DISCLAIMER: countless hours of coding efforts went into manipulating the bike's ECU in order for it to show random numbers instead of my actual velocity to make my riding look faster. In reality I never exceeded 98,9kph. Unfortunately sometimes my ECU hack didn't work and the speedo showed my actual speed which was too slow to brag so I decided to blur the speedo instead.

[@Schaaf]

Here are the resulting pictures from the mentioned Z900 photoshoot: 500px.com/fotoflut/galleries/stunning-2017-kawasaki-z900 If you're interested in my opinion about the Z900's rideability you'll have to watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5CpnniDacZmlbs

[@REDLINERUNNER]

Schaaf About click bait, how do you know Croatian language???

[@Schaaf]

how the hell is a thumbnail straight from the video, announcing EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS in the video WITHOUT ANY EXAGGERATION click bait?

[@REDLINERUNNER]

Schaaf I call thumbnails click bait because sometimes I can't remember the word thumbnail... And about thumbnail... NEMA PROBLEMA in Croatian means NO PROBLEM...

[@oliverkaten6389]

Nice video as always, and especially nice pictures! Richtig Schaaf! :P

[@Schaaf]

thanks Oliver

[@ScaryMetalGuy]

Some riders have small chicken stripes at the edge of a tire. This guy has a massive one, right in the middle.

[@Schaaf]

tahahahaha

[@march11stoneytony]

Lol chicken strip

[@yajnaamakusa8786]

It's a pleasure to finally see a review of this bike in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.

[@Schaaf]

thanks a loz

[@alvinmintura1613]

Im holding my breath while watching this, im amazed by the way you ride this z900, this bike doesnt have any traction control 👏

[@Schaaf]

it doesn't need one :)

[@sugarnads]

Doesnt need it. Its as docile as a 250 if you are gentle. Anyone hamfisted with the throttle will be in trouble on any bike even with traction control - it isnt a magic wand that makes a shit rider into Mick Doohan.

[@jezzamarkham5285]

A short but fast and furious ride and i loved it. You seem to have an affinity with a lot of bikes and you ride them very well with little or no more than the briefest of advance practice. This is one of those rides where you really just went for it!! Great video. As Always Ride (and speed) Safe.

[@Schaaf]

thanks Jezza! Quickly adapting to any bike out there indeed is my biggest skill. All thanks to staying and learning for years on the wobbly ass Honda CB500 :)

[@myriad860]

Cool video as always. I did think that you were able to push harder on the GSXS750! I have gone for purchase of this bike because of your video and inspiration. Thank you!

[@Schaaf]

that's also what I said. The GSXS is more suited for PROPER HARD riding

[@myriad860]

Yes, you did and I went with the GSXS750 as my new bike! I love it! Video's such as yours are my decision makers, as in NY we are rarely able to test ride the bike. I did like the look of the Z900 more, but now the GSXS all black version has grown on me. It rides and handles beyond my capacity at the moment. But I love it carving the city traffic.

[@SimonvRdn]

Echt beeindruckend! Dass du dich so schnell an Motorräder anpasst, hängt echt enorm mit deinen Fähigkeiten zusammen. Ein Motorrad gut fahren zu können ist Gewöhnungssache, aber jedes so zu rocken, zeugt von einem guten Fahrer! Vermisse nur die lustigen Tiergesichter beim verdecken des Tachos :P

[@sninads]

Following the Z900 raw from beginning. This one is insane. Pure adrenaline. Love. The Dunlops seem really good. On the wet surface as well as I saw in your previous Raw ones.

[@Schaaf]

thanks man!! I recently got a comment in which someone complained about these Dunlops. I said I was happy with them. But I might have to take that back. This weekend I was on a Ninja650 with the same Sportmax Dunlops. And they seem to have a problem with getting hot very quickly and then starting to smear. No wonder they worked well on the Z900 for me. It was less than 10°C outside.

[@sninads]

Schaaf Hope we get to see some similar fun on the Ninja650 if it's not already there. The intense treatment.

[@Schaaf]

I only took pictures with it

[@KTMLaranjinha]

Well done my friend, since curve #1 that I was a little tense...as I always say....you're a great driver. Cheers from KTM Laranjinha from Portugal ;)

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@MrKiddoMoto]

Awesome! 👍🏻 However, this video makes me feel sad for all the poor Z900s which are ridden daily in big cities. They also deserve the Schaaf-Treatment. Life is unfair 😢😉

[@Schaaf]

tehehehe ;) Merci!

[@mopedblade]

blur the speedo more often please. it's embarrassing to be so slow

[@Schaaf]

I know man :(

[@danielsanwald899]

Wie sind hier deine GoPro einstellungen? Also fps, auflösung usw, würde mich echt interessieren.

[@keybladermater15k810]

This video convinced me to buy this bike, I have the same style of riding and it seems you feel confortable with the bike. I've a 650 suzuki but the power on 4th isn't enough to confortable riding my private track so I was craving more power since a long time.

[@Schaaf]

cool, good choice!

Hi Schaaf, could you say me how tall you are? i am 1,98m (6'5) and i want to buy the z900. Do you think it is enough comfortable and what is your experience? Greetings from germany!

[@Schaaf]

I'm 184cm tall and you'd definitely need the higher seating option (which is available). I tried the standard height and after 300km I had slight issues with my knees. The higher position would've worked perfectly I'm convinced!

Hello what is your tire pressure on z900 ? Thanks in advance.

[@Schaaf]

No idea, I only had this bike for a day

[@vikac7818]

@@Schaaf How about usually with other bikes ?

[@demigod217]

Does this have comparable torque and accel to a zx6r? does it have enough power to do wheelies at 60 mph?

[@Schaaf]

it has a lot more torque in low and middle revs but less in high revs. I don't know how to do wheelies.

[@demigod217]

Thank you. im going to have to test ride one, if it isnt fast enough i wont enjoy it. my 2013 ZX636r was perfect. had alot of power and mid to high grunt great at wheelies and awesome in twisties, im just looking to try something else out. im an all around rider. i do dig racing roll racing love twisties and wheelies i want another bike that can do it all.

[@iodineclip]

looks like this bike got alot of punch :) oh yeah, can you actually reset the dash to make the blinking at the rev counter go away ? kinda annoying to see it blinking above certain rpm right ?

[@Schaaf]

yea you can. It was still set to 'break in' period or whatever you want to call that. But the engine got a proper run-in from the Kawasaki guys before they gave it to me. Wise move ;)

[@iodineclip]

as they should if they know how you ride :D "hardcore" is an understatement :D I personally describe your riding style as "fighter jet" LOL

[@lucacaleffi9396]

You prefer to scrap the peg in left turn than righ turn, isn't it?

I generally feel better in left hand turns

[@bionicvenom]

Completely unrelated but as far as comfort how would you rate it?

[@Schaaf]

yes absolutely

[@Yash-ms2tr]

[@ASH-ox3ss]

Heyy Schaaf awesome vdo man !! ;) please tell me hows the slipper clutch feel while agressive downshifting. Also please let me know the avg fuel consumption the bike will give if rode decently at 100 kmph...lol & what are those scraping sound while cornering. eg. 2:24. keep vlogging good luck.

[@Schaaf]

the slipper clutch feels like a well working slipper clutch. I haven't checked the fuel consumption. The scraping sound comes from my guardian angel grinding his teeth.

[@ASH-ox3ss]

No I mean is it very smooth or you feel some vibes or sound...!! I rode Z900 waiting to ride MT 09....Already know that MT 09 is insane bike and not good for city rides ....Even then i will be waiting for your MT 09 RAW footage lol ;)

[@Schaaf]

I only could record a couple of laps on a small handling track with the MT09. But I'll make a small video from that soon too.

Hi! I've read quite a lot of bad comments about the tires. How did you feel them ?

they work well in the cold but they overheat quickly when it's nice and warm outside. Not good indeed. Had more experience with them in the meantime.

[@Schaaf]

Ok

[@diego6789]

Hey, just wondering. Why is it that you blur out the speedometer? Even if you are going above the limit, it is still obvious that you are going over the speed limit.

[@Schaaf]

I have my reasons. Won't share them though.

[@oliverkaten6389]

If you haven't seen Smo's video on how he blurs/removes the information on his dashboard display; he has a filter on his camera that seems to simply block the dashboard image, I don't know whether you would like to use a filter like that and of course it wouldn't work on analogue speedometers but maybe you can safe yourself some editing hassle that way, where that method is applicable

[@Schaaf]

yes I heard from this too. I'll experiment with it at one point for sure

[@AWP1140]

Super Strecke, die fahr ich auch des öfteren ;)

[@Schaaf]

ja!

[@MrGjubar]

Any plans on "SCHAAF-TREATING" the MT-09... I would really like to see how my dream bike fares against the Z900 since it's a direct competitor price wise ;) I already watched the 1000PS Review, but im more interested in seeing it "in action" in the hands of a (in my opinion) skilled rider. Keep up the good work!

[@Schaaf]

unfortunately I don't have access to one. I'll upload a couple of laps from the handling track soon though. But basically it's rather simple: the MT09 is a complete hooligan. Wonderful engine. Sharp brakes. But it's the opposite of refined. Snappy throttle response. And rather soft suspension, which was the biggest shock to me. If I could only own one bike I'd rather have the Z900. But since I'm used to spongy suspensions I had massive fun on the MT. More than on the Z. But the Z is, overall, the better motorcycle.

[@MrGjubar]

Well it's a shame there won't be a MT09 video on the roads of Austria and or Italy. But I'm looking forward to any MT09 related content from you, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed to see someone lent you one so you can really try to ride it on your own terms. Ever since I saw the 2017 model I fell in love and after riding on it (as a pillion since I don't have a full license) at the MT Tour in Croatia I knew that it will most likely be my next bike. I currently own the MT03 2016 model and every CB500 video gives me hope and just shows how the lower cc bikes can keep up with the "big boys" ...but the 3 cylinder engine that Yamaha made just won me over. The Triumph Street Triple RS will probably be too expensive and I never realy was a fan of 4 cylinders so Yamaha seems to fit the bill perfectly ,altough the Z900 is the best bang for your buck bike in my opinion and is a more "COMPLETE"(refined) motorcycle

[@Supernova12034]

Interesting, you would take z900 over gsxs 750?

[@Audace1400]

Nice riding skills. I've read some reviews that say this bike is boring given the engines smooth power delivery. I'm considering this bike or a tuono. Japanese reliability Vs Italian passion.

[@Schaaf]

thanks! I wouldn't call the Z900 boring. Not at all. But the Tuono is probably THE most exciting bike out there you can buy right now so the comparison is a bit tricky ;)

hat bei mir auch lange gedauert. Mir hat's aber entscheiden geholfen, bewusst zu versuchen, "sanfter" einzukuppeln. Auch wenn's im vollen Betrieb dann gar nicht mehr sanft aussieht. Also statt 4 Finger und voll den Hebel durchziehen, lieber nur sanft den Hebel ein wenig anziehen. Macht es leichter, das Timing mit dem Gasstoß gemeinsam zu erwischen.

yea, front wheel slips are not a nice thing to have. But it was kind of amazing at the same time as well. Like mentioned the Z900 gives very transparent feedback. I'm almost tempted to say I could have minor front wheel slips with it on purpose. But - more importantly - it shows me that I'm leaving enough room for error indeed. Could keep it inside my lane without any problems!

@@Schaaf Hi, hijack this comment from 3y. I am currently own this bike (Z900 2017) and I hate that you're absolutely correct about the feedback of the bike.

Echt beeindruckend! Dass du dich so schnell an Motorräder anpasst, hängt echt enorm mit deinen Fähigkeiten zusammen. Ein Motorrad gut fahren zu können ist Gewöhnungssache, aber jedes so zu rocken, zeugt von einem guten Fahrer! Vermisse nur die lustigen Tiergesichter beim Verdecken des Tachos :P

[@Schaaf]

Danke dir! Ich glaube nach wie vor nicht, ein besonders guter Fahrer sein zu können. Weil mir dazu einfach die notwendige Erfahrung fehlt (ich hab jetzt ca. 60.000km gesammelt). Aber es stimmt definitiv, dass es zu meinen größten Stärken zählt, mich sehr schnell auf jede Art von Motorrad einstellen zu können. Das hab' ich aber fast nur meiner Geduld zu verdanken, die mich Ewigkeiten auf der alten, wackeligen CB500 hat bleiben lassen. Die ist zwar deppeneinfach zu bewegen, aber es braucht enorm viel Feingefühl, wenn man sie rasant (aber so richtig flott) bewegen möchte. Weil ihr "Grenzbereich" verhältnismäßig schmal ist. Und diesen "Gefühlsbonus" nehm ich nun auf jede moderne Maschine mit. Die sind so gut wie immer technisch haushoch überlegen. Und lassen einen meist auch viel mehr spüren. Da kann ich mich dann dank meines geschärften Gespürs sehr, sehr schnell in einen Bereich begeben, der zwar definitiv flott ist, aber verhältnismäßig immer noch große Reserven bietet. Man könnte sagen, dass mir die alte CB enorme Sicherheit und Selbstvertrauen verliehen hat. Die lässt mich dann auch immer entspannt bleiben. Was dann hilft, wenn so wie bei 4:13 zB ein Vorderradrutscher passiert. PS.: wenn ich sage, dass ich kein besonders guter Fahrer bin, dann liegt das auch daran, dass ich mich mit WIRKLICH guten und erfahrenen Piloten vergleiche, die ich im Laufe der Jahre auf der Straße kennengelernt hab. Verglichen zu den meisten Motovloggern auf KZbin bin ich definitiv gut unterwegs.
