    Hi Ray. Fun review, excellent info you provide. Top notch rider you are. This bike interests me alot. The triumph street triple r I like as well. Considering it for sure. Ride safe man!

    Love your enthusiasm Ray. I have a '22 black and twilight blue Z900 sitting 5 foot from me in the foyer. Ridden it about 15k miles and have to say, this is a great machine. Smooth as silk and torquey as can be. Had a Z900RS and sold it and kept this. Bought a new red gsxs1000gt and by the seat of the pants, the Z's engine is stronger all through the rev range. Took the gt on a 2500 mile trip a few months ago and the ecu definitely needs to be flashed. Had an mt09 and prefer the Z. The Nissin brakes up front are actually stronger than the Brembos on the gt. No QS and I like it. The gt's is turned off. Love Z900's!

    Z900 looks better, feels more like a sport bike, prettier, more power and torque. The Riding position on the z900 is a lot better than the mt-09. The mt-09 feels like I'm sitting on a dirt bike.

  • @RyuRydr777
    @RyuRydr777 4 месяца назад +7

    Been on both MT-09 & Z900 imho Kawasaki has always made engineering decisions based on user experience and expectations in harsh wind conditions that 463lb weight is very essential for the everyday rider I've done 400 mile round trips with Continental Conti-motion tires and they're way better than what Dunlops arrive from factory the Dunlops honestly don't handle the torque from either bike but with a proper baffle delete and muffler upgrade and ECU retune you can expect a good 152hp unlocked from 948cc if I was mostly a city rider 90% I'd stick to a MT09 but if you like the occasional long road trip Z900 all the way both won't disappoint

    I don't know why these manufacturers are failing so hard. If you're going to put an Ohlins shock on it, put Ohlins forks on it. Replacing a shock for an aftermarket unit is easy, replacing forks is hard. Both Kawasaki and Yamaha seem to be really half-assing their "special edition" bikes lately.

    • @RayBowdenRides
      @RayBowdenRides  4 месяца назад

    • @kugangles9860
      @kugangles9860 4 месяца назад +2

      These "middleweight" bikes are built to a certain price point. Adding Ohlins front would easily add another 2-3 grand on to the asking price. By then you're getting into super naked territory.

    Your right heel is on the exhaust pipe toward the end???? Will this melt your shoe ? Needs a tail tidy, and lousy passenger set up ! Wonder what the insurance is on this screamer ????

    This is one of the best looking naked bikes in my opinion, but for little difference in price you give up a lot over the mt09. The juice is no longer worth the sqeeze on this one kawasaki, time for an update.

    This bike hasn’t changed since I had my 21’ Z900. Kawasaki fell asleep with this bike. The MT-09 weighs less, has an up/down quickshifter, six axis IMU, and cruise control.

      Z900 SE faster and much better looking, better brakes and suspension. Who cares about a $300 quick shifter. Definitely not a deal breaker.

    The Z900 is a nice looking bike but it is not a MT09. Disappointed in the standard features of the Z900 compared to all the other bikes in the 900cc class every thing is very simple.

    You'd have to be on crack or in denial to pick the z900 over the Mt09, it's ancient in comparison and that's coming from a lifelong Kawasaki fan

      The ‘24 mt09 only makes 107hp to the wheel stock on a dyno and 117 tuned with a full exhaust.. lol my z900 made 116 to the wheel bone stock, now 132 with tune and exhaust. I prefer the more manly horsepower then all those fancy electronics which you wont use alot 😅 and that -15 weight of the MT, i really dont care.
