It sounds like this new model has a much more forgiving throttle response than previous years...

We have one of these as the prize but with gold wheels in our 2025 charity event

Just got one two months ago came from a zx6r and a sportster . What a ride these are, can give them a really hard time and it makes it feel effortless

Quite fancy one of these myself.

Had mine since last year, 5.5K on it. still makes me smile.

I’m going for my first mod 1 training session in a few days, any suggestions and tips?

They are a fab looking bike.. saw them at the NEC Show and what a bike. I’d love one. Faye is flying with da paintings, good woman no bother to her. How’s da digit now Shaun..

The kid at the end was in time with the music 😂😂😂

I’m collecting a z900RS SE in 3 days!!!!! I’ve watched so many videos about it I’m now on to the Japanese videos 😂

I've just rode one on demo night. Good solid bike. Did sound lovely with the aka exhaust. Felt very planted and gave me a lot of confidence... But... I got back on my Ducati Scrambler 1100 to ride home and wouldn't swap it. Mine has much more character. Sounds better with the termis on and has much more instant power. Great bike that kawasaki though 😊

The rad & lack of proper twin rear shocks ,spoils it for me . I like the old school paint job on the tank though . I never judge a bike by its specs either ,at the end of the day ,it’s what a bike is like & how it feels to you that counts . Good to see you out & about on a bike . 👍

Other reviewers reckon this is a 750w and engwe is just saying 250w to get past the law, would you agree?

In that particular colour scheme that has to be the best looking of the Japanese Retros, it's a stunner (TMF loves his too in that colour) - I always really liked the original too to be fair.

I looked at buying one but for some reason Kawasaki don’t do the SE ( gold forks ohlins ) with the yellow /green paint … so I bought a BMW RS instead

A very nice bike indeed.

yes, by a country mile.

Good to see you back riding mate !

Not really my kind of thing but I would take mine in the Root beer and orange.

Triumph speed twin 1200, hold my beer

Z900rs is ☆☆☆☆☆ Best looking modern retro. On my second, had 1 when first released in 18 aand like a fool sold it. Bought another a few months ago, and not letting this 1 go. Have delkevic 4 into 4 on it...looks the mutts nuts and sounds 🎼🎶🎼🎶 Safe rides mate 🍻🇬🇧

I've just sold mine cos of health. Beautiful green with Delcovich headers. Broke my bloody heart 😢

Aftermarket headers, "breadbox" delete, stock muffler. These sound mega. They are "detuned" from the normal 900, but have more torque down low, way more useful on the road

As a teenager with a RD250 watching Mad Max I wanted a Z900, never affordable. FF to 2009 wanting a naked bike, bought a Triumph Street Triple, a riot of legal / illegal fun until 5 years of bad health. Now Z900RS available it's too late, I've gone older with Tiger 955i.

I wonder if a dealer can step up & provide you with a demo or used bike for a tour for publicly Shaun.

My favourite retro styled bike too! Had a GSX1400, would like one of these at some point.

Kawasaki nailed the 900RS and the cafe racer version is cool too.

I think ill treat me self to one of them for my 60th in a couple of years..cheers

Great review she,s a beauty

Absolutely loved this bike, they are so nice to ride. Brilliant machines.

Hi Shaun, that is a cool bike, do like the look of this Z900RS and the yellow on racing green paint work reminds me of the the late 60's early 70's Lotus racing colours on there F1 cars and sports cars of the time. Kawasaki do make a decent road bike, a possible future buy. Hope you get a bike soon, catch you both again Take care

It's a lovely bike. Is it what you need?

No chance of loan bike for tour?

Hi Fella. I bought one of these in March 2019. Colour orange/brown. Spent a fortune on it. Dekelvic 4 into four pipes, round old style indicators, colour matched rear hugger and a few bit more like white tank badges, old style side badges, rad grill, tail tidy. Simply loved the bike BUT after an hour or so of riding it god how my butt ached!! Don't get me wrong these are fabulous bikes but I cannot recommend them for long journeys let alone tours so sadly sold it to superbike factory with just 3344 miles on the clock. Keep safe, Old Bloke

Have they tamed the glitchy throttle. The one I test rode a few yrs ago put me off

👍 Great bike and perfect for solo touring. If you got the suspension set up for your weight it would totally transform its handling.

Im not a fan of the retro bikes personally but love the standard Z. Im having one delivered on Saturday 😀

That's kawasaki inline four cylinder engines smoothssssss

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I have a soft spot for any Z Kawasaki. Why back in the day I went from a KZ400 then next year bought a Z1R, pale blue, beautiful. I lived to through it, would love to have it back. The new ones capture the old school look very nicely, guessing modern performance! Very nice, lucky you.

I love the Z900RS, unfortunately I Needed other bikes. Like you I live in a very damp climate for months on end and it would be a crime to put such a classy bike through that, as I ride year-round. If my Mrs didn't love riding on the back of the Ultra Classic, I'd trade it for the Kawasaki. I have two Kawasakis that I need to move on, a 02) ZZR1200 and an 18) KLR 650.

Don't know if this is of any use to you but Maghull motorcycles have some cheap bikes in decent enough condition. I wouldn't call it a premium experience but I got a my VFR there and i have no comlaints.

Must be for you the number one choice,remember life is short.

You've carted Faye on your pillion for several years now, all over the continent..., so now it's her turn to carry you on her pillion for once, problem solved !! Btw, you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket..., says me who never does, despite wanting that win.

I've had mine since 2021 and it still puts a big grin on my face

I’m on my second and love it👍

Love that Bike, especially its grunt when you twist ya right wrist..., you know, the one that makes the countryside pass by faster! Even with the standard can she sounds a million quid, almost making the Akra' superficial..., having said that, I don't know how it affects the performance. Of course, we like the fact it's carrying round analog clocks plus the colour choices that reflect this great bike's history. Yep, exactly the sort of bike that makes you wanna spend the rest of your life "behind bars". I reckon this would do me well if I was on the market again.

The new Kawasaki is stunning. Can’t fault it and ultra reliable. Deffo the best styled retro.

For the money I would opt for an original myself.

Saw one of these "in the flesh" at the Kawasaki Bike day Ace Cafe London . Stunning Bike.

Great looking bike, I am a bit of a Kawasaki fan girl as my first bike KH125 and second bike ZXR400 and current bike z400, when I walk in to a Kawasaki dealer I get a warm feeling, more then other brands. 😊 Hope you get the bike sorted for you holiday
