Sweet bike! Great video. I grew up where you did in Western PA. That would suck to travel all the way to the Tail of the Dragon then get stuck behind a car like that. If you get down this way again, try the Back of the Dragon in Tazewell VA. It's 32 miles long, 438 curves and goes over three mountains. You'll love it!
Take it on the track you will enjoy it much more. Will help with your confidence going into corners and help with your eye control and knowing where to look. Liked watching the video, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful vid and bike! Seems too crowded for me to bother planning a trip out there. I've got plenty of decent country roads close by. Doesn't really matter where I ride, the z900rs Café turns the scenery into a blur anyway!
I love your bike. I just saw it for the first time at the NYC Motorcycle show in the Javits Center. I can't imagine doing that ride on my Harley. I'd be driven off the road! I've done the Kancamagus up in NH but the Tail of the Dragon looks crazier.
If you get the chance I highly recommend riding the Dragon! It's a great learning experience. Take it slow a couple times, stay in you lane, wave faster riders past and watch their form.
So you have a Z900rs, I have a z900rs. You have a 96ws6 i have a 94 trans am. You did the tail of the dragon...I did the tail of the dragon! Lol great stuff man keep the videos coming.
Nice video. I just picked up a lightly used '18 RS with 1,000 miles on it this past Saturday. Loving the bike so far, just wish I had more time to ride it! I saw on one of your previous videos that you're in PA, I am as well. Altoona/State College area here.
Hey man, my wife and I were there for the WSB, the one where we stayed at Iron Horse... Been to several of them... I was there for this one in your video too... I was on a 2018 Tuono V4 1100rr...
@@ws6man96 Thank you 🙇.It really nice sound. So you mean you keep the original silencer but just changed the header.(the 4 pipes) The catalyst the square box has been kept? The header comes with the hole for the OS senser? What you did affect the torque and power? If so, it gets better or lost some? Sorry asking too many questions. As it is is great, but I might do something you did.
@@whoau961 to me it was totally worth it. The sound is better, less weight (no cat) and retains the factory o2 sensor location as well as the oem silencer. I noticed a slight improved in torque.
@@ws6man96 Thank you so much for the tip. I like the original exhaust tail end pipe, so it is a great idea to keep the same original end pipe the O2 sensor but omit the square ugly box. Bypassing the catalyst must make much better looking.I may the header go into the exhaust tail end pipe directly even comes with a slight improvement of torque! If you let me confirm this, when you have a moment, let me know. Then I can do it by myself. **I believe we can do it without any modification of the angle of pipes or setting new volt holes or any welding.** Thank you! Have a good weekend!
I have only sat on the cafe. The ergonomics are really the only major difference. I only scraped a peg once. I knew then that I needed to corner the bike with my body better after that.
@@Anything_With_An_Engine thanks! It really woke the bike up. It sounded good stock but the headers just completed it for me. Check out my track video to hear it opened up more!
Not sure what you were watching, most of the turns he set up close to the kerb for left handers and out to the middle for right handers to straighten the corner. Riding within his limits meant he did not have to go to the limits of his lane so not being too close to the lane markings in the middle of the road which is the danger zone on the highway with traffic coming the other way. Enjoyable seeing the run ridden in a controlled manner
@@guyr7351 most left handlers he is riding almost on or on the centre line and on occasion with oncoming traffic - a narrow miss with a pick up with trailer. He also rides close to the kerb on right handlers giving him no view of the road ahead.
And there in lies one of the issues about riding in groups on bikes on roads like this, some see it as a competition and get sucked into pushing themselves often out of their comfort / ability zone. As you said it’s not a race and once stuck behind the car no / few legal opportunities to pass, so you both kept going at a decent pace within your limits
One of my favorite bikes, on some of the coolest twisties.......... Thanks for taking me along ;)
Too bad you were dogged by traffic ..x
@@painsrides3616 Yeah, it's hard to get a clean run.
I like your vids man, you're not Cocky, ...you don't swear...i bet you're really a nice guy in person.

love Kawasaki z900 rs what a sound 👍👍👍
My next goal is the tenere700 but the z900RS is definitely on my wish list!!!!
Enjoy the bike life
Good drive
Most enjoyable to watch, great stuff
Thanks for watching!
The riding here looks a lot like the Santa Cruz mountains...good stuff!

Yep! Near Greensburg. What color?
ws6man96 Rootbeer of course 👍🏻. I’m in love with the bike.
@@mmaaddict78 Congrats and enjoy!! If you have any questions feel free to ask! I have 5k on mine now.
@@mmaaddict78 I have the Rootbeer one as well. Its an awesome bike.
b roc Hope you’re enjoying yours as much as I am mine!
enjoyed watching your friend ride

Good job. I’ve got one. I really like it.
Yep, just winding out of the corners with some sweet torque on a nice day. Needs a few designated turnouts for slow-pokes, though.
Nice ride bro I'm thinking about getting the z900 Cafe
The exhausting sound is really lovely. Is this the normal system or you changed?
I installed the delkevic header.
@@ws6man96
Thank you 🙇.It really nice sound.

Sorry I misunderstood. The silencer also comes with the header. I will do more research. Thanks for your advice.
Love the sound of that dang bike! Stock exhaust still?
No it has a Delkevic header on in this video.
Just ordered the Delkevic myself, can’t wait. Sounds sweet.
Stock sounds great as well
Did you get a chance to try the Z900RS Cafe? Also, did you have any problems dragging pegs on the dragon?
I have only sat on the cafe. The ergonomics are really the only major difference. I only scraped a peg once. I knew then that I needed to corner the bike with my body better after that.
Looks like the guy on the Kaway is not even trying.
Z900rs or z1000r im torn between the two.
Z900? It's a solid option in between the two.
single 07 get both
Stock exhaust??
No, I bought the Delkevic header which mounts to the original muffler.
@@ws6man96 ok cool, it sounds good 👍
@@Anything_With_An_Engine thanks! It really woke the bike up. It sounded good stock but the headers just completed it for me. Check out my track video to hear it opened up more!
Hey look the roads aren't full of gravel, slow people, and pot holes ......oh nevermind.
Minus that one pot hole the roads are amazing compared to ours. Most cars will pull over. That S2000 thought it could be faster than us🙄
Not very good lines - wrong side of lane for each turn. You are likely to hit another vehicle head on if they were taking the same lines.
When I see your videos I'll consider your advice.
ws6man96 lets hope you live long enough to see them

Get off the mustard !
Wow dude you got smoked by a TNT135?
Haha! It may look that way but it wasnt a race.

Prefer to watch grass grow. Boring car lemming.
