Tripples are inherently cross plane by nature.

@toofastnobrakes 9 ай бұрын

@@JoeStanek-vu7rl no, they are not. The term “cross plane” refers to an engine that has a 90 degree phase in rotation between crank rotations making the crank profile appear to look like a cross “+”. “Standard” triples have a 120 degree throw. Give them what is technically a “Y” plane crank. The new tiger triple is considered crossplane because it fire is a 90,90,180 degree interval. Making it a “T” shape. 3/4 of a crossplane. Just like a 90 degree twin is considered crossplane because it half of one. So no, triples are not “inherently” crossplane

I've always been a Yamaha guy. During covid, it was very difficult to find new Yamahas and Hondas in my area. I gave in and bought my first ever Kawasaki (z900). Actually, it is a very nice bike. It's a well rounded configuration with plenty of power and the low speed handling, from my personal experience, is probably one of the best of all the bikes I've owned. Does not feel top heavy at all. The seat does kind if pitch me forward a little, but for short commutes it is not an issue. Many z900 owners have bumped up 1 tooth on the drive sprocket and have stated that this makes it even better in the lower gears. I will be doing the drive sprocket change this summer. Overall, this has been an awesome bike and am happy with the purchase.

Well as I've ridden both bikes ... And i own a duke890r.. I'll say for my pov and experience z900 got more power definitely more cc more hp and extra cylinder on paper but in real life except comfort and riding position and flashy electronic features.... Mt09 is more fun to ride cuz it's quicker but the real difference is when we hit corners.... See z900 is powerful but the weight is what i xan feel while doing corners and mt09 is more nimble and light and easy to maneuver.. so on a straight mt 09 will go quick but then z900 wil definitely pull up after 100mph i guess

@@sahilbisht4459 “for reference I have owned and ridden both” I personally like the weighty feel of the z900. True the MT is a little easier to flick. But honestly it’s not a big difference despite how the weight looks. Like you said how they look on paper isn’t all it seems. the MT is a little faster off the line Atleast. But the Z does seem to pull for longer. The Z also feels a lot more planted most of the time in corners or at highway speed. And its over all is a smoother ride that can still hoon. I love the MT as well, it’s a wheelie machine, and it’s a very visceral ride. But I liked the z more as an all rounder

@@sahilbisht4459own a ‘22 Z900, have run against a brand new ‘24 XSR900. Low end acceleration was identical, we did 5 pulls all from different speeds, 2 at 40, 2 at 60 and 1 at 80 mph Past 100 mph the Z900 starts to pull away, past 120 it’s pulling away even more. The XSR900 rider and I both weigh the same. Low end torque the Z900 actually makes quite a bit more, and the torque curve is flatter. It’s the gearing and torque dip/spike in the lower RPM’s that gives the XSR900/MT09 that kind of twitchy feel, because it actually makes less torque. I can send overlayed dyno graphs if you’d like. I went with the Z900 after much deliberation, l liked the more aggressive, pitched forward riding position, its more tucked. The MT felt like a wide dirt bike, very upright feeling. Not my favorite on the interstate commute. Being pitched forward helps with wind. You also don’t feel the weight on the Z900 when cornering. The longer wheelbase makes it less twitchy and less flick-able, but it feels a lot more stable and poised when cornering hard.

Just SAD that ALL THE UNIQUE SELLING POINTS of the MT-09 got eliminated. In 2023, it was the last upright naked bike that people over 1.85 m (6.1feet) could still right comfortably on, that didn't look like an insect but like a Transformer and that still had a subframe/pillion footrests with luggage attachment points, as well as the option of fitting a windshield. I like every of the other Transformer light masks in the MT series better than this new one. For the GEN 3 to 2023, Givi and Shad had hard case mounts for larger cases, than on a standard GS in their linup and you could attach a large windscreen to the light mask. The subframe load capacity has been removed from the MT-10 from 2021 to 2022 and now from 2023 to 2024 for the MT-09 as well. It's a pity that none of the reviews mention this. If the display becomes so large that it protrudes forward over the light mask, you can no longer retrofit a windscreen. Who convinced the manufacturers that naked bikes have to be made for the racetrack? I've been riding an MT-09 for 30,000 kilometres in 2.5 years and love this engine. With in the commuteabilty gone, the last real UJM is unfortunately dying in my eyes.

Power to weight ratios become less noticeable when the rider’s weight is added to the equation. If you weight 200 lbs and you’re adding that weight to a bigger, stronger bike, it’s less of a loss of the ratio.

@markewing10 3 ай бұрын

I’ve ridden heavier bikes (up to 1300CC) with more power, and the light weight of the MT09 has the best perceived acceleration of anything I’ve ever ridden even though it has less power. Never measured actual speed or acceleration though.

At 1:45 they are saying the higher compression ratio is part of the higher fuel consumption. Higher compression ratio actually makes engines consume less fuel.

You are correct. Though it should be noted that a higher compression ratio can result in higher octane fuel being necessary.

Ride both, but 19kg is something you can really feel when you ride both. MT-09 is much more flickable and fun to ride and to me the chassis and damper setup is better than the Z900. Although, the Z900 sound better but that's it, tech wise it's quite basic as well and to me it is outdated compared to its rivals. So it's an upgrade for me.

z900 is a really nice bike but i’ll take the 2024 MT-09 every day. That triple cylinder engine with quickshifter have one of the best exhaust sounds you can find in a motorcycle. Sounds much better than a z900 if you ask me. i have also always dreamed about having a bike with cruise control. All those other features are nice as well. and that speed limiter can easily be removed to make it as fast as the z900. Also i really like how the new MT-09 looks. I have even started to like that weird headlight believe it or not. The headlight on the previous model (2021-2023) looked like actual shit but the new headlight looks much better. The MT-09 is just a little tiny bit more expensive than the z900 so it’s definitely worth it to save up some more money and get the MT-09.

The Z900 feels a lot better when attacking corners fast. It may be heavier but the longer swingarm and more aggressive, tucked ergonomics make it a bit more confidence inspiring when charging up a mountain road, you don’t feel the weight. The stiffer chassis has helped the MT09 a bunch with the ‘21+ models but it still feels twitchy in comparison.
