    An old tried and true rider triangle coupled with a modern engine, suspension, frame and brakes along with retro styling is a tough combination not to love! First ride and every ride after, the relationship just gets better. A machine so easy to become one with. It's a beautiful thing! I get the wind blast and you have mitigated most of it. Great Review! Best of Luck with it!

    Being tall, I always seem to be right in the turbulence of every bike. The yellow and black are pretty cool. I would have figured the bike would be more cramped. Thanks for the review. Looks like fun.

    Great review Brett, the Z900RS looks like a fun bike to ride. Light, nimble and quick, those categories hit high marks on the fun factor. 👍

    I thought you had fingerless gloves for a second, I was about to attack. You realize a Bolt endorsement doesn't hold water right? After a few thousand on that oldwing he would've been happy on a grom with a blown engine lol. Good breakdown man!

    I had a chance to test ride the cafe version and it was a blast. It has all the performance of the naked bikes but with the classic styling that I love. Like you said though, there's not a lot of wind protection which was really noticeable even after 10 minutes.

    • @ChopperFett
      @ChopperFett  2 роки тому

      Yea the cafe actually adds significant amount but compared to what you or I are used to it’s pretty light.

    • @sfzx54
      @sfzx54 Рік тому

      For the cafe version, Yoshimura makes a windscreen that is only available in Japan. You can order it through Webike. It's a touch expensive but clears up any and all turbulence from the stock version, best upgrade I've made other than akro header and ecu flash. But, I've got to say the michelin road 5 tires transformed the high speed handling and cornering of the bike. Then if you really want to improve the bike to its ultimate capability go to a custom rear rear shock like K-tech Razor R remote reservoir compression damping adjustable with rear ride height adjustment and be amazed at the stability improvement straight line over 110mph to top speed. It puts the correct balance front to rear back into the suspension if you get the correct weight spring for your rider weight, The front suspension is really pretty good but is helped by very slightly heavier weight oil in the forks. I've got almost 9000 miles on my 2019 and got to say its my favorite bike of the four in my garage right now. It always puts a smile on my face when out riding.

    This is a wonderful bike from the day that it came out. No matter which color, it is very nice looking. The only negative may be the price that is a bit high. Otherwise a masterpiece. You got my like.
    p.s. Waiting for your video about that Corbin seat.

    • @ChopperFett

    I've owned a bunch in 40+years, but Harleys have been the mainstay. Nowadays, I'm so sick of the Harley thing that I'll never go back.
    I'm planning on either the Triumph Speed Twin 1200, or this exact one. I'm leaning towards the Kawa.
    One thing I think about the cowl - it's meant for bar hopping, canyon carving, or flat out putting your head down to get under the main windstream.

  • @MRGS48
    @MRGS48 2 роки тому +2

    All these bikes with smaller gas tanks are phenomenal for light cruising away from the city and off course in the city for commuting, bar hopping etc. The problem is that if you live in AZ for example like myself they’re very limited at least in my opinion. Yeah yeah I might be spoiled owning a bmw GS HP and a Road King special but oh well. Nice video buddy

    Great video on one of my favorite bikes too! It offers me great looks and performance from that smooth 4 cylinder, great torque and engine braking. Also, great comfort from ergonomics. However, unlike you, I am only 5’6” and have been looking for the short seat option. Would be willing to gift, donate or sell to me, assuming it’s no use to you? Thanks for your consideration. Scott
