- I take out the 2023 Kawasaki Z900RS on a freezing day, for a quick Test ride and first Ride review.
I couldn't feel my face but the "Big Z" felt amazing!
Many thanks go to www.completely... for letting me out on this beast.

On the 21st month with my café. Love it even more now than I did when I bought her January '23. 40+ yrs of riding too.
No rider modes now thats just what i like, great bike, great review you could tell you really did like it. Its on my radar that's for sure as it seems it is on yours.
Absolutely loved it... watch this space!! thanks for watching!
There's actually (2) rider modes, if we're being literal lol.. (1) full traction control AND wheelie control turned on, and then there's (1) mode dedicated for RAIN, and the last mode is all of those things turned OFF. So, three modes lol.
I enjoy watching reviews on this bike, it's very handsome. Brings back memories, first thing I noticed was the time when seats were actually comfortable. The styling, right down to the period accurate font on the badges, takes me back. Yesterday was the same temperature here in Colorado, full face helmet, chin skirt and a balaclava keeps the face warm 👍
thank you so much for watching, yep should definately have worn more!!
First time viewer and great honest first impressions ive owned over 60 bikes in 47years of riding and i can honestly say i bought the se version and im so glad i did its smooth beautiful to look at and all you need and it makes me feel like im in the 70s again ,ive had the gxsr1000,hyabusa ,zzr1400 and they are all awesome but truthfully this bike to me seems just what ive been looking for a very long time well done kawasaki.
thanks buddy, and thank you for subscribing. It's certainly a bike that makes you think about why you got onto biking in the first place. I really loved it.
Great review. I got mine in '21, the first new bike I'd purchased since my GPZ900R (A2) in '86! It really is something very special .. and it had to be to get me back on 2 wheels after a long time away. I used to say that as a man of a certain age it gives me everything I need. But now I feel like I want ... 'more' (don't we always?), and am considering trading it in for a Ninja 1000SX. I now live in Missouri where there are still wide open spaces, very few cops and speed cameras seemingly don't exist.
thanks so much for watching. its a special bike for sure..... if you want more... go for it!
I’ve looked at these bikes and I think they’re a nice little bike takes me back to late 70’s when I started on bikes they were one of the top bikes to have in those days and still now a beautiful little retro bike for buzzing round the countryside great fun take care ride safe
thanks for watching, I loved it,,,
Most brilliant review 👍
thanks dude...
The sounds of this engine is music to my ears. If I were to buy it I'd ignore any cons only for the sound.
it does sound amazing.... thanks so much for watching..
Nice review.
thanks..!!
Great review! Keep it up
Thanks, and thanks for watching.
nicely done sir! I have the Z650RS as I dont need 900cc.... I think the 900 looks and sounds amazing and I wish Kawasaki had given the 650 the same treatment in the looks department. If I could have multiple bikes just like TMF that you mentioned, I would definitely have the 900, for sure
yep it looks amazing and really does sound good. Can't wait for some drier weather to see if i can give it a good outing. thank you so much for watching!
G'day mate. I bought the SE model for my 65th recently, and along with the RE 650 Interceptor, I can honestly say that I am Finally content with the bikes I have in my garage. I had the ZI in '76 (second hand), and fell in love with road bikes from that year on. Cannot recall how many bikes I have previously owned in the last 50 years, but now I have the best of both worlds at my finger tips. Sedate humming along on the RE, and somewhat more spirited "playtime" on the RS. First time on your channel brother, and I appreciate your style. Great review, pity it was so cold and you couldn't really open her up, but I believe you felt the absolutely honest enjoyment of riding this brilliant back to basics bike. Kudo's to Kwaka for bringing the true sense of controlling the bike with your wrist and brain, and not a bloody computer! Greetings from Oz, and subcribed. Cheers mate.
absolutely loved this bike, I also had the RE 650 interceptor but it was physically a bit small for me, this gives you the true feeling of motorcycling, brilliant bike( as I might have mentioned). thanks for watching 😁
I have a yellow ball R/S and I took it to France , went all around Normandy and it was amazing, my advice is buy one you won’t be disappointed. Get a tank bag and rucksack your done 👍
sounds like great advice.. watch this space!!
@@lifeintheshadylane and some heated grips lol
Uprightness 😮
Excellent first impressions ride. Interesting to get a review from the perspective of a taller rider. I'm a similar height and have found a few modern bikes too small, even those much loved by mainstream journo's.
Loved it, it didn't feel small at all... Just a little windy!
@@lifeintheshadylane that'll be the eggs for breakfast.... never a good idea.

Nice Jaffer
Ola! .......from New Mexico.
I now have a craving for the Z900, after seeing your's and related videos.
I appreciate the comments of a fellow "seasoned" rider. Your videography is quite engaging. 👍
Living on the high plains, with wide open and empty roads.......I cringe when I see the narrow and busy British roadways, with zero peripheral vision - buildings and thick vegetation right at the pavement's edge >!< I salute your risk-taking.
Please clarify: does one "bimble" before and after hitting the pub?....or bimble only after a pint or two?
Ty, jd
Love the Z900. Am a older rider getting back into it after many years, so basically like a newer rider. At the moment riding a royal enfield interceptor. Do you think the Z900 is too much for a new rider.🏍👍
i had an interceptor before, id say go for it! you wont regret it. thanks for watching
I love it but woukd want that quad pipe exhuast!
Put a 16tooth sprocket on the front…perfection
yes ive heard a lot about that's, might look into it...
Hmmmmm, what are some of the added benefits or traits that it'll create. Honest question, Z900RS owner. Just wanna learn more..
Wait - Did I just hear you say "this is like my Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor, but bigger."? 😂😂 Okay, yah lost me with *that* comparison. I mean, in so much as they're both motorcycles, I 'spouse you're right. But that's about where it ends too.
See your in Yeovil 😊

nice, ill be looking forward to possible mods.. thanks for watching
A good review it would be nice if it was warmer
yep would be amazing in the hot weather... thanks for watching, appreciate it.
Would you buy it , the Z900RS?
well.... maybe... we just have to wait and see!, thanks for watching!
😁
The fully exposed radiator ruins the bike for me. I loved the ride and the sound, but at the end of the day I have to also admire the look. Too many choices out there to settle.
I guess it's always a personal choice at the end of the day and you have to go with your heart.
Emissions and performance. Can't have both.
Theses bikes are the dogs bollocks . Snatchy clutch just grab it & you are gone one like like sh..t of a shovel. 😊😊😊😊
yep.. loved it. hang on tight, more to come, thanks for watching!
