At 5’6” and 140lbs I dont mind the weight at low speed as long as Im riding it, but when its time to reverse out or in to a parking spot I have to hop off and push it, and thats way more scary than just riding at 1mph lol

Cool video I have exact same bike only thing I have problem with it is the seats on longer rides there hard for me my weight is 155 pounds and 5-7hieght and I feel balanced at low speed turning if I use the back brakes with throttle as I'm slowing and turning

Not sure if I would like having to turn my head left and right more to see whats behind me than the regular mirrors. But if you all like them that's your choice. I'm thinking of just sticking on round blind spot mirrors and be done with it and enjoy riding 😉

To give you another perspective on low RPM torque - when I first got mine - one time I accidentally forgot to downshift at a stop . When I started moving again - I had a little trouble because I was in 3rd gear . I was able to get going - I didn't choke down - then I realized I was in 3rd . It was hard to believe because I know I would have not been able to do that so easily with any other bike that I have ridden ...

I am an old kawasaki fan - the first new street bike I ever bought was a KZ 750 1984 ( I was about 27 then ) . It was a light metal flake blue one with a dark blue pinstripe. I searched for hours and only found one or two of that color . 20 years ago I got a used 1984 KZ 550 LTD . Then in 2019 I got a red Z900 ( only has ABS ) . I liked it so much that I then got a blue 2020 just like yours . I have 1500 miles on it and about 6500 miles on the red one . I love them both - I am also 6 1 and about 200 lbs . I don't do tricks or anything but on the red 2019 bike - after the 600 mile break in, I always accelerated hard . Even so, I got 5000 on the rear tire before replacement . I almost never use the rear brake ... The fastest I have been is 145 MPH on both bikes . What about you ?

Thank you for doing this review. I have the 2019 Z400. I am thinking trading to the Z900. My biggest question...how is the seat? I am around your height and weight and after 45 min to 1 hour on the Z400 my groin area goes numb from the vibration. Do you have the same issues on the Z900?
@alexandercameron6452 жыл бұрын
Change the seat if you want but don't let that be the reason you miss.out on an extra 70 horses. This bike is an absolute monster compared to a 400 or 600

You keep talking about the weight of this motorcycle. It's a 948cc bike @ 468 lbs. But, a Yamaha MT10 that is only 62cc larger weighs the same amount of weight. The weight isn't that bad. It's lighter than the Z1000 by +20 lbs and lighter than the Z800 by 41lbs.... Overall, great video thanks!

Hello again, I commented on this video 1 year ago. I just found this video again,... i did indeed wind up getting the Z900. In fact, mine is also ac2020 in candy plasma blue! 👍 Your review is spot on. In fact, as I write this I am at the 2000 mile mark as well.😁 I bought it April of 2021 and it's now October. The Z900 has met all my expectations except one..the tires. At 2K, the front tire is worn, scalped on the sides. I am not an aggressive rider by any means so it's a bit frustrating that I just spent over $400 on new tires, right at the end if the riding season. I will need to sort this out before I ruin my new Michelin Raod 5 tires, unless of course it was just a bad tire. But the Z is amazing. Cheers.
