Kawasaki Z900 vs. BMW F900R vs. Triumph Street Triple RS. Special Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

They all come in new shape for 2020. Kawasaki Z900 features traction control, riding modes, LED lights, TFT dash, the Triumph Street Triple RS comes with superstar suspension and Brembo breaking system, while the BMW is all new for this year: new engine, new chassis - a completely new bike. But which one is better?

    Nice review. I wanted to hear about the z900 since I already ruled the other 2. I had a 2010 street triple r, nice bike but punishing ride on a bumpy road. It was a 675 and had power everywhere. Very reliable, no issues. A lot of reviewer's make a big about quick shifters. I have one on my BMW R1200R and it's nice, but not a big deal. What I really like is the TFT display, gives the bike a premium feel.

    I own a 2017 z900, a 2007 990 superduke and my gf has an mt09. The z always shocks me - in my experience, esp after an ecu flash, it's got a load of torque at 6k+, and is just sooo damn smooth it beggars believe. The superduke is much more raw as you would expect engine wise, but the gears are looooooooong (frequently find myself on the highway thinking in in fifth but I'm in third). The big difference is brakes and suspension - so much better than the other two. The mt09 just isn't to my taste, the suspension is just bad, the seating position kinda feels weird - all subjective stuff but important

    I enjoyed the video. Your English and vocabulary is excellent! I have a 2018 Street Triple RS and love it. I agree about the leg position. In 18' they only offered Quick shifter up which takes some time to get used to. It is like a scalpel it goes where you think. I had the Ninja 1000 abs and thought I loved it until the Triumph. I like you chose the Kawasaki because I have had many and I like Kawasaki and prefer them but I think the Triumph is more appealing. My BMW is the 2020 X3 M Comp and love it but I love their cars more than Motard! I agree about the KTM missing from the review as well as Ducati and where do you stop? LOL I have the 1190 Adventure and love it for many reasons so I would have liked to hear your opinion on KTM. Please keep up the very engaging reviews!

    Thanks for the video it was great. I have a street triple RS and I agree with you with some things. The lack of midrange and low down power also annoys me, it only opens up after 8000rpm, not great for a road bike. But I do disagree about the leg pain. I’m 6 foot 2 with dodgy knees and have no problem with the peg position, no pain from me. If pegs were any lower you would be scrapping the pegs constantly

    I do not understand this midrange issue as I have a 2018 765 R and never noticed that. Then again, when I ride twisties out here in Colorado, I barley get out of 2nd and keep the revs high and sometime short shift just to lower the RPM. You have to be aggressive when you ride this bike, or you will experience the low mids. Ride it like you stole it and I assure you that thing will stomp these other bikes when it comes to canyon carving and doing track days.

    Neo Smith your right, if you ride it in a lower gear you have no problem. Also you have the R model which has more midrange and low down power than the RS model. Neo I suppose I just noticed it massively because I have come from a 2012 street triple 675 r and that pulled like a train from low down in the rev range.

    And because the R is lower spec will get totally overlooked - wrongly. But I thinkk you're right, it's a much better road bike, better mid range torque feel, and the cheaper suspension probably comfier than the RS.

    Maybe you needed to be in a lower gear for those fast corner exits on the RS my friend! And if you want more midrange grunt there's always the Speed Triple. Totally agree with you about the mirrors getting in the way when cornering aggressively, my only issue with the bike.

    He was right. He said that because he was in the normal rev range when testing these 3 bikes. Why would I rev the shit of the Triple while I can get more torque in relatively low rpm with Z900? Don't get me wrong I love RS with all the equipment and looks but specs wise, triple's torque is way less than Z900, it only has 58 lbft at high rpm 9350, compared to Z900 73.1 lb-ft @ 7,700 rpm. That make sense. Triple is always a better track bike compare to Z, but for more torque and acceleration, it can't beat Z...There is no need to bring Speed Triple into this war since it's more expensive, in that case, Kawa has Z-H2 to compare.

    @@xcg1234 no doubt the RS makes less torque low down, but that's how it's designed, to be a supersport without fairings and with a handlebar... So one should ride it as such, keeping it in the sweet spot. And if we're keeping the Speed out of it, then look towards the Street Triple R, which has a meatier torque curve while sacrificing some top-end power, making it ideal for road use. (Yes I know there isn't a new one yet, just an example). Put the RS in the correct gear and it'll power out of any corner harder than anything else here... And if u have a lazy left foot, maybe it just isn't for you.

    I think the R variant on the ST3 Is the one which you’d like, it’s tuned for more low and midrange, which makes sense considering R is tuned for the street. The RS probably will be better in the track with a better top end.

    You're right about the 2017/19 STR being better than the RS as a street bike and exactly the reason I opted for the R over the RS but Triumph remedied this with the 2020 RS, I rode both back to back in 2020 and the new RS has power everywhere so I bought one when it came time to change my bike.
