I test road the new Z900 this past week. It has everything I thought the MT09 was missing. Better suspension, a decent traction control system, and a nice color TFT. Not to take away from the MT09 but this bike feels more refined.

[@Osajunior90]

I drove the MT09 and bought the 2020 z900 and I agree with you. Just the sound of the z900 is a bit too polite... Getting a full akra system now.. Should fix it. And I got the pirelli angel 2 tires.. The dunlops are good stock, but are a bit slow on warming up and traction is not the best

[@Jmeez69]

@@Osajunior90 good move on upgrading the tires.

[@Osajunior90]

Update: got full akra system on the z900 and it sounds sick!!! :D

[@sushibar1]

Mt-09 has quickshifter

[@Bredaxe]

@@sushibar1 I know that they added it in the last few years, now if they only put some real front suspension on the bike. They improved it from the initial models, but it's still a weak point on an otherwise good bike.

[@Kruik013]

I bought this bike 1.5 month ago, it's great! Everything I could wish for. You can ride really calm, but when twisting the throttle, it's becoming a monster! It's also amazing how much interaction you'll get when riding it.

[@markpulling12]

Great comment Remy thanks

[@Lex-Rex]

When did manual shifting on a motorcycle become something you don't want? Meaning, I rather row through gears than use a quick shifter -- especially when not on track which 99.7 percent of the populace does.

[@MrB590]

Right

[@PaulThorpeOfficial]

Own the 2019 version and its absolutely magnificent. So with the improvements on the 2020 model its just about perfect. Cracking value for money.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Paul , great choice :)

[@MrJonesy]

I have 2020 black. 4 years later and i still love it. Commute everyday for 4 years. Apart from tyres and pads, swaped out oem chain and sprokets. About to change rotors both ends. Run Michelin road5. 52 mpg. I have thought about trading her in but there is nothing else i want and would regret it for the rest of my life. She is a keeper.

[@Uber1Noob]

Thanks Mark. Can't wait to see Z H2. The wind may be a little too much on that one. Z 9 is amazing. Just under 1 litre so insurance co. are happier and you get more than enough power for *non track* days. All Z series are very nice.

Great review! I'm still riding my 2016 500 pound Z800 like a hooligan. I think next year will be an upgrade to the 2021 ZH2.

[@allancooper3865]

Bro , I was thinking “the same” . , I’ve been on a 650/Vulcan S “like a hooligan” for the past 2 plus years , and have rode a few seasons back in high school , but wasn’t sure ❓ if I’m skilled or knowledgable enough to be able to not be attempted to really see what it can do ..❓I’m between the zh2 & the z9hundo 🤷🏼‍♂️ , the zh2 is super 🔥🔥🔥 fast and they say is more made for the streets or the freeways hear in the US , and that it’s not really built for the track (hence the limitations on the zh2), but the z900 is or was Kawasaki’s flagship along with the z1000 in the USA , but basically I just need it for the half hour commute each way , and I’m wondering if that z900 will be not enough for me , and if the zh2 will have more than enough for me and kill me 🤪🤨😜✌🏼

Ok Lee , great choice btw :)

[@vincentcausey8498]

Must admit, very tempted with this bike. I like the Ninja 1000 too but it's a bit too heavy for everyday use. This is a great size though. I think a good touring screen would be enough for wind protection on longer motorway trips, and then you have the perfect all purpose bike.

[@albyr5287]

Great review mate. Just wished you could have also used the metric system. Maybe next review you can include it so it’s easier for us to understand. Good job. Keep it up.

Get yourself up to Came Down... Dorchester Bypass, down the A354 towards Weymouth but first left for Winterborne Herringstone (Keep an eye out).,Then up past the golf course. There are some bends there that will give you something to think about but nice roads with little traffic. Beautiful views from on top of the down before either heading down towards Weymouth or back to Broadmayne.

5’3 tall and can touch the ground. I own the 19 model $8300 OTD. GREAT VALUE! I like it.

[@baotrankhuu1872]

@Tony in Tasmania yes same issue as I do. I'm looking for this new Z900 but higher the seat might get me struggled to handle with it. The previous z900 is fine for me. I'm also 5'4.. about 164cm and I can easily handle with it by haft of my feet.

[@teddysandbank9941]

I am 5'5" with a 28" inseam and I use Sidi canyon boots. They have a thicker sole than typical road racing boots. I also had a shoe repair add an 8mm sole and heal to the boots to give more lift. I found no problem with shifting or rear braking. This works well for me. I'm not a fan of low seats in most cases. I'm not a fan of low suspension either. They come with disadvantages.

[@pjgoblin3435]

Hi mark great vid mate, looking for second bike this summer. Initially looking at a second hand low mileage GSX S750 or even S1000, after seen this review and the money you pay serouisly considering a brand new one of these. Now they have a better electronics package ie tracking control and power modes. All round led's is a win win for me. Will be booking a test ride first thing... 👍👍😎

On this bike you won't be doing a lot of cruising! Such a fun machine.

It'll really come down to this or the Triumph Striple RS. May not be a fair comparison seeing the type of kit the Triumph has. Still the savings can't be disregarded, the Kwacker seem like such a great bike .I think it's cheaper by close to 5,000 pounds in India too!

Hello Mark , another great review ! You may not recall but I have commented before on your reviews.

Hmm got me thinking now.. Good review dude. .!!!

[@richardmarsh1332]

Hi Mark great review as always. I have a soft spot for this bike as I tried one a couple of years ago. And as you say it feels really light and great value for money. I notice you always quote your height when your doing a review but really it is your inside leg length that really counts. I mention this because this years model has a 25mm higher seat for some reason and last year's model suited me better with a lower seat height. This really is a great bike but unfortunately only designed with a pilot in mind as the pillion seat like so many motorcycles today is rubbish and I need a proper pillion seat.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks for the comment Richard

[@JohnBhaktul]

Thank you for the comment. It would never occur to me that different model years would have different seat heights - 31.3 vs 31.5 inches. Being a shorter rider, I will definitely look at the 2019.

Got an R6 and a Z900, love the Z, but lose the cat it strangles the engine, and put different exhaust on you will free up the power.

Oh and get a tail tidy lose that nasty number plate holder, got Evotech on mine not cheap but great product, really makes the back end complete.

[@photographerjonathan]

I owned the very first Ninja ever made, the1984 Ninja 900, I can remember first looking at It thinking it was like a bat bike that Batman would ride, and everywhere I went on it for the first few months people were drooling over it. now all these years later I am thinking about getting another big bike, and I am considering this Z900. one thing I loved about my 1984 Ninja was the low seat, and that it felt so stable at any speed. I always felt confident on it. and I am assuming this new one must at least be as stable. I like the upright seating position, I am not a kid anymore. and I am not a knee dragger. but I still like to have a bike that can rip your head off for a second or two when it feels right. this Z900 looks really nice. one thing I don't like about all of these new bikes is how high the passenger has to sit. I wish they would make it on a similar hight as the drivers seat. so your girl can snuggle up against your back like in the old days. I also think the bike would handle allot better with a passenger on it with a lower center of gravity. like my old 1984 Ninja 900 seat, when you put weight on the back of a bike up high like that, it messes with the balance and handling.

This bike is oddly heavy. I was looking at the weights of naked bikes and this weighs more than the Honda CB1000R and Yamaha MT-10.

@Tony in Tasmania I think the zee pronouciation came from the states

I understand that these bikes have considerably different price points but would you pick a Z900 or a Street Triple R??? I love both but can't decide which one to get (eventually when I get on my open license)

Get the triumph !!!.... lighter of 20 kg , nearly same power, and better components , R version have brembos and all adjustable forks and rear shock

Hey Mark, I`m gonna watch this later, but I would have a question now. I`m 32, 110 kg whats your opinion in getting this as my 1st bike and running it in rain mode untill I get confident enough to use it at its normal capacity ? I`ve owned a fast car in the past, I know how to respect the power, and I`m not into that "get a small bike and work yourself up" thing, as I think it can get expensive and I don`t have any problems with spending more time with a z900 for example and learning everything there is to learn in rain mode and than open it up. The proccess of getting better at riding might be slower this way, but I`m not in a hurry, as I see riding as a lifelong thing once I`ll get my 1st bike in 2022. Btw, thanks for all the great videos !

Hi I'd normally always advise what you said you don't want to do ie small bike first but as your 32 and respect power etc this would be ok ...in rain mode ..it's not just the power to get used to it's the general bike handling skills weight etc that can catch new riders out ..and drop bikes but as long as you go very carefully for the first few weeks you should be fine . The z900 isn't a huge bike like a bmw r1250 GS physically all the best mark

@@markpulling12 I mean, I don`t plan leaving a parking lot the first few weeks/months tbh. I plan on taking it as slow as possible, thats part of the fun if you ask me :D. Thanks a lot for taking the time to give me your thoughts, happy new year !

Man that sucks for you Brits, we get a beautiful blue, with blue rims here in Canada. Although we don't get the performance edition here.
