I’m new to this area so he doesn’t know me. He offered to order one in for me and asked me which colour I liked 👀. I explained about my spine & told him I just wanted to see how it felt. Dropped past again on Friday and there was a brand new Red one 😍 My only issue with it was swinging my leg over the seat, but painful but not nice I was on it it felt good except the insanely HARD seat. My wife sat on the back, she’s tiny but her seat was like HARD PLASTIC 😂 So would need to order some seats, radiator guard, Akroprovic slip on & I need to find someone to PPF it for me. I was mostly concerned about the suspension, how will I go with my pain 🥹 I’ve been off bikes for 3 years since I was injured, it’s killing me. Nice only ridden 5 or 6 times since then and I actually dream about riding. People don’t understand but when you ride for nearly everyday of your life for 50 years then stop it’s like some sort of withdrawal and I’ve had enough. Just need to hit the roads again. I’m really jealous of you. I’m not sure if I should pop in and just ride away on it or wait until my new shed gets built……. I need to ride but trying to fight the bike on and out of my car shed won’t be much fun. 🤔 Did you have any trouble dialling the suspension in?

Quality of parts on the build and offered features. By no means is the z900 crappy quality I just think they specifically make them to a budget.
