Could not ask for a better road to ride and test out the Z900 a bit! Loved watching the speedometer get up in the higher mph zones. I can see how one could get in trouble with the law rather quickly on your bike. Not every officer is out to write a ticket thank goodness. Being able to ride those roads during the low traffic times is quite enjoyable. Keep ripping it and stay safe ABUSA!
After almost 2 years of research and changing my mind about a thousand times I've finally came to the conclusion that the Z900 is my next bike. I have heard almost no real complaints about it and nothing but good things from actual owners. The price to bike ratio can't be beat and they just look damn cool. There's also a healthy aftermarket for them to turn them into whatever you want. Cool vid and I cant wait to join the Z900 family nest year.
Holy @$#! Z900!!! I'm drooling. We've been in Florida too long, and now we are craving for roads like this. Currently heading back to Cali with a stop in The BIG Easy. Can't wait to get back home to more roads like this. Amazing ride. Nice of him to pull over.
Bro drive to ocala Florida the roads are 1000 x better best roads in Florida look up 42 from the villages to deland Florida that road is 2 hours of twisties and back country
It's the best 900 out there...such a great bike and if you want to you can take it up a few notches with some mods and then you have a little beast......❤
I have the exact same 2024, love mine as well. I peeled off the green stickers from the fairings and wheels though, I like it better solid black. Looks like you need to change your shift light, it is still at 4k and constantly flashing at you. Fun stuff, enjoyed watching you ride when I couldn’t be outside riding myself.
Loving my 900, people told me i was stupid for getting it as my first bike, but learning to respect the machine while having fun has been an absolute blast!
Nice Area! Where was that? Reminds me of PA/WVA/VA in the Allegany mountains? I like all the Skid Marks on the "U" turn section! The Z900 looks awesome. Bugged me they detuned the RS version, but I guess everything has a price.
Sir what do you call that gadget you have mounted on your bike? The one you use for navigation? How much is that? Is it any good and better to use than a smartphone? Good battery? Whatelse can it do aside from navigation? Thanks in advance for answering sir.
Tom tom 550 motorcycle nav. $400. it's hardwired to bike so it's always full powered. i don't want my phone on my bars, i don't wanna see texts, calls or emails. phone stays off and in my bag. it's time for riding and no phone zone for me.
@@davidzitagino7886 exactly. i don't wanna see one single work call or email when it's bike time lol. Phone off and in my bag lol. purely engaged in the riding moment 😎
Just picked up my 2024 Z900 today. Traded in my 2023 ZX6R for it. The Z900 is so much more fun to ride. Plenty of torque on tap in any gear, and it is so flickable yet stable at triple digit speeds. Couldn't be happier with the change. Oh, and the quiet stock exhaust doesn't bother me. My ZX6R had an aftermarket slip-on which was so loud, cops could hear me coming from more than a 1/4 mile away, which doesn't bode well for stealthiness. 😂
@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSAawesome actually! I wanted to hear something like that, since I’m a bit worried about camshafts on my Duke. Time for second bike then 👍 thanks
Very nice video. Where do you live, N.E. Pennsylvania, or Western New York state? Those are absolutely beautiful roads to ride a motorcycle. Just a perfect road.
Oh, Georgia. I have a 2023 Z900. If you are considering buying a Z900, in order to optimize your experience, be sure to use sport mode and, equally important, have your dealer customize the suspension. Until I did both those things the bike was fighting me. Now we are one.
I don't know if this is "too powerful", in todays standards in the naked class of sport bikes. This bike is over 465 lbs. ,123 HP with 72 ft-lbs of torque. It must be a nice ride, but it's not over the top by any means.
I understand your perspective, but the full power can never really be properly utilized for street riding. it’s soooooo fun for sure, but even the other bikes you elude too are just getting crazy with the numbers lol. I’m all for it , just sayin MOST riders can’t maximize the power properly due to skill. thanks for watching!
I just bought a gsxs1000 gt and I have a '22 Z900. Both are 4 bangers, but the Z is so much smoother and to tell you the truth, seems more powerful. The gt rated at 152 hp, Z at 125. Like the Z engine much more. Excellent machine. BTW, the gt has a quickshifter, which I don't even use. Like shifting manually- part of my enjoyment of riding a bike.
in india we generally use kmph so i was like , this bikes engine is crazy refined to be running at 50 60 kmph at 6th gear then i realised its in mph 💀 nevertheless bike sounds like a beast
@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA yeah have been constantly shadow banned and comments kept been removed so I removed them as well🤣🤣🤣🤣 Plus I’m working on something hopefully big…maybe!
I got my brand new Z900 2024 a few months ago. I traded in my Suzuki GSXS1000 for this Z900. I have two other bikes, a Honda CB500F 2019 and a Kawasaki Z650 2021 that I ride for commuting to work. The Suzuki is too much power for me so I went from 160 or more HP to the Z900 2024 @ 125 HP. I feel the Z900 is much more smooth, brakes and suspension are/is much better than the GSXS1000. I'm a small guy, 5'5", 140 lbs. I still think the Z900 is too much power for me, the Z650 is more than enough for my commuting but for long distances I ride the Z900 and works really good. In the streets the Z900 is too wide and heavy and it is very hard for me to maneuver it, specially between the cars or parking lots. The Z650 & CB500F are very nimble, narrower, easy to maneuver in very tight spaces, but still lots of power to take off. I have modified the rear sprockets on all three bikes to have longer gearing. The Z900 & Z650 have been decat & ECU flashed for better performance. The Z900 has been lowered to get me feet flat on the floor. Also I installed a 41T rear sprocket and a 16T front sprocket, I may try the 17T sprocket, I don't feel much difference going from the 15T stock to 16T.
Please slow down and do not push your self. It’s better to get where you are going to a few minutes later than having to spend weeks stuck in a hospital bed, thats if you survive.
These kind of roads are extremely dangerous to ride. These roads are death traps. Many riders have died because they hit a wild animal, they got some gravel and went into a big ditch, a car coming the opposite way hit them or worse two cars trying to pass each other get you into a head to head collision and the rider gets killed.
@@Matthew_Hawkinson But there is a higher risk of crashing when riding recklessly. In those roads people hit over 100mph. I do under 30mph on the streets. I have never had a close call. If I do, I still can stop on time while at 100mph there is not a chance to stop to avoid anything.
@@tonymartinez7205 I was doing the speed limit on a 35mph road when someone turned out in front of me giving me no time to stop and totalling my bike last year. Yeah injury is less likely at low speeds but let's not pretend accidents are less likely. Cagers don't pay attention to us on two wheels. Like I said we all know the risks and it's not gonna stop us from riding the way we want. You're quantifiably wrong if you think more accidents occur where he was riding.
@@Matthew_Hawkinson Why didn't you see the car coming at you before it hit you? You must be 2 o 3 steps ahead of a cager. Cagers see you coming and they still throw the car on you on purpose. Always watch where you are going. Don't allow a cager near you, stay behind if you cannot pass, always cross an intersection just if it's safe. Don't assume green lights are for you to cross, cagers cross on red lights, they change lanes without looking or on purpose to kill you. It does not matter.
@@tonymartinez7205 the road I was on was curving to the left with a bunch of trees in my line of sight of the cager approaching the intersection I did see her but only with enough time to slow down to maybe 10mph when she just stopped in the middle of the road in a panic after she saw me. No green lights I had an uncontrolled intersection she had a stop sign. In retrospect I could have stopped a little faster had I been covering the brakes but ultimately the insurance company agreed I wasn't at fault at all in the accident. Sometimes accidents just happen
Who is this dummy? Has this sfb ever rode one? Who cares about all the tech you don't need. Just got off my '22 Z9 and every time I ride it I have a grin from ear to ear. Any stock bike that runs 10's in the 1/4 mile ain't slow. I had an MT09 and the Z is definitely my favorite. Has grunt everywhere. From a stop sign it can take off in 5th without complaint. Go ride your moped.
Knowing your abilities keeps you safe Sound advice for new riders

i don’t see why not….. i don’t think it was year specific on the drop down menu when i bought it.
What’s your gas mileage averaging with the way you’re driving. Also I hit a small deer at around at 55mph so please be careful.
no idea. i don't pay attention to gas mileage. hope you're ok !
Very nice bike.1month drive this baby.
Can you turn off abs? Or is it off in sport mode?

I thought trail braking was tapering off the brake pressure after the turn in point?
