    Basically I love this bike and you should buy one. Also I'm using the 360 cam in action cam mode, still gives me very good video but fixes that weird line issue I can't otherwise seem to sort.

    I would agree with those who say you take good photos, these were great examples of that! Kawasaki was way ahead of the curve with the modern retros. At the end of the 90s, they had brought back the W series, dressed up some of their Vulcan cruisers as vintage Indians, and had the stunning ZRX1100, too. I always lusted after that 1100. Still do when I see them around from time to time! Have a great weekend!

      Thank you kind sir, I literally just point and shoot and do a little bit of basic editing afterwards. Anyone can do it :)
      Absolutely. There's not a bike named that I wouldn't like to own. Oddly the W800s were cheap for like 6 months and now I can't find any 😂
      You too!

    The best thing about your bike is that it exists.... You are right, Kawasaki took a punt and it paid off. They got it right. The Yamaha not so much . . . A wonderful ramble, and another strange location. Not sure I can relate to all that wasted space 😅. Too used to massive overcrowding these days. My Keeway is certainly an attention grabber. So few unusual/bigger bikes on the city streets day to day here. I think the Z matches your personality. Keep up the good work. 👍

      Exactly, and I hope they continue to follow that trend. Very few people would disagree that older bikes looked better, less plastic as well. Haha I like the limited XSR but I much prefer the Z900RS.
      Haha I just take random turns and find things :D Free space is nice to have but so much of it here is unusable and private and such which is sad.
      Overcrowding I don't think I could ever become used to. It's less people I want to be around :D
      That's cool! Always nice to have a conversation starter :)
      Haha two personalities? :D Thanks man :)

      A busa would be amazing but honestly I think for the riding you do a cruiser does make sense :) If you ever visit tho me and Monkeybutt could let you ride both to see what you think :)

    The Z900RS seems to have an awful lot of what I like in one package. For my, leisure only, riding it would be pretty much perfect. Mmmmh, I need to start saving 😂. My old bike is not hugely popular or high performance, but it's teaching me all the time, both riding and maintenance. Oh, and I absolutely love riding through the countryside on it, can't beat the thrill it gives. Cheers, Andy.

    • @TheGorillaBiker
      @TheGorillaBiker  5 месяцев назад

      It's honestly a great bike. If I was home in Ireland I think it'd do as a only bike tbh. Perfect for shorter trips, the Vstrom just is amazing for the 3 day 1000 mile things you can do over here 😂
      It might not be but Suzuki share a lot of parts over their bikes so you'd be surprised on what you can make fit! :) Haha that's all you need then eh :)

    We had a couple of Z900’s on our Tassie tour and the boys loved them even to tour on. Granted we had a couple of worrying legs because of fuel capacity but they made it to every stop. They are a sweet looking ride 😎✌🏻

    Ther is alot to like about the Z900RS. I love the two colour schemes. They look nice. Hard to go wrong with a naked bike in the looks department.

      @TheGorillaBiker  5 месяцев назад

      Very true. I think my favorite color is the cafe in the Kawasaki lime green. Absolutely beautiful. Might end up with one one day 😂😂

    I had a '21 ZX10 I lost in a wreck last year. Currently riding my spare bike, a CB500F. Considering one of these to replace my CB with instead of getting another ZX10. Local dealer has a '23 Z900RS SE with the upgraded suspension.

    • @TheGorillaBiker
      @TheGorillaBiker  3 месяца назад

      Sorry to hear that!! I don't think you'd regret one of these especially with the better suspension. That said it is light years slower than a ZX10 if you're still looking for that power.

    You should be the prophet you want to see in the world! Also, your brain seems just fine to me. Not sure what that says about me but whatever. My favorite thing about the Z900RS is that I might one day get to ride it.

    • @TheGorillaBiker
      @TheGorillaBiker  5 месяцев назад

      I cannot spread the word of V4 without a V4 though. One that I can ride for videos :P
      Well I'm fine with my brain, it does me well. It does make being "normal" difficult which seems to upset some family members sometimes :P It says you're cool probably.
      You absolutely will!

    @StevenRogers-hw9dj 5 месяцев назад

    I rode one of those last summer and loved the power, handling and looks. The thing that kept me from buying it was the seat. I felt like it was constantly sliding me into the tank. Have you ever noticed anything like that?

    • @TheGorillaBiker
      @TheGorillaBiker  5 месяцев назад

      I've genuinely never had that issue, might be my trousers are grippier.....you could get the seat recovered and it might solve the issue?

    What I like about the RS? The styling, engine platform, and the exhaust sound!!
    What I like about my Road King Special? heather grips and seat, Rinehart exhaust note and rumble, comfort when doing 80+ down the highway, the M8 engine, and lastly that Snake Venom green (Rattlesnake semem green as I call it) paint. It makes the daddy parts tingle in the sun.
    What I like about the KLR6750? Everything except the stock seat. kawasaki can just *uck off with it.

    • @TheGorillaBiker
      @TheGorillaBiker  5 месяцев назад +1

      I would like to try an RKS one day. Still wondering should I have went ahead and bought an R18. It'd be interesting to try a cruiser for the highway stuff since there's so much of it here. Haha that's what paint should do 😁😁😁
      I don't think I've ever heard a good word said about the KLR seat 😂😂
