Really good review. Looks like a decent bike. I had a 2017 Z900 when they came out. Had it for a year, did 7000 miles, and it was great. This looks even better, and with traction control, riding modes, LED lights and the TFT dash, it makes it more appealing. Interesting and positive to hear that the suspension feels better, as I didn’t think they had updated that. Would have been near perfect if they had uprated the brakes (not that they were bad on the previous model) and put better tyres on it. But it’s so much bike for the money. I will definitely test ride it; I’m actually tempted to get another one based on all these improvements!
@visordown4 жыл бұрын
It’s well worth a look, and the suspension is the same, just tuned differently. The new dash is fantastic as well. It’s only about £400 more than the old model too!
@patthonsirilim57394 жыл бұрын
get some higher spec pads and steel braided brake lines like ebc dual sinter or sbs dual sinter paired with dot 5.1 fluid high performance fluid from brembo or motul that should dramatically improve the braking steel line fluid and pads are inexpensive way of upgrading brake feel and performance 2 of which are consumable parts anyway and will be due for replacement eventually put tires like rosso 3 or if you want something even more sporty rosso corsa 2 once the dunlop is finish you will have a bike that handle and brake alot better then stock without much money being spent.
