Is the Kawasaki Z900RS the new lord of the retro bike class? Full review here: 👉 bit.ly/2U8hKtT
It has to be one of the most highly anticipated bike to appear at EICMA 2017, with amazing colours including a brown and orange or a matte green. Unfortunately Kawasaki have priced the brown and orange (the original Z900 colours), more expensive at £10,199 compared to the £9,899 in black, 10,099 in matte green.
We were also gutted that we couldn't ride the Cafe version of the Z900RS, as it wasn't ready in time for the launch.
Overall a great modern take on a classic retro motorcycle.

Great review! I started riding in '76- so I'm Kawi's target demographic- and this bike harkens me back to my first Kawi, which was in the same color scheme. Would absolutely love one in my garage. Kawi has knocked this one out of the ballpark- good on them!

@entropede 6 лет назад

I've watched pretty much every Z900RS video on RU-vid and this is definitely one of the most comprehensive ones. Good point about using a higher gear than usual for leaving the curve.

@erniel7689 4 года назад

entropede I put a 16 tooth front sprocket on mine. I highly recommend it.

@AussieKawiman 6 лет назад

Got ours yesterday, What a bike, looks fantastic,rides great and you feel so good jusst cruising on it, A credit to Kawasaki for building a true usable retro bike.Great review as well, Thanks

Aussie Kawiman where in Aus?

@AussieKawiman 6 лет назад

Hi G Sea, we are in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast QLD,Call in for a test ride some day.

@paulmoreton6120 5 лет назад

I just want to compliment Visor Down. I don't use RU-vid much but once in awhile I search motorcycle reviews. Too many of them ramble about, likely because the narrators are ad libbing and they're not particularly skilled at it.. The Z900RS review by Steve Farrell is well-organized, clear, and thorough, and the graphics are very good too. Nice job.

@MikeBikeOriginal 6 лет назад

thank you guys: saved my evening after a shitty day at work. I´m in love with this beauty. Thanks to god it seems to hold up to the expectations provoked by its looks. Price seems justified, except from the differences for color choices. Looking forward to feb./march --- Testride!

@chachim3014 6 лет назад

I like this bike as well. I'm not sure where you are Mike but here in Australia it's on the expensive side at $17,990 ride away. That's more than $3,800 more than the Z900 and $3,500 more than the XSR900. That price would stop me from buying it, so I'm hoping they revise their pricing ;-)

@MikeBikeOriginal 6 лет назад

in germany its about 12,200€, 2800€ more than z900. Its ok considering the upgrades in optic and dampers, but still too much for me. :) XSR900 is much cheaper, around 9500€. But doesnt have the looks. Keep my XSR700 for some more years, brilliant little machine.

@davidhoover2446 4 года назад

I didn't like this bike that much until I drove it in a demo ride. Oh my gosh - it was the most fun bike I've driven in a long time. And that exhaust system they'll put on it for you sounds incredible. The bike has such great road, engine, and brake feel. Everything, especially the engine is immediate. It instantly pulls hard at any RPM resulting in a huge smile on my face. If I had the cash to throw around, I would have bought it right then. I drove pretty much every Yamaha and Kawasaki demo bike and the Z900RS was the most fun.

@oggyoggy1299 2 месяца назад

Yeah, most riders say “ride”, not drove.

@mr1bienvenu1 6 лет назад

This thing is PERFECT ! The bike I've been wanting for 10 years now. I was SO FUCKING tired of bikes that look like something out of a transformer movie.

@mariodesmo 5 лет назад

Love it! I had one of the original Z1's back in the day. It took me to many places and I have many memories of great times on that bike. One memorable is being able to avoid going to jail after being caught by the police going 140mph+ down a long straight, on a Sunday afternoon ride. My buddy and I, both on modified Z1's, just sat there and listened to the officer scream at us for about 30 minutes. We didn't say a word except for, "yes sir" and "no sir" to his rant. I may have to get one of these new Z900's... :-)

@triumphtrianinggroup7773 6 лет назад

just left my deposit! I will have it in 2-3 weeks I picked the black /silver and gold color, man this bike is even more beautiful in person. thank god Kawasaki posted pictures when they did, I almost put money on a indian scout bobber.

@Porsche996driver 3 года назад

They’ve got a silver gray cafe style out this year, looks great. Shad makes some great panniers and top case for touring too. Great mileage for 200+ mile range nice.

@alansmilealot 6 лет назад

Man I love this review, I'm so tired of the typical bro reviews you see on RU-vid. They start to talk about the bike then it's a typical mototvlog....ty

@bigmartin 6 лет назад

Great review, thank you. The engine sounds like you're describing the Z1000 Gen II, not a bad thing. I love the Z1000 with the 4 pipes but I'm also old enough to remember the first Zed owners couldn't wait to put on a 4 into 1 system (Micron was usually the pipe chosen) so I think this present system makes perfect sense. As for the spoke rims, great to look at ~ pain in the ass otherwise. Beautiful bike, great review.

@TwoHawksHunting 6 лет назад

I like the styling of the Z-900. I'm old enough to remember when the original Z-900 changed the game back in 1973. What I don't understand is why after all of these years motorcycle manufacturers still can't seem to make a comfortable seat. Only the touring bikes come equipped with comfortable seats. What's up with that?

@1Mcoach 6 лет назад

Guys, you doing the best reviews! Your fb page is so so, but reviews are great!

@husker68 4 года назад

i ride a 1975 kz 400 its very little brother in candy apple red, but same styling. i love the look can't wait to ride one

@HeadhunterUK007 6 лет назад

What a great looking bike. Also, a refreshing alternative review style, delving deeper into both the bike and its' use case, something I don't see enough of. Well done Visor Down.

@JT-et7ui 6 лет назад

@Idmc12 6 лет назад

Thanks for a brilliant and comprehensive review, guys - Ordered mine TODAY, hopefully picking up in Jan '18... traded in my MT09...

@BMRTV 6 лет назад

Suzuki need to do a bike like this.

@BigChiefWiggles 6 лет назад

This, I started riding on a GS and Ive always wanted another GS but with a modern engine, suspension and brakes.

@WyreForestBiker 6 лет назад

The problem with that is the most iconic Suzuki's of the era were all 2 strokes ... difficult to re-imagine a bike that had an engine that is now defunct .

@BigChiefWiggles 6 лет назад

David Jay I was talking about the old GS550 and the likes, same type of an inline 4 engines with Suzuki styling...

@WyreForestBiker 6 лет назад

I know but the point is if a manufacturer wants to build a modern classic is has to be based on an iconic bike, the reason this bike will sell is that Kawasaki Z 900 /1000 had a legendary status , and therefore it has a ready made fan base . The Suzuki GS range were capable bikes but had no cult following whatsoever . Suzuki's memorable bikes of the era were all 2 strokes ... the GT 750 "kettle" still has a massive following and fetch big money , the GS's ( 400 /550 /750 /1000 ) are nowhere near as sort after and are seen as run of the mill.

@twinwheels4717 6 лет назад

Could do a re-imagined Katana...

@Don-lw4cb 6 лет назад

A beautiful bike, very 70's to look at and all the better for it, a lot of the 1970's bikes still look as cool today as they did then.

@davidj2549 6 лет назад

God looking at that bike brings back memories...can bring tears to the eyes ha ha...I’m getting one. It’s the bike I always wanted when I was a kid. Great review. You basically sold me that bike.

@disekjoumoer 6 лет назад

Absolutely lovely bike that does indeed remind me of my burning desire to own one when I was about 17. That said, while it is definitely by far the best looking retro styled bike on the market today, I'd still rather go with an adventure bike these days.

@barryjmarling 6 лет назад

Beautiful looking bike,sure it will sell in massive numbers.

@garyoliver3898 6 лет назад

Really good, comprehensive review.

@timtravasos2742 6 лет назад

@donshell9358 3 года назад

Thank you for helping me with my research. I just put a deposit down on a '21 x900rs cafe with abs, looking forward to seeing it in the garage next to my '01 zrx1200

@jota3732 4 года назад

Takes me back to looking in the motor bike shop , only wish they could bring back the laverda jota 😢 Would be interested in the z1 with a cafe racer look clip ons etc , etc . Spock wheels is a must

@108padma 4 года назад

Fantastic review. Well researched & knowledgeable, words chosen carefully and no BS. Well done and many thanks!

@BorisW150 6 лет назад

Great video. Yes, I remember these from the '70's when I started riding. Incredible that a new Z1 can be purchased with the beautiful styling of 1970's bikes.

@sugarnads 4 года назад

What a gorrrgeous bike. I bought the Z900 yesterday. Had the rs been the same price ida bought the rs i think.

@johnpowell7342 6 лет назад

@marcdavis2840 6 лет назад

Me too - a credit to Kawasaki for bringing it to market!

@100inthewind 6 лет назад

I had the old original 900. 82 horsepower. Handled terrible. And high speed wobble. Im sure this is much better!

@calcrappie8507 6 лет назад

That's what people forget. My 1982 KZ1000 LTD (95 hp) had some serious wallow in high speed corners. Not pleasant. The modern bikes have MUCH better suspension and handling.

@ausforce1 6 лет назад

Let me be clear , people love this bike beacause of its own merits!!!! Regardless of the Z1 and even if the Z1 had never existed this bike is gorgeous with performance/comfort levels exactly what people want in a street bike ! It stands at the top of the pack on its own without even needing to think about the link to the past. Shut up and take my money KAWASAKI !!! :)

@kushsakhu 6 лет назад

Making a satisfying retro bike says a lot about a bike company, about how it thinks🤔. This says Kawasaki loves❤ and knows bikes. Had I not bought a Triumph Twin speed already, I'd have jumped at one of these. Nice👌🏾.

@northerniltree 6 лет назад

Not mentioned is the substantial weight reduction from the original, coupled with a shorter stroke, higher compression ratio and wider throttle bodies along with a sixth gear makes for not only the reviewed handling differences, but much more aggressive PERFORMANCE. You won't find points, condenser or carburettor on this one. I still ride the original, but am beginning to ponder why. Banzai!

@BucketWheat 6 лет назад

LOVE the Bike! My Brother had one of the '70s KZ900 in the same 'Root Beer' Metallic brown with Gold accents. The Torque being virtually equal makes the few missing HP seem rather unimportant...particularly with the lower 1st gear and higher top gear. That matches my typical riding perfectly! I do an occasional Track Day -- to keep my reflexes and skills sharp, but MOST of my riding is twisty mountain roads in the 30mph to 90mph range. [ I currently ride a 'tweaked' FZ1 that puts about 145hp to the ground (Dyno Tested)] I will miss some of that acceleration, but will gladly exchange that for the comfort and styling of the new RS. But I DO still want some wind protection, so I will probably wait for the Cafe model [ I Also Like the bullet-nose cafe fairings.] or just order the fairing and mounting brackets thru the Parts Department ... and then have the entire bike repainted in the RED color scheme of the 70s with Gold accents... For me, it isn't just the "Retro" factor...but I truly find the riding position and general configuration more pleasant and attractive! I enjoy the performance of my FZ1, and understand the purposes for the shapes and riding position, as it applies to peak Track Performance. But the lower tank height and thicker, more comfortable seat, with a lower seat height as well, could still be easily incorporated into a modern molded frame -- or the 'lattice' frames such as KTM and Ducati -- and still have tremendous styling flexibility for 'modern' bodywork and aerodynamic airflow... If I had the capabilities of a customizer, I would LOVE to modify my FZ1 in just such a way...lowering the rear subframe (seat & tail-section) a bit, and add a thicker more comfortable seat for 'All Day' riding, and re-style the gas tank/air box for a lower overall height, but still include the knee sections and even a shape above the knee that 'holds' my knee in place... That would leave all of my suspension and 'geometry' in place, while actually lowering the center of gravity of my body, AND get my body down out of the wind better at high speed and reposition my spine so my neck doesn't have to bend backward so far in order to see what is in front of me...

@Robert8455 5 лет назад

Good review and beautiful machine from Team Green

@bungfupanda8936 6 лет назад

I like the look of this machine, but I'm concerned by the throttle issue and over sensitive ABS operation as reported in this video. These problems seem to be endemic in modern motorcycles and considering how long those technologies have been in use now it seems that there is very little interest in improving or eliminating throttle snatching. Kawasaki have been building retro machines cashing in on the Z900/Z1 heritage since the early nineties, this is the latest rehash of the same thing. Think I'll stick with my ZRX1200R, after all its a reasonably modern and very capable machine that's a take on the early eightiess Eddie Lawson replica I was desperate to own when I was 18. Kawasaki should consider revisiting the GPz900r as part of their retro programme, the original was even more ground breaking and game changing than the Z900/Z1 and commands and equally loyal fan base, a modern version would be extremely popular in my opinion.

@calcrappie8507 6 лет назад

Use more clutch modulation in 1st gear. You get used to it quick. Versys 1000 is similar.

@tricycle1814 5 лет назад

This seems the perfect bike for riders who like roadsters but are getting to old to get their backs destroyed after each weekend trip (and don't want to switch to daddy's touring bike just yet). Whether you care for retro styling or not.

@levijean1021 6 лет назад

@sybilattack 6 лет назад

@kmac5849 6 лет назад

Had they(Kawasaki)put 4 exhausts on it,they would have Had a best seller.......in my opinion

@winkeemanley1820 6 лет назад

I would fit an aftermarket 4 into 4 exhaust system onto this Z900RS for that real retro look. I had a 1978 Z1000

@MatBettinson 6 лет назад

ooo hadn't noticed that mank front fender mount until you mentioned it. Well I guess that's easy to change.

@jonboy602 6 лет назад

Looks amazing, and sounds like the ride backs it up too. Little bit worried about the jerky throttle comments - journos usually seem to underplay this, so i'm hoping it isn't as bad the mt-09 or others, because it really spoilt that bike for me.

@retro423 6 лет назад

It's a shame that they aren't doing one in Z1b colours

@MrKdr500 6 лет назад

well i'm happy kawasaki used USD forks and radial mounted brakes, it's like a resto mod. The thruxton R looks a lot better than the standard thruxton in my eyes for the same reason. what i don't understand is why it's not the 125hp motor....

@fyorbane 6 лет назад

And that bike has great fuelling.

@nickheinz3737 6 лет назад

The 70's version was a true super bike; this clone is not! All the same; I enjoyed your video. Good job!

@onehellofafisherman9629 4 года назад

Just need to knock the baffles out of the exhuast and it will sound like the old Z900,s with the 4 into one fitted in the 70's

@AlienApe. 4 года назад

Anyone else note the bolt move when the bike was revved at 3.15 in?!

@NDN_FTR 3 года назад

Great video. I can't find accurate HP figures though, I have heard reviews stating 94-111 HP.

@ndperson1 3 года назад

Pretty sure the higher number of 111 or 105 is from the manufacturer at the crank, with the lower one at the wheel

@philippep5924 3 года назад

Est ce que Kawasaki va modifier où arrêter la Z900RS pour 2021 ?

@lr937 6 лет назад

Let me start by saying the bike is gorgeous,no doubt about it, BUT... I went yesterday 09/12 to try the Z900rs in black color .... was in my wish list and had to give it a try so I did...didnt like the riding style of the bike, by that I mean from my point of view, bike is a bit jerky for a everyday city driving, handlebars have a not so easy to get use position, seat is not comfortable at all (and I ride a cbr1000) there is no doubt the bike has the power and torque for a spirit riding but is not definitely a commute bike, too harsh, too jerky, and the brakes u have to squeeze them hard all the time to stop the bike, so to wrap it up, I like the looks of the bike, but ridding just didn't make the cut for me And a bit more about the bike...I have seen some videos where the bike shuts down while driving at normal speed, any comments on that? I test drive it a week ago 09/12, it shut down on its own while going around 45 mph, let go t clutch 3 times cause bike came on and shut down again, that is why had to repeat the clutch releasing more than once Gas at low speeds is choppy as well

@Wabbit1961 6 лет назад

I don't think of this bike as an homage to the 70's version as much as I do think it's a naked Gpz. Case in point the cafe version. The old Gpz came with a bikini fairing basically as well. They were squarish in appearance. Liked that style better, but this thing has a nice ass and that exhaust is beautiful. So ready to drop a SuperTrapp onto...lol. maybe I'll wait till they go on sale. Or get the 1000r instead.

@sportglidejim9001 6 лет назад

Reminds me of my Kz650!!! Hate the radiator, it takes away from the looks. No idea why the radiator is not going down!!!! the frame, stylistically it looks bad but..... I still love the bike😎 Ride hard or stay home

@wristcandy5451 2 года назад

This or the Yamaha GSR? TOUGH CHOICE

@williamdeimos2354 6 лет назад

i hate fake retro bikes, if i wanted an old bike i would buy an old bike, not a new bike playing dress up. But Kawasaki may have found a good balance point with this, its based off a real bike they used to make and it actually looks like a modern bike stripped down to the bare essentials. (Thank god they didn't go with shitty old school suspension.) As cool as all of these new "street fighter" style bikes are, not every standard motorcycle needs to look like a transformer. The only thing i don't like about the Z900RS is the fender struts like you mentioned, and the gauges. in 2018 i think the gauges should either be all digital, or analog tach with digital everything else. The gauges on the RS are there for style, if i only wanted my bike to look cool, id buy a Harley. i like function lol. Those gripes wouldn't stop me buying one though. Really cool bike

@truantray 6 лет назад

Exactly why does it cost almost 4 grand more than the z900?

@visordown 6 лет назад

It doesn't. Z900 is £8,399.

@helideoliveira 6 лет назад

Superior brakes, superior suspension, superior ( and unique) instrumentation, traction control and aged customer targets with more buying power

@nandoGdog 6 лет назад

Wait till it hits the used market.

@MissMan666 6 лет назад

yeah it quite alot more expensive here to than the Z900, like 40% more. But as mentioned, brakes are better, traction controll, more metal - less plastic. But i agree, 40%'ish seems high compared to Z900 being relative cheap.

@okiamhere1 6 лет назад

Z 900 RS or CB 1100 ? Pls suggest

@AussieKawiman 6 лет назад

Definitely the Z9, Feels like a modern bike but looks retro,Rides great and actually handles.But take both for a ride as it is a personal decision. Why not get both??? i wish..

@helideoliveira 6 лет назад

If you wanna ride somewhat sporty or simply value acceleration adrenaline on straight line the Kawa without a blink of doubt. Cause CB 1100 EX is 37 Kg heavier (18%+) and has close to 10% less torque ( 9.3 vs. 10 kgfm) and power (89 vs. 110 HP) and does not handle as easy under any circumstances. However for comfort specially as roadster the CB 1110 is the winner ( upright angle , lower seat hight by 3 cm , wider and cushier seat, gear relations). Now style is a personal choice and branding + or - is a geographical thing and even personal preference. I will buy the Kawa most likely when it becomes available in Brazil and replace the seat for a lower one (I am 5.8 “). But off course if Honda brings the CB1100 I will test ride both before choosing. Right now I have to wait and pray either or both really come!

@fyorbane 6 лет назад

Z900 all the way. The Honda engine is strangulated [despite being an 1100] to a stupid level and is way heavier.

You just read out the text review from your visordown homepage. Sorry but this does not make a nice video review. :-(

@visordown 6 лет назад

Hi Max Power Why not?

@Verknechter 6 лет назад

Too static, no emotion i think. Better comment while driving with onboard cam or while walking around the machine. But maybe just my opinion. Dont get me wrong, i like your content, especially your homepage. I just think, instead of watching the video i could also read the review while watching a trailer of the bike.

@mike1045 6 лет назад

Yeah, it's kind of like when you're listening to a presentation and the person is just directly reading off a piece of paper in they're hand. It's hard to stay engaged.

@07zx14White 6 лет назад

Hahahaha, you speak honest facts man! Now the metrosexual/cisgender sagging skinny jean tight flannel neck beard version of hairy bikers have killed the beautiful retro bike scene. Calm down everybody ok. They are just words. They are only offensive if you allow them to be or you're constantly looking to find offense. I have a few younger friends like this and they hear the same thing from me. If you can't rip your friends then forget about it.

Yes but most under 30 types think that they were born to not be offended. I'm of Polish decent, I was offended on a daily basis but somehow did well in life. I guess having thick skin helped.

Thank goodness Kawasaki have had the common sense to re-work one of these pig-ugly modern bikes into something much more graceful reminiscent of a bike from their golden age. Let the Good Times Roll indeed!

Amen!!! Those modern bikes aren't a little out there, they're waaaaay out there. It's like they're trying too hard. Gald for the return to simplicity with the modern underpinnings.

nothing like the z1

@truantray 6 лет назад

Which is why they named it the z900, not the Z1.

@visordown 6 лет назад

It's influenced by the Z1. A Z1 re-imagined as a modern bike.

@alanbstard4 6 лет назад

i know, that's the problem. would have preferred old z1 copy, like Triumph has brought back the Bonnevile

Alan B'Stard M P : I see your point , I almost bought the T120 but I prefer the much superior handling , lower weight and night ability to ride hard/safe with superior headlights than otherwise

@alanbstard4 6 лет назад

well, no. The original z900 came out in 1976
