Kawasaki Z900RS road review in the twisties

[@brianhoward9217]

All power to you for riding YOUR bike the way YOU choose to do. What makes YOU happy is the only thing that counts. I gave up many years ago worrying about what the turkeys think of me. I'm about to trade my 150hp Multistrada on a new 100hp Africa twin DCT. Mates are calling me the pensioner extraordinaire - I care not for their opinion as at my age (63) I know what makes me happy and that's ALL that matters. P.S: I thought it was the old Pacific Hwy you were on until you told us. Beautiful bike that 900 Kwaka! Enjoy it to the max and thanks for the vid.

Thanks Brian. I have the Africa Twin motor in my Rebel 1100 and it is so good it is addictive to ride. It is detuned a bit and only puts out 80 odd horsepower with the torque lower down in the rev range ... but still fantastic. :>)

This is exactly how I ride my Z900RS. The bike is as smooth as silk and handles corners perfectly at legal speeds. Nice video. Cheers.

Thank you :>)

You're talking to me Brother. I'm blessed with an abundance of tasty twisties and these bikes are surprisingly good with stock suspension. I regulate myself to Freeway speeds, (95), it becomes work hanging on at higher speeds.

[@motorcyclingdownunder]

Sounds like you really enjoy riding yours ... just as I do mine :>)

Before you commit to the XSR 900 I recommend you try the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS, and you ride how you wanna ride, your bike your choice and all the more power to you! Have fun and be safe.

[@motorcyclingdownunder]

Thanks Tommie .. will definitely look into that. Am also thinking about investing in a Speed 400 to help someone on the next leg of their learning to ride journey.

You’re riding like a bloke who just took up riding motorcycles during a midlife crisis. That bike doesn’t deserve to be ridden like that. It’s not a Harley! Beautiful road, regardless.

[@markstevens7442]

With that attitude you probably won't live long enough to have a mid life crisis. If you're so good why are you not racing motogp rather than gobbing off on here?

Rubbish. He's just enjoying a bit of cruise.
