My problem with the Z900Rs is the price. I buy Japanese bikes because they offer value. I can get equal performance for less, however, with the Z900rs I don't get more for less. It's priced right up there with triumphs, victory's ect. Why is that a problem? Well if you look at the resale value of a Japanese bike compared to say a Triumph, you quickly realize that buying the Kawi at this price is equivalent to simply throwing money away.
