★ 2019 KAWASAKI Z900 REVIEW ★

[@drfelixfarsider2346]

In April I bought my 2019 Z900 (Black/Gray w/red frame & wheels -killer looks!). $8,700 here in the great northwest, U.S. absolutely the best “bike for the buck” I’ve ever owned.

How’s it been for you since January David Harrison ? Have you checked out the triumph street triple compared to the Z900?

[@003_kusarigama5]

@@unknown-tr3gk Street triple rs can compete against this but will be heavier on your pocket though

Josh V the z900 is so much fun! I modified a gel pad with some memory foam and workout mat. It also gave me some more leg room and a softer seat.

[@ProdbyAdwerdz]

Just rode my 2019 z900 off the lot today. Coming from a z125 I was a lil overwhelmed at first. It took some getting use too. I'm loving the torque. The engine roar sounds beautiful, it actually caught some peoples attention and they smiles. Plenty of fun. I lean forward a lil bit than expected, but not too bad.The seat wasn't bad. The mirrors suck, I wanted to break them off. Mirrors, levers, tail and ugly exhaust needs to go asap. The breaks are great. It has plenty of power that I need. Turning and maneuvering is beautiful, you really don't have to put any effort into it, it's like you think it and the bike just moves and turns in that direction for you lol. I can't wait get use to it and break it in. This will be my baby for a good while. I'm in love

[@markpulling12]

@@2017Toy hi Danny yes the cb650 is more powerful 90 hp vs the Ninja 650 65 hp ,due to the fact it has an inline 4 engine vs the twin of the Kawasaki ,but that's not the whole story ,you'll get more low down power with the twin like punch , whereas the Honda will need to be revved more to get it's more power ,yes ultimately the cb650 is more powerful and revvy but if you're new to biking the Ninja 650 will more than impress you good luck with your choice mark

Hi nathan ,as soon as my local suzuki dealer has one ill be taking it out ,its a belter apparently ,similar to the z900 but you have to rev it a bit more,plus it comes with traction control ,its well priced too all the best mark

[@ewooll]

I've had a few rides on my mate's GSXS-1000F plus a test ride on the GSX-S750 and I probably preferred the 750. It had a nice smooth power with torque down below and just got quicker the more you revved it. The 1000 was just way too powerful for me, a total brute and wanted to go silly speeds if you gave it a handful.

Hi mike ,it was different as in ,harsher suspension,more sporty ,similar engine feel,the rs was a softer ride,I prefered the riding position you kind of sat in it more , think it kind of depends if you want all round rs or more aggresive z9,see what you mean about the cb1000r looks very nice all the best mark

Other than that, its a wonderfully fun bike to ride! I am going to install an Annitori quick shifter on it soon. Oh, I also wish the rev limiter was a little higher. It climbs to redline too quickly.

Looks a nice bike and as you say fantastic value for £8,500. But they should have put TC on it with all that grunt. How much extra would that have cost them? Certainly possible. It's the only negative imho. Is there an options list or is the upgrade option to get a better spec like TC, quick shifter/blipper, modes and cruise control the Z1000? Shall look forward to your review of the BMW S1000R. As a tip you might mention tyres on these new bikes you are testing. Many thanks.

Thanks alex ,il lhave a look at the tyre makes from now on atb mp

[@blipco5]

You've probably heard about it before, this bike doesn't have traction control AND DOESNT NEED IT. You are not giving credit to just how smooth this engine is. If you are going to be racing MotoGP I suppose you would need it to keep up but for the street..not necessary. Other bikes have it, such as the MT 09 but from all the reviews I've seen, the mt09 needs it due to snatchy throttle response. The z900 motor is a dream. The one negative about this bike is the OEM Dunflops are total shite. Shame on Kawasaki for using them.

[@tammyforbes2101]

I wonder how this compares to the Z1000, like a few years older, say a 2016 model! I notice they no longer sale the Z1000, just the Z900, and ninja 1000, and H2 z if you have to have a 200hp touring bike 🤦🏼‍♂️

i am a total bike newbie, newer drove anything above 50cc apart from driving school until last weekend. I had a Z 900 for the weekend for a road trip, drove nearly 700km with it, and my takes were (please keep in mind that i am a accomplished car racing driver who holds a regional license and regularly is on podium): * Very fun bike at low speeds, not so fun at 130kph or above (bad helmet, low front plexiglass added to this) * I absolutely hated the clutch assist, i had no feel on it and constantly had issues at low speed with it. Very fast to use at high speed upshifts tho * 125hp very fun at low speeds, enough grunt for that. above 120kph not so much. (see #1) * very easy to handle for a beginner like for me, decent feel when starting to lose front end grip while cornering. does not easily loose rear grip at all. * riding on a long trip at high way speeds there def was vibration * on dark the dash looks very nice, i only saw it on half dark dusk. when well lit not so much. * It was overally fun ride, and even the huge discomfort i had riding at highway speeds, the very first thing i can think of is "can i go again?" is very telling. It's super fun, even with the discomfort at highway speeds (bear in mind, non aerodynamic helmet, and low front plexiglass and i am quite large)

The S1000r is a beast if you want it but a great allrounder. Only 2 things I dont like on mine is the hero nobs on the pegs, they caught the top of my boots so removed them and the clutch lever is a real stretch although it has auto up and downs, changed for adjustable. The dynamic package with electronic suspension etc is great if you want to carry a pillion. S1000r is best naked at the moment if you have the cash. I also loved my 2016 MT09 for hooning around but S1000r with cruise control etc is great on short and long trips...

When are u reviewing the Street triple RS???

Might do that one next time I'm in triumph Lucifer :)

@@markpulling12 Do compare it with Z900 and MT09.

@@easygoeasybe I have a review on the mt09 on my channel :)

Ps you need to get your camera closer or get a hand hel camera so we can see the dash better , cheers Shane

[@themountainboy4014]

This bike is good for touring??

[@markpulling12]

It's not ideal due to it's lack of fairing ,but you can tour on any bike so 200 miles a day would be ok on this :) all the best mark

Do you prefer Z900 or Z900rs

[@markpulling12]

Hi Stephen,I prefer the z900rs ,love it's looks and the suspension felt better to me , thanks Mark

Revcomps

[@steve-wu7jp]

I do like this bike, smart looking and aggressive. I still think radial brakes and TC should have been included. GSX and MT both have them and are similar price. This airbox really had a rough and exciting tone. If you end up testing the GSX it needs to be revved high up like a 600 to get the same exciting rush of power.

[@markpulling12]

Hi yes must try the gsx s 750 ,like the look of that one all the best mark

[@ridingwithsam]

You don't need TC. It has literally never kicked in on my 2018 MT09

[@fyorbane]

The Z900 does not need traction control. Rode one recently and boy what a fun bike this is. The Z900 is considerably more potent and gruntier than the GSX 750S. If I was in the market to buy a sporty naked for this sought of money It would be between this and the superb Triumph 765 Street Triple R.

mark pulling yes i saw it in my dream while i was riding it i woke up all excited😂😂

[@jeffrt3893]

I test road this bike. I didn't like how high the foot pegs sit. I am a spoiled owner of the Yamaha MT-09 with 23,000 miles on the odometer. I feel like the 847 cc triple engine has more power and character.

[@ajmf-hy8qt]

You feel but you are wrong.

[@joshrandall5297]

Too bad the MT has a Motocross seat.

[@rogn100]

Hi I have the Z900. A friend has an MT09. We both love them for their differences! The MT will wheelie anywhere and the Z builds its power more slowly. The z also suits my 5' 6"

[@markjohnson8276]

The MT09 has less power than the Z900. Z900 a better alrounder, test road both bikes. MT09 has a nice triple engine, but you feel like you are riding a supermoto and the suspension isn't the best once you really get going through the twistys. I bought the Z900, mates got a MT09, both accelerate about the same upto 70mph and then the Z900 starts to pull away a bit. Bigger engine and more horse power comes into play.

[@jeffrt3893]

@@markjohnson8276 I disagree, in a way. The FZ-09/MT-09 has more power up front, meaning more immediate power/torque. I should know, I have 23,000 miles on mine. I have test ridden the 2019 Z900. Also, mine is a 2014 (1st gen = worst suspension), and when calibrated correctly (to Sport Bike Riders Magazine specs), the bike does wonders in the corners. FYI: I am not saying the Z900 is a bad bike, but everyone has their own taste. I have become fond of the immediate power and flickability of the FZ-09.

[@0Turbox]

It's funny to see these high powered bikes driving the hole time below 60. It's like using a Leopard 2 as a golf cart ;)

[@Mr.Blessed.]

Does it have a fuel tank indicator?

[@markpulling12]

Hi yes it does have a small lcd fuel gauge

[@danj7123]

There's an official Kawa higher seat which is an inch higher and I'm guessing a touch plusher.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks for the info daniel ! all the best mark

Was there a competition to see how many times the word "aggressive" could be used in one bike review... The bike is brilliant..I know...I own one... And I don't think I have used the word aggressive...at all..

[@booshting3520]

Looking at this or MT09

[@Baste_Bastesen]

Try both.. and go for what U like best. I bought a Z900, 2017 mob. ( performance ) Love the engine, so powerful. 948 ccm. No prob with the bike yet, driven 35.000 km. Looking forward to spring in North Norway

[@tonytesoriero1242]

does it have a center stand?

[@markpulling12]

Hi tony sorry no

[@PremierNZ-qb5zd]

Honda do a modern CB1000R super naked.

[@fyorbane]

Yes. Tested both the Honda and the Z900 and I have to say the Kawasaki was more fun even though it has lower spec suspension and less power.

[@flashRIGA]

Review the Z900 2020 if you can !!!

[@markpulling12]

Definitely !! Should be out soon I guess

[@johnbanks9392]

@@markpulling12 Great stuff mate, keep up the good work :)

[@Audace1400]

I like the cb1000r also. But I don't think it will offer hugely better riding experience than the z900. Seeing that the z900 is $8500 USD and the CB1000R is $13000 USD. The build quality on the Honda is nice though.

[@malikcarson4808]

Like the looks of the bike , until you look at the shape and how low the downpipes are ,, very ugly and spoil the looks of the bike in my opinion, shame as I like Kawasaki’s cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

The arrow header pipes look more sleeker, doesn't stick out like the stock They do have belly pans to cover the bottom up a lil bit and add some character.
