If anyone wonders why my rev-matching moves seem so violent: 1) my chest mount was quite loose which allowed it to shake rather badly thus exaggerating this effect 2) I purposely tried to rev-match while being on the brake lever. Just for practice reasons. Since I ride a lot slower these days AND many modern bikes have blippers installed I noticed that I'm losing my ability to properly rev-match while being on the brake lever. I don't need that technique since I coast a lot when road riding but still I don't want to lose my skills which I learned over all those years while riding my old CB500. And since I'm out of practice it is a bit difficult to get the movement right but I noticed that it is easier for me to get it right when I'm exaggerating the movements of my right hand. ENJOY!
To this day, in cities people yell at me from their sub-compact cars: "We already heard you! Why incessant revving!?" Then continue their text conversations.
I own this bike. Super fun with lots of power. It holds its own very well against other bikes in the same class. It always surprises me how much torque it has. It also throws its weight around better than any other bike I’ve ever ridden. Might have something to do with the ergonomics of the seating but it handles very very rice.
Honestly, I drove Z650 and Z900 one right after the other and both me and my friend we surprisingly agreed that the Z650 was more fun. Don't get me wrong, Z900 seems perfect and I absolutely love it since the first time I drove that thing. It pulls from down low like mad. It's precise, planted, it turns with zero effort, the engine is butter smooth and sounds really cool even as an inline 4. But in the end it boiled down to the fact that the Z650 being far ligther is more agile and given it's far lower power you can really push that bike almost all the time. I really like letting the bike go and rev under full throttle. But with Z900 you get from 0 to 200 kph in around 10 seconds while it's smaller brother never even gets there. Personally I don't want to get anywhere close to 200 kph on public roads and it's just too easy with 90 kW bike. Anyway, I higly recommend a test drive, you'll definately have a blast! It's kind of a dilema for me deciding where to go from an A2 bike. More power is fun but it is also more limiting in some sense. :(
@@jiricech6370 Personally Mt-09 or Z900, but in favor of the mt-09 for the 3 cylinder, if Ktm weren't so unreliable i would go 100% for the 890/790 duke, 2 cylinders are just so fun. Definitely but it's all about self control, and it's always better to have more punch in the 100+ km/h, oh right you won't be able to go with full throttle with these ones haha

@@gbner9991 I don't think there is much wrong with the chassis. It's just the suspension that isn't the best. I owned a mt09 tracer from 2016, and currently have a MT-10. There is a noticable difference in suspension quality.
@@gbner9991 How do you classify suspension on paper? Does it mention the type of oil used, the type of spacers, the type of spring and so on? I have yet to have a ride on the mt09 though, probably beginning of the next season.
Great vid and solid riding, So confident in the cornering so a pleasure to watch thank you! I have the 2020 z900 myself in black with Red decals. Love everything about the bike, I have respect for the MT09 as I have been on one and owned the MT07 for 25,000klm but glad I chose the Z900 All day long. Just a much more refined bike, I see comments that the 09 is quicker from the start but from the stats I read 0 to 100 klm times are MT 09 = 2.8sec Z900 3.0 sec. I would say that to the majority of people reading this that two tenths of a second will not mean much and that's only relevant if you consistently nail the start. My advise, Just buy the one that makes you go the most fizzy inside when you look at it whatever bike that may be. Work on the rest later. Great vid, stay upright!!
I have Gen 1. I can't think of a more outstanding and versatile platform. Not to mention rugged. The only think Kawi could do to improve their z line is to put a rocket engine in it.
I delayed getting exhaust for mine because I love the the motor sounds. This bike is planted.Ive slid a couple times but stay in the gas and it always pulls straight out. Great bike !
A spectacular piece of engineering, this bike is - but that's true of nearly every bike you post here. Modern marvels. Could be why I have two in the garage. (bikes - not Z900s!) ;)
wow, I own a zr-7, had it for 20 years and 40 k miles, a nice riding bike. I can tell this z900 is refined and improved in every way, it obviously has way more power which means more than most people need, but it seems to be very smooth, I'm guessing the bike has the same neutral great handling, just a great road burner. for people comparing the mt09 I'd guess the z900 is the better bike for riding like this video shows sporty and through the gears, the mt09 I'd guess is better for hot roding.
Great ride & bike. Awesome to see you more relaxed & back in sync.....but at the same time.....safer through experience 👍 I have wanted to to own one of these for so long, rode one and many others in the past few weeks on my search. Sadly & most of all annoying thing for me is the Kawasaki riders triangle , it still remains too cramped for me to be comfortable. I am from a dirt background & currently have a 2018 MT-07, like it a lot but have outgrown it. I finally decided on the2020 Suzuki GSX-S1000F, sporty but comfy for a 50 year old worn out body & fits our budget. All the best & keep up the great videos, I for one appreciate your skills, passion & determination, but most of all seeing your confidence returning/growing, especially in this video.
Geiles Video jetzt nochmal bevor die Saison zu Ende ist. Wieder mal nice unterwegs gewesen Schaaf ;) die Z ist echt klasse. Fahre selber ne 2006 Z1000 und ne CB 500 (deine Videos waren mit der Grund für die CB) aber die neue 900 gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Übrigens hast du die Honda noch ? Leider keine Videos mehr mit der kleinen.
OE Exhaust Sound so Sweet, If Z900 Install After Market Full System Exhaust Sound so Excellent. Thankyou for Your VDO It's Make Deside Between Z900 & MT10(CP4) It's Value for Money.
I got both, the Z900 and the MT10 (sp). The MT10 is just a league in it's own, the sound is so addicting, the power is just insane (100hp against 155 after flash) but to be honest, the Z is easier to ride. Beginner, go for the Z. Experienced rider, go for the MT10.
Der Verkaufserfolg ist in dem Fall wirklich berechtigt. Da ist Kawa etwas sehr gut funktionierendes gelungen, das zudem durch den Preis für sehr viele zugänglich ist.
@@hfr8343 Well, it's slipping, especially above 6k and under hard acceleration. The cable freeplay dosen't meet specs so it may not have been allowing the pressure plate to fully disengage for who knows how long. Regardless, something has failed and needs fixed, it is earlier than expected but I did get to 28k.
Schaaf I watch all your videos and I love it. I listen to sound of engine while working when I miss my vitpilen. I want to buy z900 next year maybe and I've noticed that sound is weird in this one you rode. There is some "clunk" when reving up that wasn't present on other videos I've seen. Weird. Cool bike, I wanted to try it out this year but it's gone in my country. I guess price to what you get was too good :D
Nice video. I kind of wish it would redline higher, to maybe 12-13k. Then you can shift around 12-12.5k. Currently when ringing it out, it sounds like it wants to rev more but can’t. Or maybe I’m just use to the zx6r singing to the moon 🌝
Thanks Schaaf another great video, I can only imagine the trouble I could get into with this bike, but its tempting. Another little while on my Ninja 650 I think before riding a large capacity in line 4, but I do think this is a great little machine.
glad to see you loving the z900 ! please, tell me, do you prefer it over the MT09? ( i know this question being asked alot, but i just have to ask it ) :)
I know I'm a little late to the party on this one, but given that you've had the Z out a few times Schaaf I'm wondering something about this one. You may not have any direct experience with it, but given how good the Z900 is do you think the Z900 SE is worth the extra cost for being used on the street or no?
It's a pleasure to watch you carve those curves. I have a question for you. It is time for me to trade in my trusty Bandit 1200 and Z900 is on the top of my list to replace it primarily due to it's ergo and engine character. However, if I get the bike, I'll have to deflect the wind off my chest. How did that Givi screen perform?
Great drive. I was definitely determined to buy Z900 2020. But now i can see new MT09 2021 which has quickshifter up/down and more electronic assistents - i have respect and i feel more safty if electronic assistent can help in crazy situation. New MT09 weights about 20kg less than Z900. I am driving only max 200km in the afternoon. Sometimes on small technical circuit. Which bike do you prefer to be faster on technical circuit and feel better during this drive?
Hello schaaf, great video my friend.. keep it up and made my own little version but never as good as yours... just a quick question regarding the camera set up.. do you use stabilisation?
Hey Schaaf! Great video and commentary. Just wondering what you think of the gearbox? I find that I need to put very little pressure on the shifter peg to shift gears and that the clutch friction zone is quite narrow. Most of the motorcycles I've owned have had a much more, for lack of a better word, "noticible" gear change sensation to them. I find on the Z900 that the gear change process works best with a much softer touch on the shifter peg and a quicker clutch lever disengage/engage movement. Your thoughts?
Super video wie immer! Ich hab eine Frage zur Z. Ich hab auch eine z900 2020, mir ist aufgefallen, dass es beim betätigen des Gasgriffs am Beginn, also wenn das Gas angenommen wird, immer zu einem kurzen Klickgeräusch kommt, das selbe Klicken kommt auch wenn ich dann den Gashahn wieder zudrehe. Es klingt wie ein Relaisklick... Meistens dann zu hören wenn die Maschine etwas warmgefahren ist. Hast du das auch? 😬 Liebe Grüße aus Graz

''still I don't want to lose my skills which I learned over all those years while riding my old CB500''
Solution? Ride the Honda more.
Petition for a walk around in the first 30 seconds of the video! :)
Great drive. Fast when you can and slow when it's needed. That's the difference between great and no-brain dangerous bikers
thanks for recognizing
That intake sound from the airbox during acceleration is simply eargasmic. 😍
Thanks
This is good. No unnecessary music, unnecessary review. Just a man and his bike, the scenery and sound of the machine.
Thanks
Man your riding is so smooth it's very satisfying to watch you ride
Thanks ✌️
I own this bike. Super fun with lots of power. It holds its own very well against other bikes in the same class. It always surprises me how much torque it has. It also throws its weight around better than any other bike I’ve ever ridden. Might have something to do with the ergonomics of the seating but it handles very very rice.
Couldn't agree more!
In my opinion the engine get's boring after a whlle. It does not realy like to rev. You have to force it.
I bought an ER-6 as my first bike for my A2 license, thanks to your channel I think the Z900 would be the best upgrade when I'm getting my A license.
great idea!

The speedo is indeed low, it covers the handlebar clamp. I think it has to do with the crouching tiger design.

However, if I get the bike, I'll have to deflect the wind off my chest. How did that Givi screen perform?
very well actually. I highly recommend it
Great drive. I was definitely determined to buy Z900 2020. But now i can see new MT09 2021 which has quickshifter up/down and more electronic assistents - i have respect and i feel more safty if electronic assistent can help in crazy situation. New MT09 weights about 20kg less than Z900. I am driving only max 200km in the afternoon. Sometimes on small technical circuit. Which bike do you prefer to be faster on technical circuit and feel better during this drive?
for circuit riding I'd prefer the Z with modified suspension.
Hello schaaf, great video my friend.. keep it up and made my own little version but never as good as yours... just a quick question regarding the camera set up.. do you use stabilisation?
nope
Hi, what would you recommend between Z900 and 765 R?
Yes, depends on your budget. And the Kawa is more reliable
Hey Schaaf! Great video and commentary. Just wondering what you think of the gearbox? I find that I need to put very little pressure on the shifter peg to shift gears and that the clutch friction zone is quite narrow. Most of the motorcycles I've owned have had a much more, for lack of a better word, "noticible" gear change sensation to them. I find on the Z900 that the gear change process works best with a much softer touch on the shifter peg and a quicker clutch lever disengage/engage movement. Your thoughts?
I liked how it worked :)
@@Schaaf Indeed you did! :)
Super video wie immer! Ich hab eine Frage zur Z. Ich hab auch eine z900 2020, mir ist aufgefallen, dass es beim betätigen des Gasgriffs am Beginn, also wenn das Gas angenommen wird, immer zu einem kurzen Klickgeräusch kommt, das selbe Klicken kommt auch wenn ich dann den Gashahn wieder zudrehe. Es klingt wie ein Relaisklick... Meistens dann zu hören wenn die Maschine etwas warmgefahren ist. Hast du das auch? 😬 Liebe Grüße aus Graz
Servus! Mir wäre nichts dergleichen aufgefallen, aber ich war auch nur sehr kurz mit der Z unterwegs!
Das macht meine von 2017 auch. Fährt aber trotzdem ohne Probleme 😊✌️ btw. auch Gruß aus Graz
Lorenz Flick ok danke für deine Antwort. Dann schätz ich mal das gehört so 😬
please make a video of Honda CBR 1000rr-r 2020
