@@Jacob99174 Unless it comes to the USA it's not a comparison. Also if it does, the Hornet is playing in a higher class of around 145 horsepower (GSX-S1000), not the 120-125 hp bikes.
Bravo 👏 finally looks like we're back in business boys!! It looks aggressive and focused not like the previous design and i see the front has borrowed some elements from the H2 but much more refined and better looking. Also looks like we're getting adjustable preload etc and overall Kawasaki goodness. Cant wait to see the 650 or a 700
Not gonna lie was hoping for a bump in power (not that it needs it) but not bad. Think I'll keep my 2020 z900 though, I don't push it hard enough to even utilize those extra electronics!!!
The updates are actually simplified throttle and ECU controls, believe it or not. The Z900 has been running a hybrid manual/electronic system ever since they put power modes and traction control on it for the first time. The full ECU driven throttle simplifies systems and makes it easy to incorporate the high resolution control (throttle and ABS, cruise control). Is this more expensive? Tough question about that. The throttlebody assembly is much less complex than the last model, it is simplified. There's no more cables to lubricate and maintain. The ECU programming probably comes from the ZX-10R racing side of things so there's much less development about that.
My 2018 900 Zed is the best bike I have owned in 50+ years. no ABS, a 31.3 SEAT HEIGHT and 14 pounds lighter than the 2019 model. You can not go wrong with these machines, they are like a precision watch
I like it. I can't really criticize Kawa for the styling but kinda wish they went a bit more aggressive and unique like what they did with the last generation Z1000. That design is amazing
Am I the only one who thinks they really missed the mark with this Sugomi design? It doesn’t look anything like a Z, especially with those tail lights. The previous iteration looks much better and proportionate.
I love this update, and have been waiting for it since a long time!!! But sadly, the Street triple RS 2024 will eat this z900SE for breakfast with 7HP more power and a whopping 26 KILOGRAMS lesser weight!!! The only thing better in the z900SE is the 19nm extra torque.
I was hoping they would shed some weight and add some hp. At almost 470lbs, 123hp is definitely disappointing for a 948cc. The Triumph 765 base model has 118 hp and weights in at 417 wet.
Because if you believe there's a vast difference in mass from one bike to another that's between 425 pounds to 460 pounds, there just isn't. The greater differences is in how the suspension and chassis is set up, the greater differences is in how the power comes on at usable RPM ranges. The greater differences is in your personal skill level, and adaptation to which ever bike you own and ride, the greater differences is in your willingness to push the limits of the machine you already have. Tossing money to the wind isn't going to give you the romantic magical solution to all your riding problems (most of it, a lack of training and lack of willingness to learn how to increase your riding skill). Obsessing over spreadsheets is one thing, but it's not a very good use of time. Make a decision, don't make that decision because of the weight of a man's digested dinner or full bladder, or lack of desire to lose weight and get in shape.
Hey kawasaki its time to upgrade the power on this bike. Its heavily detuned from factory specially in higher rev range. It can easily make 130-140 horses. Unleash it full
Have a '22 twilight blue Z9. Doesn't have all the tech, but it's been my favorite bike out of 50. My new gsxs1000gt has a quick shifter and I turned it off. The Z9's engine is much smoother and imo is more powerful. It's truly a great machine. Had n mt09 and traded it in for the Z. The Z will be buried with me.
Exhaust sound doesn't match the video . Anyway, what are the changes? Video was supposed to highlight whats new which they hardly have except for minor headlight and taillight changed and cockpit..
My God it Gets a Bi Directional Quickshifter, 6axis IMU function, Cornering Management, Cruise Control, Brembo Brakes 🔥🤯 That's Mind-blowing
That is industry standard in this class......
@Allenamenwarenschonweg yeah 🔥
Only on Special edition
@@arunrajlparanjothi4355 Basic model got it too.
@@Hanzo636 there was another longer video from kawasaki europe UA-cam channel i guess. These add on features are specific to SE models.
Hell yeah, finally gets kqs and radial calipers and so much more. Well done.
That is only for the SE model
What's key difference between radial calipers and regular calipers?
CC will open up convenient long distance riding.❤
@@The-Celestial Brembo brakes yes only for SE version but the basic gets nissin radial calipers too.
@@MotoDash1100
Alignment, rigidity, easier maintenance
Looks cool and reliable, keep up the great work, Kawasaki! A fan/rider since 2003, now almost 2025.
About time it's updated. Bike just moved to top of my list.
Me too
The headlight is much more aggressive, beautiful. To me, this is what the zh2 SHOULD look lile.
What about compared to new Hornet?
@@whitegoodman7465 The headlight is hideous... Way too small and looks like the Z500. Not aggressive enough...

Finally Kawasaki is back to life 🧩
A true art, Kawasaki is simply fantastic.🙏🏻
I still love the Z1000 cowl and headlights, looked like 4 reptilian monster eyes staring back at you. This looks finally better than the older z900

Exactly.. Doing the same with 2023 one of mine.
Yeah not worth the upgrade I'm sure for a 900 owner. It's an amazing upgrade for me as a 2020 Z650 owner however.

I love my Z900 2021 and still loving till the end. Now, with these new Z900 2025 my heart is thriving and rumbling to SWITCH or not.
as a z900 2018 owner, i'm sold again to this model. finally! bike is loaded ! in my wish list :DDD well done KAWASAKI
if decepticons became bikes this would be it. looks so cool
Bring back a modern GPZ 750 Turbo & GPZ 1100 in red & black.
Sure, but I'd prefer them to bring back their KX 2 stroke dirt bikes first.
Now it's a full package....no complaints at all.....❤
I like it. I can't really criticize Kawa for the styling but kinda wish they went a bit more aggressive and unique like what they did with the last generation Z1000. That design is amazing
The beast has reincarnated into a monsters machine with modern touch Z900 🔥🔥🔥
I love my 2024 z900 SE. But the 2025 it is a full package bike.. no complaints at all 💙
I have one 2022 Z900SE...this new model is the next step.
They nailed it this time
Yeeee ******** haw!! Beautiful
Sweet a quick shifter, so all you Kawi bros can finally find first 😁 shots fired 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
待ってました、予約します
Did it dirty with the new headlight
Awesome
Old is gold
The most beautiful machine builds never ♥♥

It looks more consistent with the Ninjas now
@@Motoboo_Marine I agree but this isnt a ninja so doesnt really make sense
@@OneCleanKawi exactly my thoughts too
radial calipers 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looking forward for test ride of this model soon❤
Full z1000 vibe🙌
Looks like Kawasaki got the Z900 designed from the Yamaha MT series designers 😂😂😂😂

I’m thinking of getting this as my next bike, you guys think the upgrades on the 25 is worth it over the 24?
Tight tight tight blue yellow pink whatever you want
😂
正統進化って感じでかっこいい

So buy the Triumph. And use the restroom before you ride.
@@exothermal.sprocket
cuz you’ll pee your pants from the performance
😂
@@exothermal.sprocketwhy the restroom reference , please explain
Glad you're satisfied with 123hp. My point was that something as small as a Triumph 765 would give the Z900 a run. @exothermal.sprocket

Soon as citizens disband the tyrant environmental regulators.
Congratulations 🎊 from India, westindies
We want 2024 z900 looks back please🙏 😭
Please launch in Bangladesh 💯❤️✅💎🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Front looks like the new Honda Hornet.. Less character in this bike.Besides the new tecnology, i love the old Z900. It stands out from the crowd.
Nice 180 from the retro look!!
The retro look and the previous version of this has existed side by side
As in, this isn't replacing that...
@ oh nice. That’s even better!
Its looking gorgeous ❤❤
everything about the bike is just amazing. But why kill the headlights 🥲. I love the headlights of the previous gen
But how much are you bringing up the price with these add ons, or will it only be on the SE model?

One day Inshallah❤❤❤
Cuando llegará a México?
Dream Bike❤
Beautiful.
God. It’s my dream to have an inline 4 machine, please bless me…
Love it, will be mine ❤, but when.. :))😊
I misread, I thought it was the Z900 rs. NEXT!
The head lights look like a very very pissed of angry BUMBLEBEE
Perfect killer machine 😈😈
My favorite bike
Its nice that you implemented quickshifter but tbh i prefer the 2k20 model!
nice vid
Nice look ❤
we love kawasaki terbaik
i hope they update the z1000 and add more rider aids but still maintain the looks
Update it? It was discontinued in 2017
So killer.
Finally they fixed the head light 😂
You mean ruined*
This eyes💀
Hello MT09. Finally the Z has the equipment to match it.
Still too much weight though...
@@Snoekie89it's an inline 4 so the extra weight is inevitable
@@JahoSelamaj most inline 4s are 400-440. this is a heavyyyy bike. Ive owned two over 3 years now.
Wow they finally added everything its competition has had for years 😂
release date here in the philippines?
Wow nice
KAWASAKI 💪💪
Almost there. Still lacking a bit of refined look in the styling dept. bring the Z1100 to the US, and you’ll get my money.
Exhaust sound doesn't match the video . Anyway, what are the changes? Video was supposed to highlight whats new which they hardly have except for minor headlight and taillight changed and cockpit..
凄み😎Z❤
Whether it will be Bi directional or uni directional KQS
I hope kawasaki made it lighter in weight
Z900 x z 1000 🎉🎉🎉
Dang! Yes!
Wow!
lazy update, still very heavy!
Imagine having to mention abs on a 2025 900cc bike
We need Z800 in india ❤❤❤❤
🎯🔑Release ✔️💯ALL in the PHILIPPINE👈 market ❤ We All Love❤️2025 Ninja z900🛣⏳️🙂🙂🙂♡
Z900RSも電子スロットル、電子制御化かな。発表来たら早めに予約しよ。
When Honda launches Hornet cb1000 then 😂 Kawasaki be like . Why we are always late
Is it really for India? I don't believe. May the the SE version that never comes here?
best
Pls pls do sell this bike in philippine market?
Please Kawasaki bring back your Z250
Look fresh
Hey Kawasexy, switch to Sport mode. ♥️
Please tell me it will launch in India, please🙏
