Thank you for your initial video! Since then, how do you like your bike now? Four months later?... Thank you again!

Been watching few of yours videos since yesterday and I currently own a cb650r no complaints at all is absolutely more than enough for any normal person and I am kind of a "Honda-guy" but if for any reason I eventually get the tickle to buy another motorcycle I am considering this one as the only available option now all others are fugly or dont trust their reliability... Keep the videos coming 😃👍🏻👋🏻

Good road for a pleasant ride. Less traffic

Idk if the 2022 version is any different from 2020 (I’m not talking about the SE version) but mine has 4 different modes, Sport, Road, Rain, Rider. Btw where do you have your cam mounted at?

It’s not as ez as a 650 😂 I have the 2020 900 and I drove my friend’s 2021 650 and there’s definitely difference. But you’re def right bout outgrowing 650 fast

Yes i would recommend

Looks beautiful in blue! Im very surprised

At 9000 rps that engine truly wakes up to the point the back-wheel starts to squirm. But the Dunlop Roadsport II are actually good tyres. Ride em 4000 miles in all kind of bad rainfall. Roadsport 1 tyres on the Z800 was dangerous with lots of traction issues. What makes z900 great bike is the smoothness and its progressive nature. And that intake noise is so fun to listen to when riding.

will buy the same color

Downside is it still has no oem heated grips and no standard quickshifter. Waiting for those option to be standard before looking at a new bike :D

Hi Sunil the old z800 have alot steeper angle over the handlebars. New Z900 is semi upright and you get no weight on hands and arms. At acceleration or +90km/h you need to lean forward to brace against the wind and acceleration slightly. I done 900 kilometer or 560 miles on one day and only caused num butt. It took about about 12 hours to ride with some rest stops along the way. So you can certainly do long tours on new Z900. I sold my Z800 brand new because seating position was causing wrist pain.

this might be a small thing to complain about it's also a small thing kawasaki could have did. The tft displays colors are black white and GREEN..... on a blue bike. why didn't they make it blue? Can you change the colors and stuff on the display? if so that would be cool. and another small thing that would get more people to buy the bike is just have more customization features on the display.

Had my motorcycle endorsement for a few months now... I know I'm new, I've given myself every reason why I shouldn't... BUT... This or an MT09 will be my first. The more I learn, the more obsessed I become.
