein besonders guter Fahrer sein zu können. Weil mir dazu einfach die notwendige Erfahrung fehlt (ich hab jetzt ca. 60.000km gesammelt). Aber es stimmt definitiv, dass es zu meinen größten Stärken zählt, mich sehr schnell auf jede Art von Motorrad einstellen zu können. Das hab' ich aber fast nur meiner Geduld zu verdanken, die mich Ewigkeiten auf der alten, wackeligen CB500 hat bleiben lassen. Die ist zwar deppeneinfach zu bewegen, aber es braucht enorm viel Feingefühl, wenn man sie rasant (aber so richtig flott) bewegen möchte. Weil ihr "Grenzbereich" verhältnismäßig schmal ist. Und diesen "Gefühlsbonus" nehm ich nun auf jede moderne Maschine mit. Die sind so gut wie immer technisch haushoch überlegen. Und lassen einen meist auch viel mehr spüren. Da kann ich mich dann dank meines geschärften Gespürs sehr, sehr schnell in einen Bereich begeben, der zwar definitiv flott ist, aber verhältnismäßig immer noch große Reserven bietet. Man könnte sagen, dass mir die alte CB enorme Sicherheit und Selbstvertrauen verliehen hat. Die lässt mich dann auch immer entspannt bleiben. Was dann hilft, wenn so wie bei 4:13 zB ein Vorderradrutscher passiert. PS.: wenn ich sage, dass ich kein besonders guter Fahrer bin, dann liegt das auch daran, dass ich mich mit WIRKLICH guten und erfahrenen Piloten vergleiche, die ich im Laufe der Jahre auf der Straße kennengelernt hab. Verglichen zu den meisten Motovloggern auf UA-cam bin ich definitiv gut unterwegs.

how the hell is a thumbnail straight from the video, announcing EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS in the video WITHOUT ANY EXAGGERATION click bait?
Schaaf I call thumbnails click bait because sometimes I can't remember the word thumbnail... And about thumbnail... NEMA PROBLEMA in Croatian means NO PROBLEM...
Nice video as always, and especially nice pictures! Richtig Schaaf! :P
thanks Oliver
Some riders have small chicken stripes at the edge of a tire. This guy has a massive one, right in the middle.
tahahahaha
Lol chicken strip
It's a pleasure to finally see a review of this bike in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.
thanks a loz
Im holding my breath while watching this, im amazed by the way you ride this z900, this bike doesnt have any traction control 👏
it doesn't need one :)
Doesnt need it.
Its as docile as a 250 if you are gentle.
Anyone hamfisted with the throttle will be in trouble on any bike even with traction control - it isnt a magic wand that makes a shit rider into Mick Doohan.
blur the speedo more often please. it's embarrassing to be so slow

I only took pictures with it

love the scraping of the pegs,

Hanging off the side of the bike counteracts some of the cornering lean limit.

Great video and pictures on 500px!
thanks a lot!!
Which one do you find more fun, Z900 or GSX-S750?
for fast riding the Suzi, for anything else the Kawa
Hi! I've read quite a lot of bad comments about the tires. How did you feel them ?
they work well in the cold but they overheat quickly when it's nice and warm outside. Not good indeed. Had more experience with them in the meantime.
thanks mate
Nettes Möpedchen! Nur fehlen die Alpenpässe, da wird eim ja kalt beim zuschaun :D Aber gut das det ja kein Problem is :D

Ok I am watching this video and I am seeing some great speeds in the lower gears. What have you gotten the bike up to in each gear?
didn't try that
Someone else who rides a Z900 like it’s supposed to be ridden, Hell yeah!
thanks
Hello what is your tire pressure on z900 ? Thanks in advance.
No idea, I only had this bike for a day
@@Schaaf How about usually with other bikes ?
Master Schaaf, is Honda CB 600F Hornet 2001' a good bike?
reliable and easy to ride
I'm getting one.. If I go for a road trip to Germany, I hope I'll get lucky enough to see you overtaking me in a tight corner :P keep riding man
Ist das eigentlich der Standartauspuff oder ohne Kat/DBKiller/konplett andere AGA

What is the scraping noise that you can hear occasionally, Pegs or knee pucks?
pegs
A natural dance partner for you!
kind of ;)
Wow. I'm not letting you ride my Z900.
probably a good idea
Did you blur out the speedo? Also, I've seen you ride a hell of a lot harder than that!
in conditions like these? Not on my channel.
Does this have comparable torque and accel to a zx6r? does it have enough power to do wheelies at 60 mph?
it has a lot more torque in low and middle revs but less in high revs. I don't know how to do wheelies.
Thank you. im going to have to test ride one, if it isnt fast enough i wont enjoy it. my 2013 ZX636r was perfect. had alot of power and mid to high grunt great at wheelies and awesome in twisties, im just looking to try something else out. im an all around rider. i do dig racing roll racing love twisties and wheelies i want another bike that can do it all.
Nema problema...???
Is that Croatian...
I think so, I just picked it up in Vienna
Hahaha, i tought you may be know Croatian...
PS when i saw your gsxr 750,damn you can drive.... Please be SAFE!!!!
Da znam=Zu wissen=Yes I know...
in Polish it's: Niema problemu :D It's all so familiar :D
haha cool, always learning here :D Dziękuję ;)
I have a 2016 ZX6R KRT ABS that I love, but a local used private listing for a 2018 Z900 ABS is on sale and I am having another hard life decision : /
doooo iiiiittt
Hey! Can we use this bike for touring for long distances..
yes absolutely
Schaaf thanx mate.. and love from india...
Ist die Z900 jetzt dein neues Motorrad? Geiles Bike mit ähnlichen Leistungsdaten wie die CB1000R, nur um ein paar Kilos leichter. ;-)
nein, nur zwei Tage zum Testen gehabt
Sieht so unglaublich leicht aus wie du die umlegst. Da brauchst schon sehr viel Vertrauen in die Reifen.
Vertrauen in den Asphalt ist wichtiger. Es gibt keine schlechten Reifen von den namhaften Herstellern mehr.
the disclaimer said you never exceeded 98.9 kph !!!!!!! are u sure ?
absolutely
Completely unrelated but as far as comfort how would you rate it?
very good
Hey, just wondering. Why is it that you blur out the speedometer? Even if you are going above the limit, it is still obvious that you are going over the speed limit.
I have my reasons. Won't share them though.

yes I heard from this too. I'll experiment with it at one point for sure
Does the bike on the handlebar part vibrate at high speeds?
nope!
You got vibrations in 3500-4000 rpm (75-85 km/h) High frequence vibrations that make my right fingers num.
Your speed is good, just for that dirty road, don´t touch ECU, engineers knows what they do ! Very good slip-on. Kawasaki: simply the best !
thanks
I think you like the z900 but your hooligan side is pulled to the mt-09. You should be the first on the internet to do a full on comparison between the mt-09 and the z900 only. Just those two bikes on those dreamy roads, at the same time. Mano a Mano. I'm sure you have a friend or two who would be willing to participate.
tehehe indeed it would be cool but I'll rather try to get my ass on more different bikes in the future ;)
+Schaaf yeah, like that big 1299 Duke ;-)
Man, what country do you live in? I might actually move there just for the roads lol
Austria
@@Schaaf wo genau?
You do not push the clutch when it goes up gears?
what does it look like to you
naravno da nema problema
Did notice that you blured the speed above 120 i think? For legal purpose? :)) nice riding as always, be safe sir
I do it to prevent the keyboard warriors from stepping in, from a legal point of view it makes no sense actually
Schaaf lol keyboard warriors, btw i think you should get a new bike someday
You prefer to scrap the peg in left turn than righ turn, isn't it?
I generally feel better in left hand turns
Nema zime za eskime :)
which one my friend fz 09 or kawasaki z900
watch this video and turn on the subtitles ua-cam.com/video/7PZM6rHHqKE/v-deo.html

I do the same thing with my right pointer finger sometimes lol
:)
Ich will die Z900 kaufen, aber mir fehlen noch 3 Monate bis zum A :´( Und bevor ich sie kauf will ich sie mal probefahren :D
sollte sie dein erstes Motorrad sein, dann rate ich dir, dir was anderes zu suchen. Die Z900 ist eher nichts für Einsteiger.
+Schaaf bin kein Einsteiger würd ich mal sagen. Fahr seit m A1 (vor bald 4 Jahren) und hab knapp 60k km aufm buckel :D
achso!!! Na dann, viel Spaß :D
+Schaaf danke werd ich dann vmtl haben :D bin Momentan noch so am Pendeln zwischen der Z900, mt09 oder Z1000sx. Bin gespannt wie die sich so fahren.
Das Geilste video
Ok
Hi QuickShifter up ?
clutchless shifting
Designmäßig kann mich die Z900 irgendwie nicht so ganz überzeugen, da kommt die Suzi irgendwie geschmeider daher. Aber über Geschmack lässt sich ja bekanntlich nicht streiten ;)
richtig. Mir gefallen beide optisch sehr gut. Bis auf den Rollertacho der Z900 :D
Der Tacho bei den meisten Kawas ist irgendwie seltsam gestaltet. Ich mag digitale Drehzahlmesser zwar grundsätzlich nicht aber bei den neuen Kawa-Modellen sieht er richtig komisch aus.
den von der Ninja650 find ich ganz gelungen
Den seh ich ja jetzt erst, der sieht in der Tat richtig erwachsen und gelungen aus. Sowas sollte man halt, mit Abwandlungen, bei allen Modellen machen.
something might be wrong with my ears, but i just cant make the sound of its inline 4, the stock exhaust sounds almost like a parallel twin somehow LOL
lol
wie bekommst du so wenig Windgeräusche hin?
In der info is ein link wie er audio aufnimmt!
Danke, Schurrli! :)
TheBlauKopf bitte! :)
vielleicht mit sowas? www.camforpro.com/gopro-windslayer-windschutz/?gclid=CjwKEAjwjPXIBRDhwICRg-DbgHISJADP6QXp9FjilNSoaVijzOO4-NAAT1aqwyn0O4MVyRiJX-HSnxoC8h7w_wcB
what mean "raw" onboard?
onboard video without any edits and/or music etc.
Liked it but look like lonely place no car bikes passing cool for corner fun
true
Verdammt zügig... lg
danke!!!
IMO, the Z900 is a butt ugly bike as a whole, but from Schaaf's onboard POV it looks pretty cool. Nice sounding engine too... Well, I rode the whole winter, but this video inspired me not to pussyfoot around that much next time. :-))
always depends on the tarmac
👍💪👍💪
thanks!

Just be safe You Tube vids are not worth your life.
no worries I learned this the hard way. Although I never rode this way for UA-cam but for my own pleasure.
Echt beeindruckend! Dass du dich so schnell an Motorräder anpasst, hängt echt enorm mit deinen Fähigkeiten zusammen. Ein Motorrad gut fahren zu können ist Gewöhnungssache, aber jedes so zu rocken, zeugt von einem guten Fahrer!
Vermisse nur die lustigen Tiergesichter beim Verdecken des Tachos :P
Danke dir! Ich glaube nach wie vor nicht, ein besonders guter Fahrer sein zu können. Weil mir dazu einfach die notwendige Erfahrung fehlt (ich hab jetzt ca. 60.000km gesammelt). Aber es stimmt definitiv, dass es zu meinen größten Stärken zählt, mich sehr schnell auf jede Art von Motorrad einstellen zu können. Das hab' ich aber fast nur meiner Geduld zu verdanken, die mich Ewigkeiten auf der alten, wackeligen CB500 hat bleiben lassen. Die ist zwar deppeneinfach zu bewegen, aber es braucht enorm viel Feingefühl, wenn man sie rasant (aber so richtig flott) bewegen möchte. Weil ihr "Grenzbereich" verhältnismäßig schmal ist. Und diesen "Gefühlsbonus" nehm ich nun auf jede moderne Maschine mit. Die sind so gut wie immer technisch haushoch überlegen. Und lassen einen meist auch viel mehr spüren. Da kann ich mich dann dank meines geschärften Gespürs sehr, sehr schnell in einen Bereich begeben, der zwar definitiv flott ist, aber verhältnismäßig immer noch große Reserven bietet. Man könnte sagen, dass mir die alte CB enorme Sicherheit und Selbstvertrauen verliehen hat. Die lässt mich dann auch immer entspannt bleiben. Was dann hilft, wenn so wie bei 4:13 zB ein Vorderradrutscher passiert.
PS.: wenn ich sage, dass ich kein besonders guter Fahrer bin, dann liegt das auch daran, dass ich mich mit WIRKLICH guten und erfahrenen Piloten vergleiche, die ich im Laufe der Jahre auf der Straße kennengelernt hab. Verglichen zu den meisten Motovloggern auf UA-cam bin ich definitiv gut unterwegs.
