Those of us who road those type of bike in the 70’s absolutely loved them and manufactures were selling more than they could make. It was such an exciting time, we loved to ride because of style and comfort. And than they lost us, abandoned would be more like it, thinking horsepower and low bars were what we wanted and sales suffered. Thanks Kawasaki for listening before it’s too late.

Back when you could get a new 1000 Kaw for less than $2000.00 my friend wanted me to buy one with 3 others at the same time to see if the price could come down even more, but the dealer had trouble getting any more.

Well said.

Can't say I have a problem with the throttle, all I did was tighten up the cables so that there was minimal free play, after 7500mls don''t think about it at all. Did some twiddling with the suspension, but the best mod is to put decent tyres on it, Michelin road5's completely transform the bike as the originals are just horrible things especially if it's wet or even slightly damp. Great bikes and definitely get a lot of comments how it looks when you park up.

I have had mine since last Feb. One of the best looking bikes ever & so good to ride & this is coming from someone who has a 2020 Ducati Streetfighter. Half the power def doesnt mean half the fun. Probably the only new inline four that you are not thinking about a slip on. Agree somewhat with your opinion of the throttle, over sensitive but ive learned to ride round it. Gets better when the kms build up. Kawasaki have hit the ball out of the park. Great Review. Love your work. AU

Love your real world reviews, no matter what bike you’re on. You do an awesome job, keep it up.

You are right about the throttle issue...but after a thousand miles, you get used to it, and in another thousand miles, you LOVE it. Honest.

Booster plug sorted the fueling in mine and now rides beautifully.

FINALLY!!! Been a long time coming Chopsy, I love the look of this bike I've been so close to owning one but never taken the plunge (yet) I also like the look of the z900 it will be interesting to see your verdict on that too. Keep up the good work and look forward to your next vid 👍

My old man's just brought one Always been a 1700 1800 cruiser bloke Got this and absolutely loves it Great review as always chopsie,I'll show him this video All the best mate 👍

The look of that bike at 13:55 is stunning! Thanks for the review.

I had a look at the Kawasaki Z900RS last week when I bought my current bike. I was blown away with the overall quality of the bike and its looks. The Candy Tone Blue with the gold stripe was my favourite colourway, it looked stunning; the Metallic Dark Green with the silver stripe is nice, as well. I'm 6' 2" and when I sat on the bike I immediately felt extremely comfortable; it's the most comfortable I've ever felt sitting on a bike in a dealership. It's hard to explain, but was like taking a new suit off a hanger in a clothes shop, trying it on, and finding out it fits perfectly! Even though the bike weighs in at 215kgs, it felt very light because all of the weight is low down. The Triumph Speed Twin was also a bike I was looking at, but this bike is a real contender. Yes, it's expensive, but it's one I'll definitely be looking at again in the future, in fact, if I could, I'd take one now - it's that good!

I own a 2018 z900 and found the throttle snatchy from new. After adjusting the play out of the throttle cable it seems absolutely fine now. The usual 3-4mm of play at the grip doesn’t seem to work well on this bike. I’m not saying this is the problem that all owners are encountering but it could be a simple fix for some. I love this bike!

Throttle snatch for me I don’t find so bad, but I traded a Ducati Supersport S for it and compared to that it’s smooth as butter 😂.

Hi Mate, good video. As a Z900RS owner since Feb2021 I have to say that the throttle is not an issue with me. As you say, the finesse does become second nature. My honest opinion is that, for me, no change is necessary. Many have remapped theirs. It is a personal choice. Cheers.

So it looks like they still haven’t fixed the throttle snatch. It was bad on my 2018 Z900RS Jaffa (the best color) when I bought it new, but the Booster Plug made in Denmark, which fools the ECU, fixed it pretty well. Dyno run and ECU flash coming up shortly when we’re out of lockdown here in Melbourne. No need to change the exhaust, it’s perfect in my opinion. Not too quiet, not too noisy, and it looks great.

@@johnridesadv2512 From what I can gather on the various Z900RS forums, it was the luck of the draw if the fuelling was acceptable or not. I’m surprised Chop’s was bad, I thought they would have fixed it by now. The Booster Plug which I fitted to my bike fixed the problem, but apparently on other bikes it didn’t make much difference. The only real way out is a ECU reflash, which is easy enough and $200 -350 if you send the ECU away without a dyno run. It’s going to cost me about $800 AUD for my flash and dyno run, although to be honest I’m pretty happy the way the bike is.

Forgot to say, you can fix the snatchy throttle easily, just get it remapped (potentially an Akro or other exhaust as well), it fixes it and also allows it to run richers which solves the high engine temp issues you get with the standard (i.e. it runs lean and hot normally).

Ian, The "original" Z1900 is from 1972, orange and brown in colour. I have one in my garage for the past 29 years.

Thanks for the close up shots it really is a beautiful bike.

I love this bike and really need to try one. IMHO this has tonnes more authenticity than something like the Triumph T120. I'd say it's a Z900 for the modern world, rather than the T120 being a modern bike pretending to be aged. Kawasaki hit the nail on the head.

Had mine since 2019. Wonderful bike. Changed the Dunlop Sportmax for Michelins, greatly improved stability. Other than that no complains apart from the twitchy throttle. Excellent review.

The retro styles of the engine casings - it looks the same contrasts and setup as my 1976 Yam 750 2D Shaft Drive Triple. Agree with you totally. Had a metallic silver tank with deep blue flash. I loved that bike!! Thanks for the honest review - love the exhausts and chrome, black wheels and machined spokes and rim!

I have just bought a Z900 RSSE and you are right, the throttle is snatchy. My first ride i thought, what have I bought but the second ride was 60% better and the next even better still. Like everything, practice makes perfect and you develop better muscle control to overcome the problem and after a while your brain demotes the new action you are using to automatic instead of thinking about every movement of your hand, because it is still in the learning process. In comparison my 600 Honda throttle was smooth and progrogressive from the the outset and there was a noticeable difference between the two. It would have been better if the Kawasaki was the same but I have accepted it now. Because of this and the bags of low down grunt the bike has, I have nick named it ' Pepperami ' because ' it is a bit of an animal '. It is definitely not a just passed your test bike to buy ! The ohlins on the SE and the enhanced strengthened frame has made the suspension great on mine.

I have a 2019 Jaffa. Throttle is fine. The one thing I did have to change was the rear shock... a K-Tech razor R sorted the bounciness issue. Great bike all around. Thanks for a great review.

I took one of these out for a test ride a couple of years ago and was pleasantly surprised how nice it was . I also rode the Z900 naked and found that the motor in that bike was really smooth which is strange as it's essentially same motor. Great review again Chops 👍😊

I'm told its the gearing which is different on the RS that causes the problem,

I really like the look of this bike and I'm very tempted to move in to the whole modern retro scene for my daily ride (I must be getting old!). I think this one could be the best of the bunch.

I actually bought one of those Z-1 back in 1975? Back then this was the fastest, most scary bike one would dare ride! This neo model would be nice with gold wheels and spokes. The black/gold color combo never gets old! This newer bike is very nice.

I have the 2018 model year. I did an ECU flash, airbox mod, replaced front & rear suspension with K-tech brand, Michelin pilot power 5's and its an awesome bike in the twisties. I have an awesome looking bike that also performs quit well.

I was sold just based on looks, but that sound…oh that sound. That thing will sound savage with a pipe. I love your reviews, and I’m hoping Wheels just gives you carte blanche on all their bikes to review!

Great real world review as always Chops. I've got a 2019 Cafe RS900 (same bike but with the cowl, as I'm sure you know!) I've fitted the o2 eliminator sensor (£15) which helps with the throttle response, although I never found it too bad.... I've fitted a full akro system to mine recently. The sound is awesome! Nevertheless, to get the bike running at its best; a PCV or flash is needed. The suspension is a bit budget, but as always a professional set up helps hugely :) Cheers Geoff

Great video Chopsy and I agree with your comments. I've had my new 900rs for ten days and the snatchy throttle is the only 'fly in the ointment'. When it goes in for it's first 600 mile service I'll be looking to Kawasaki to sort it out. Apart from that, it's the perfect bike for me.

It is Gorgeous. I was waiting for years for someone to come out with a retro modern bike like this. The first bike I rode was an old Honda Nighthawk 650. it looked exactly like this bike in styling.

The throttle is said to be a easy fix. Revisiting the next year Z900rs SE model when it arrives would be interesting, better suspension and brakes plus refinements should make this bike even better for people with more aggressive riding style.

On the throttle --- I slapped a G2 Throttle Tamer tube on mine, and now it's perfect. No more snatchy throttle at low speeds.

simply the best modern retro out there.

As someone how went from nearby buying an R1, then a Speed 1200. To finally buying a Thruxton RS - I regret not one bit - these type of retro classics are brilliant :-) All the warm fussy feeling of a cool retro design, but with modern reliability.

Excellent review as usual. Love the look of the bike but the throttle would be very annoying for any rider, be interesting to read the comments on the throttle. I have been tempted with this bike, having once had the original Z900 many moons ago. After watching your video I don't think I will bother, at 61 (not 50), I'm not ready for cafe runs!!! As a further note to age I still do track days regularly and the quickest man on track is 74 and trashes everyone on his Aprilia 2 stroke 250!!! Your not ready for the slippers yet old son!!!! I sure can see the attraction though, what a beauty.

Luv it ! timeless classic bike I remember them first time around and never had one regrettably to pricy for me at the the time this new one looks just as good . : )

Nice video..... having never ridden any other bike (apart from training bikes) it seems from your video that I made a wise choice for once! Passed my test in November 2019 (age 47). The Z900RS was and still is my first bike (apart from a Duke 125). I bought it new on a 20 plate in Candytone Green. I constantly live in fear of scratching the tank to the extent it lives under a double duvet when not being used. I bought this type of retro bike so wouldn't be under pressure to incrementally increase my speed as I gain confidence. I am quite happy to keep within the speed limit and I believe this type of bike looks better ridden at a slower and more conservative pace. But fun can still be had if requested. The bike is great and I have never been disappointed with either the bike or with the Kawasaki dealer/service network. Alas, I have had nothing to compare it to being a newbie with limited knowledge of differnet bikes. But...... as you say the first gear is terrible and needs to be tamed somewhat. I wish Kawasaki would provide a ECU flash to correct this. I negotiated a four year warranty when I bought the bike as I intend to keep it, but I believe I void the warranty if I have it flashed by a third party. I am not sure if there is a work around for this? I have sort of gotten use to it, but it can catch you out on occasions. Happy to keep the bike as stock, but would like to improve first gear.

I was attracted to those but the dealer didn't have one to try. Went to Triumph and ended up with a Speed twin which is fantastic - except for the snappy throttle! It has lots of low/mid range pull and lopes along at 70mph for the transit distances with a burble - which I doubt a 4 could match. Sad to hear the new 900 is still snatchy - certainly a thing of beauty.

Yes, attention to detail. What doomed the zephyrs of the '90's. The frame welds, the fuel tanks that invariably rusted out around the seams, and poor finish generally. Still love mine, would love to add a z900rs to the garage. Good review!

G'day Mr Chops. A very good video . Z900RS classic bike, i love it. A bit of fettling should get rid of the niggles. Takes me back to the 70's.

Beautiful looking bike, the one thing missing, for me, is rear shocks, especially on the gold wheels version, then.....🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ve read a lot about this issue and many owners have tried a Booster Plug and have had great results. I get my bike very soon and will fit one as I noticed the problem on my test rides. I’ll let you know how it goes.

13:25 "hoho, that's straight up to... sixty plus" 😂 Thanks for the review. Placed an order on one (in 2022!) despite the snatchy throttle reputation. I hope I learn to "finesse the throttle" and live with it.

Agree with you about the throttle chopsy, I had a demo on one, ace bike apart from the snatchyness, I found it like a new version of my xjr1300, perfect for bimbleing about on and just enjoying the ride 👌

My dad really loves this bike, even I have to admit its beautiful if not a little too retro for my tasty... She is stunning...

Thanks for video. My 2008 Bonneville had a bit of that on off throttle feel. I mean I got used to it but and the rest of the bike made up for it. Funny think is my wife's 2022 Royal Enfield is smooth as silk in the throttle, almost feels carb'd . I'd love to test ride this kawa. It's like bikes I grew up on.

Hi Chops I couldn't agree more with everything that you said, I sold mine late October 21 just because of the aggressive throttle. Its a real shame as everything else about the bike feels premium and the induction roar and exhaust does take you back. A young at heart 60 years old the Z900rs was very smooth but also still a little too soft and boring at times, I tried various fixes but that throttle response ruined the owner experience for me. Try before you buy. Cheers

Great review chops. Lovely looking bike. Shame about the throttle but I think the Euro 5 is worse than the Euro 4 snatch. Still should be an easy fix. That new SE model looks even better and should handle and stop better as well. I am seriously looking at the SE as a possible new buy for me next year since I am an old git now [59]. It would be interesting to do a back to back test with your mate between the standard model and the new SE version next year to see how much difference the upgrades make . Anyway chops, take care mate and ride safe.

I'm glad you said about the throttle. I saw the Z900RS SE and was going to put my name down, but that throttle action put me off when I test rode the stock bike. Shouldn't come from the factory like that. It also seemed to surge once past that snatchyness?

Great real world review.

Great looking bike. Can’t see you going without your track days. 😂

Cracking machine… I was sooooooooo close to buying one of these last November. Only the added usefulness of the Crosstourer won the argument. Definitely on my list of next bikes to add to the collection. Great review as always chops, keep up the great work. 👍👍👍

I bought a 2020 last year, and I agree about the snatchy throttle. Regarding the power/performance: if you're an average biker and you rev it, it's more than enough, believe me😁.

Had one of these for nearly three years now and agree with all your observations, on the whole a good review. Only thing I disagree with is the comfy seat and footpeg position comments. My experience is the complete opposite, the footpegs are in the wrong position, need to be lower and further forward or back depending on your size and preference, but they are basically in the wrong position for comfort in terms of the bars and upright position. Had to have the seat remade as it continually pushed me forward uncomfortably. It is strange that such a great bike in all other respects is just so uncomfortable to ride as a tourer. I think Kawasaki got most things right but sacrificed the positioning of the rider in order to satisfy the retro requirements.
