I Bought MY DREAM BIKE (One of a few) | Kawasaki Z900RS 

At the very start I am aware I didn't say Z900RS, use the like button on this comment for the deserved abuse. I had been on the road 7 hours and was cooked :D My brain is allowed the odd slip. :)

I’d have one for sure. One of the best looking bikes ever made.

Its a beautiful bike. I listened to a conversation between 2 z900rs owners and their passion and excitement put a massive smile on my face. Im already thinking about my next bike and this is a contender. Congratulations

I own a z900rs Cafe and everything is stock, I love it the way it is, just got suspension adjusted but the overall riding experience is so pleasing, the sound, the mechanics, the simplicity and the linear torque.

Happy Birthday youngster!!!!! What a brilliant addition to the stable. What a fantastic way to spend your Birthday. Your plans sound pretty damned good too. Congratulations and here's to much enjoyment to come. OC - it's number one on my bike wish list for sure. Cheers, Andy.

Happy Birthday GB and congratulations on the new acquisition. what a great day youre having

That’s a nice bike. Love the content! Happy Birthday! 🎉

Happy Birthday! The Kawasaki Z900RS looks amazing and it will be my next bike. I plan on picking one up later this year. I'm going to start buying the upgrade parts for it now! 😀 I love naked sport bikes and when I saw this retro beauty, I fell in love. Thanks for the videos!

One of the reasons I subscribed to your channel was the z900RS review video. You were so blown away by that bike. That was the reason I bought one to (had three in total) you are also one of the reasons why I started my own channel. Thanks! And congrats!

Congrats and happy birthday,i also have the Z900RS SE shortlisted as my next bike but in the green and gold of my native Kerry. Stunning looking bike with an old school look but a modern machine underneath it all.

Happy birthday 🎊🎉🎈🎁🎂 and congratulations on the bike 👏👏👏

Happy Birthday and congratulations on your current purchase. I would definitely have that bike as like you I live the retro style bikes as it's what I grew up with. Retro style with modern dependability. Of course any well maintained machine is dependable.

Whoa! Nice bike, I always liked the look of those. All the Kawasaki retros for that matter. Enjoy it, and happy birthday!

Congrats! Lovely purchase, enjoy your Birthday🎉

Congratulations on your new bike. Also looking to pick up a used one later this year. Looking forward to your Z900RS videos.

Happy birthday man and wear well with the new bike, shes fantastic in them colours, 👌

It really is a lovely machine....gee thanks....now I want one!! Yup, one of your most popular vids Congratulations and Happy BDay!! Sounds like a wonderful day! VIR is a blast, raced there in 2000 and it was brand new back then. VIR had been shut down for years and it reopened with all new facilities and fresh tarmac! You will like it! Very busy track, no place to rest at all. Even the front straight is not really straight. Looking forward to more vids with the z900! OC: I would totally consider buy one and I would love one for a cafe project.

Congrats on the birthday present! She's a beauty!

Congrats on getting your dream bike dude. I hope you enjoy it for a long time! Same here & everywhere I believe. Prices have gone through the roof!

Really enjoyed the video congratulations on your purchase

Sweet new ride Mate. Yes I would have one! Oh happy belated birthday 🎂🍻🍻

The z has a great heritage Great bike mate 👍

Congratulations! It’s been exciting to see you get this bike. It’s lovely.

You bloody ripper. So cool. One of my dream bikes too. Love it.

Congratulations on your new Kawasaki, absolutely beautiful ❤️

Nice bike, congratz for it an for the video

Happy Birthday and congratulations on the new bike. It's awesome when you get a dream bike and it's as good as you thought. I got my T120 and it has been amazing over 3,000 miles in 6 weeks, which as you know here in the UK that is a fair amount, and I have loved absolutely ever second of it. The z900rs is a great looking bike and I've heard great things about them so I'm sure you'll be super happy with it.

Very nice. Looks the dogs! A great way to celebrate your birthday. Enjoy!🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations on buying your dream bike. Sometimes being slightly more uncomfortable is worth it to own such a beautiful bike. edit: belated happy birthday, had my 59th a few days ago

I have a 2018. Great bike. Welcome to the club.

Congrats on the new bike and happy birthday 🎂. Sharp looking bike. So what's that? Three in the stable now 😅 and don't give me but the Honda's Toaster's bike BS😊😂😂😂😂

Absolutely brilliant bike. Hoon it. Hoon it well!

Fair play man, congrats on the new wheels. Its a beautiful machine

owned one.. youll enjoy that a lot.. youll never retgret z900rs purchase

I get that too buddy! Happy birthday! New bike smell is the best!! 10k on my MT07 since last October in the Irish winter, spring and summer(ish) :)

Super congrats Michael, so glad I can now say that publicly 😀 I think you will get on with this bike well. Def worth tidying up the damage, be it with replacement parts or a cover... am sure you'll be able to find a second hand cover for the one with the deeper damage. Can't wait to see you ragging it around on track, and seeing you get the spanners out to give it a full once over. I keep seeing the Z900 and Z600 in my local dealership, they are stunning, and I could very much see myself on one if I was in the market.

Happy birthday fella, congrats on the new chariot, looks and sounds real nice. I'm all for retro looking bikes, my dream bike got written off by a red light jumper (Yam XJR1300) now bombing around on a white version of your old CBF thousand (dual exhaust version)

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday mate.

Sweet looking bike! 👍🏽

I am the happy owner of one too. Enjoy It is a sweet ride.

I baulk at the word retro (backwards). The whole labelling culture irritates. It floods social media with people busily labelling themselves. The Kawasaki Z900rs is a bike with all the advantages of the latest tyres, brakes, suspension, fuel management etc. but styled like one of the most iconic motorbikes. Yes I would love to try one and just see how it feels. It has quite rightly become much sought after. I applaud Kawasaki for creating it. I find Honda's CB1100 like the proverbial horse designed by a committee. 1970's rear end, dented tank , spoked wheels and CBX side panels, just a styling abortion. The Z900rs is a great bike and is definitely a looker as well as a performer. Will you get a trackday tank? The problem I have with those mirrors is they are not in your eyeline. You definitely have to look. Happy Birthday ! So how are you going to top this ?🤔 I look forward to seeing your 100 point check. 🛠. Good to see such a happy Gorilla. 👍

Happy birthday 🎉, love your videos. Can you please test ride MTO9 SP? Big community, video will go viral for sure. Thanks

Good for you man, used bikes are the way to go. IMO. Great bike I want one but will not sell my BMW RT, so I will wait a bit to save the cash. Wait for the right used one becomes available. The fees for a new one are ridiculous. Be well. Cheers from California 👍

Such a nice b-day present to get for one's self! :) The Z900RS Cafe was what I almost bought back when I bought my ZX-14R. I was SO close to buying it. It was the lime green cafe bike, too, which is my favorite look for a bike. In a way, I'm glad I didn't, only because it would have been stolen instead of the ZX-14R, and I would have cared a lot more about it's loss (losing the ZX-14R almost crushed me). I rarely go for bling-style things for a bike but, if I was lucky enough to have a Z900RS, I'd look into the OEM hardware and cafe fairing to complete it's look. It doesn't NEED it to be a good looking bike, Kawasaki did a great job on the Z900RS, but with a cafe fairing on, it's pure sexual chocolate. :)

Sure I have one. Also, like you mentioned: mine was a bit 'snappy', nervous on the throttle. Not anymore, after an update. It is by far the smoothest linear machine I have ever ridden. As far as I can see, you have a lot of 'straight' roads where you live, that is a pity. Take this to the twisties and then you even appreciate this machine even more, I tell you. It is a very good looking bike and a dream to ride.

My favourite bike also. Only thing is I’m not one for cleaning my bikes especially to a high standard I just chuck a bucket of washing up liquid over mine when I’ve killed enough flys to fill the bucket. So I don’t deserve a good looking bike. I had an Africa twin for 2 years I cleaned it twice once in the winter and once when I sold it.

Looking forward to seeing more on the fabulous Kawasaki Z900rs love them. I just nip out to the garage look at mine 🎉🎉🎉

From Australia. Have a '21 model and love it too.

Congrats! I got one, too. I think you’d prefer the stock handlebars though … they look to be significantly taller, wider and more rearward than those aftermarkets. Are you on the stock rear shock?….preload cranked up? And happy Bday!

Kawasaki are rock solid bikes.

Congratulation on the purchase! I got a used 95’ Aprilia 6.5 when I turned 40 and decided to handle the mid-age crisis early on by taking to riding again. A few years later I bought 04’ Aprilia Caponord and by then Mrs was already a dedicated pillion. Now that both Aprilias are getting old, I have decided to look for something lighter/smaller with similar power as the Caponord. I am overwhelmed by the Adv looks and decided on the naked instead. I have narrowed down to two models, this Z or BMW R1200R 15’ model. As it stands I am more inclined towards the green matte 18 Z9 for about the same price at the dealers. The reason I am choosing this over the R12 is bcz I dont like the Transformer look and of course the extras in terms of maintenance and upkeeping compared with Kawa. My only concern for now is the engine heat, heard that the RS emits heat quite a bit. Just wondering if this is true? If so how bad it is as I am sure you’d agree most big bikes are heaty. Living in the equatorial zone, this is one factor to be considered IMHO. Other than that I am all set for the 18’ Z900 RS with about 29k km on the odo. It comes with a wind screen and SHAD sideboxes. There’s a couple more in the market with the same classic colour as yours. But the asking prices are higher and i personally like the rugged green look more. I am lazy at cleaning my vehicles, so i know the green one would look more rugged when soiled compared to the chrome ones. So I hope you have been enjoying your bday gift to yourself as I did with my first love, 95’ Aprilia Moto 6.5! Would appreciate your comment (and your kind followers) on the topic of the engine heat, is it bearable. Thanking you in advance before I go down to the capital city to do my probably last purchase of a bike, now that home is bidding farewell and the grave is preparing a welcoming party at late 50s! All i want is to enjoy the last ride and the Zed looks like the right choice. Thanks again Sir.

Lovely bike.

Congrats. Z900RS stock gearing was to short for me. 16T front sprocket made it just right. Removed bread box and tune were pleasing also.

Cheers gorilla congrats! Would you describe how it compares to the FZ6??

Just brought one too and gets delivered on Friday.

Ur wife talks you into a bike and even more an inline4... 😅 Ur a lucky man! 😊 👍 Bel8ed HBD. 😊

Beautiful bike 🙌 Wider bars will help with corners

Great Day

Nice 👌

Where is your microphone when riding? I am astonishing how quiet it is at speed. Your helmet must also be very quiet to not hear much wind noise at highway speed. Nice ride.

when you was doing your srad did you ever have problem fitting the airbox mine w0nt fit flat one end keeps trying pop off.even tried it without the vacuum pipes still same

Wonderful machines. 12k on my 'Jaffa' now, runs like a sewing machine.

So Cool.

I have a 2021 and love it. I owned a 1973 in 1975.

Best of luck with her, my mate has one there lovely you can look at them all day 👍 but I wouldn't buy one not my type of bike only reason 👍

Quote of the day: my ass bones 😂😂. Sounds and looks great.

Ireland ❤

I badly want this bike

How is it compared to the Aprilia Falco? You are now in the USA? How is it there to ride and to live? You have a very good mindset for riding motorcycles. This has gotten very rare in Europe. Your journey from the UK to Germany in very cold weather condition have me more confidence to ride again. A was always riding, but now after a hard injury and with 42 it's time to come down. As I told you in a former video, my Falco is complete modified and it kills my joints. I have a carbon exhaust, so loud, that it is a matter of time, when I get cough from the police. The Falco is the most brutal bike I have ever ridden. But it is not original. Much stronger. I don't like the new assisted bikes. ABS is OK, but not more. You are a true biker... Because I don't greet animore on the roads. I use my old bikes also for transportation. Who else in Europe does this in the northern countrys? I whis you the best

Do yourself a big favor…put the stock bars and mirrors back on. The riding position will be much more comfortable over time.

Made in japan?
