The most important thing is underwear 😅😅Damn you

Wheelie on hornet..how ??😊😊 Traction off?

Cool trip review. It's not a supersport. Only 81 Hp but 78Nm of torque at 6,800 so good pull for every day use. The quick shifter likes later down shifts. Is it good enough to justify a trade from an 8S>

If I had the money I’d probably upgrade from my ‘98 Think I paid $9800 new. 😅And had to call 21 dealers just to find one. Great review mate👌🏻

Is the same bike as the 2024 CB500F in the USA? I'm not familiar with the name "Hornet".

Ty

I love your enthusiastic little laughter when you pull the throttle...

Yay Dans back! Welcome back! Thanks for the vid. Loved it. Love the bike, think it looks brilliant and sounds awesome. I'd have one :D Will make sure I wear the right pants tho, thanks for the Top Tip

Very good video English biker Dan the only thing is that I don’t like the looks of the bike but I consider buying a Suzuki

a quick question for you regarding the Honda CB500 and the the Aprila RS457 they are similar bikes and price and very similar pricing. But have tested the Aprila RS457 the reason for asking is that it came out this year and it costs about 6000 thousand pounds but it’s the same design as the RS660 and the engine sounds exactly the same it might be worth looking into at some point

They need to scrap this Z900 and bring back the Zx9R

How it compare to Cb1000r ?

Z650 was 2020 (TFT Dash). I Got one after watching your Video This Z900 SE. Could have the Same effect on me. 😂 Kawasaki's have a Positive Neutral Finder you can't get into Second till you Ride off..

You have to remove the fuel tank to change the air filter! SHYTE!! Das ist alles gefekkin shizzer as the French would say.

Yes nice bike but I would rather have the Suzuki GSX S 1000 which appears to offer more for the price. But I would be quite happy with this too.

I agree dan, i wasn't fussed either. Also I don't understand people wanting POWER for tourers, the whole point of touring is to enjoy the scenery, you can't do that at warp acceleration or high speed, they're just being cocks. Keep it on track like i do.

WHAT ? really ?? - NO cruise control ??!! ⁉⁉😱😱😱😱 The F....K is this ????!!!!!

I really like Kawasaki, but I feel the bike is let down without a quickshift option along with no heated grip. Nice review tho Dan. 😊

Think concourse 14 be a great 2nd bike brother to this in garage one does this other that

Dude. You're reviewing the bike. Maybe give us the fork details? It's kind of your job😂

Shame there's no shifter and blipper

How's it to the mt09 you rode?

Nice review! Kawasaki really need a new design team as their recent bikes are awful 😣

I had a '21 Z900RS which, IMHO, was a much better UJM. Perhaps it lacked some of the sportier performance aspects of the Z900 but it was much more comfortable (for me) and versatile. More importantly, it's a jewel to look at whereas the Z900 takes some time to enjoy its appearance.

Dan the engine is broken the cylinder's are sticking out of the side of the block. 😕😕😕

Which one is faster? Z900 or MT 09.

I'm sure like many I've overlooked this bike. But I've grown used to the style and quite the look - more than the retro version in fact. And it seems it's a good do anything bike still with decent performance. Kawa models suffer from seldom hitting the headlines on those specs but as you say, test ride it.

I just couldn’t live with the looks ! A lot to insectoide for me 😂

Nice review! Most of the current Kawasaki range might not be cutting edge, but they seem to be good solid bikes. Tech etc. is all to often just “shop window”. I’d be very interested to hear your opinion on the Kawasaki Ninja1000SX.

TL;DR: This bike can't be ever be A2 compliant. It can't be "power restricted" to ever be A2 compliant, since part of that license class says: "not exceeding 35kW (47 hp)" and crucially for this case: "not derived from a vehicle of more than double its power" AND in its unrestricted state it exceeds the power/weight ratio limit of 0.2 kW/kg by being more than double that at 0.43 kW/kg.

Special announcement: motorcycles are more reliable/fun than wives. Also, you're legally able to have more than one motorcycle. 😅

Gear question: What type of gloves are those? (I definitely want them).

I had the 2022 z900 and for me it was an awful bike. Didn't like the riding position, the engine felt strange like it was always struggling. The seats were like bricks and have my ass a rash after each ride.

Wasn't a 2024 model. But i considered a Z900 ended up opting for the gen3 MT-09. Less power but over all a better bike for me. For the life of me can't understand why they wouldn't stick a QS on the Z, especially when you consider even the lesser powered bikes like the gsx-8s an the hornet 750 come with them as standard....

Like the looks and sound.

I have to smile when bike testers say a bike has minimal electronics. All modern bikes which have fuel injection and electronic ignition now incorporates "can bus" technology which relies on a multitude of sensors and microprocessors. If your bike has a diagnostic port, it's probably more "electronic" than your laptop.

I have the 2021version and have 32000km on it . I still love it . The only time i buy another one will be as it has more cc. But for the moment im very happy with it

I quite like the minimal tech but if I was in the market for a big Kawasaki i'd probably go for the Ninja Performance Tourer thing. It's more expensive but a bit more versatile.

I purchased this bike last month, and I must say it's one of the best bikes I've ever ridden. I've had a lot of fun on this bike and have no regrets. The MT-09 was a close contender for first place. As Dan mentioned, you really need to ride the bike to fully understand its handling capabilities.

I would say this is their best looking single cylinder bike and reviews indicate it handles more responsively too. The riding position also seems a bit more practical than the cuiser type Meteor 350 and bolt upright of the Classic 350. Retro looks without too much chrome and a bit more of an aggressive stance 👌

Kawasaki need to play catch- up

I almsot booked this bike, it was toooo smooth and kinda felt boring...

Excited to get this as my first bike❤️

Nice bike. I’ve owned 3 BMWs and currently a gen 3 hayabusa. On all 4 bikes I run them in mode a with all aids set to minimum. I ride in all weathers and have yet to need traction control. Abs is a good thing but all this lean sensitive stuff is not relevant to the majority of road riders. Well done Kawasaki.

ugly honda 😂

Good video Dan. Looks like a nice motorbike.

Love it and only tech that is really needed.

Yamaha XSR 900 for me thank you

And then you went and talked about the K5. I still miss my K7. 😢😢😢😢😢

Mine was black and red. The bike was terrific. I sold it because of the seat. No movement was allowed so you're stuck in the one spot and my ass got sore. I could only last an hour. So if you are 183cm and 110 kg look for another bike.
