    Well hello folks well this video is only so I can get a bit of practice in as with my hand being injured and not having a bike this is the next best thing, so today I paid a visit to our local motorcycle dealership @Milleniumbikes to have a go on their Kawasaki z900rs which I absolutely loved and as a 2nd bike it would be right up there at the top of the list.

    Hi Fella. I bought one of these in March 2019. Colour orange/brown. Spent a fortune on it. Dekelvic 4 into four pipes, round old style indicators, colour matched rear hugger and a few bit more like white tank badges, old style side badges, rad grill, tail tidy.
    Simply loved the bike BUT after an hour or so of riding it god how my butt ached!! Don't get me wrong these are fabulous bikes but I cannot recommend them for long journeys let alone tours so sadly sold it to superbike factory with just 3344 miles on the clock. Keep safe, Old Bloke

    Great looking bike, I am a bit of a Kawasaki fan girl as my first bike KH125 and second bike ZXR400 and current bike z400, when I walk in to a Kawasaki dealer I get a warm feeling, more then other brands. 😊
    Hope you get the bike sorted for you holiday

    In that particular colour scheme that has to be the best looking of the Japanese Retros, it's a stunner (TMF loves his too in that colour) - I always really liked the original too to be fair.

Not my fastest, stopping or best handling bike but my best commuter and does everything with ease, Good review Mate.

    I have a soft spot for any Z Kawasaki. Why back in the day I went from a KZ400 then next year bought a Z1R, pale blue, beautiful. I lived to through it, would love to have it back. The new ones capture the old school look very nicely, guessing modern performance! Very nice, lucky you.

    As a teenager with a RD250 watching Mad Max I wanted a Z900, never affordable. FF to 2009 wanting a naked bike, bought a Triumph Street Triple, a riot of legal / illegal fun until 5 years of bad health. Now Z900RS available it's too late, I've gone older with Tiger 955i.

    Hi Shaun, that is a cool bike, do like the look of this Z900RS and the yellow on racing green paint work reminds me of the the late 60's early 70's Lotus racing colours on there F1 cars and sports cars of the time. Kawasaki do make a decent road bike, a possible future buy.
    Hope you get a bike soon, catch you both again Take care

    The rad & lack of proper twin rear shocks ,spoils it for me . I like the old school paint job on the tank though . I never judge a bike by its specs either ,at the end of the day ,it’s what a bike is like & how it feels to you that counts . Good to see you out & about on a bike . 👍

  • @Legotruck82

    Aftermarket headers, "breadbox" delete, stock muffler. These sound mega. They are "detuned" from the normal 900, but have more torque down low, way more useful on the road

    I've just rode one on demo night. Good solid bike. Did sound lovely with the aka exhaust. Felt very planted and gave me a lot of confidence... But... I got back on my Ducati Scrambler 1100 to ride home and wouldn't swap it. Mine has much more character. Sounds better with the termis on and has much more instant power. Great bike that kawasaki though 😊

    Love that Bike, especially its grunt when you twist ya right wrist..., you know, the one that makes the countryside pass by faster!
    Even with the standard can she sounds a million quid, almost making the Akra' superficial..., having said that, I don't know how it affects the performance.
    Of course, we like the fact it's carrying round analog clocks plus the colour choices that reflect this great bike's history.
    Yep, exactly the sort of bike that makes you wanna spend the rest of your life "behind bars". I reckon this would do me well if I was on the market again.

      I agree with you.
      In the past I'd always justify not buying the bike I wanted with an excuse.
      Truth was I just needed to re-prioritize things. I stopped smoking tobacco cold turkey, dialed back alcohol to next to nothing, same with going out to eat or a coffee shop, cancelled a few subscriptions, and bingo, room for a bike payment. Now I've got six bikes in the garage with them all paid for except the newest, a T7.
      I will admit that in today's financial climate it is getting harder find extra cash.

Like you I live in a very damp climate for months on end and it would be a crime to put such a classy bike through that, as I ride year-round. If my Mrs didn't love riding on the back of the Ultra Classic, I'd trade it for the Kawasaki. I have two Kawasakis that I need to move on, a 02) ZZR1200 and an 18) KLR 650.
