What do you think about the #KawasakiZ900? Would you consider buying it as your first big bike? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
This is my 3rd year ownership review of Kawasaki Z900 2021. I bought this Superbike on 3rd March 2021. As on today the 2nd March 2024 I have completed 27300 kms. As Japanese stands for relailibilty and refinement. This bike is no exception. Till date absolutely no issues apart from general wear and tear parts like brake pads and tyres. What is good! 1. Good milage of 18 Kmpl overall. ( Highway 22-24). 2. Fantastic top speed of 250 kmph. (My best 222kmph) 3. Rock solid reliability no issues whatsoever. 4. Amazing heat management. 5. Fantastic pick up, wheelie machine. 6. Torque throughout the rev range. 7. Refined in line 4 engine. What is not good! 1. Hard suspension not good for bad roads. 2. Worst rear seat comfort. 3. Average brake bite compared to superbike standards. Maintenance and running cost of Kawasaki Z900 in 3 years. (27300 kms odo). 1. Total Fuel cost = 1516 liters = Rs 1.65 Lakh. 2. Total full 6 services cost = 1.04 Lakh. 3. 2 Pairs of Veridestian Tyres = 52k. 4. Own damage insurance for 3 years = 45k. 5. Washing detailing Amt spent in 3 years = 15k approx. Total running and maintenance cost for 3 years Rs 3,81,000/- This roughly translates to 1,27,000/- per year. Verdict I am super satisfied with Kawasaki Z900. Very difficult to pick negatives. Its amazing value for money superbike. Fantastic all rounder, you can have Super fast Sunday rides or take it for touring without having wrist or back pain, cruise at 110kmph or rocket off to 200+ in few blinks, For 12lakh budget nothing comes close to this Japanese beauty. Very reliable. You wont let it go but may add supersport for fun beyond 250kmph, if you have sufficient vitamin M.
Just keep aside 12k per month for maintenance and riding the bike for 750kms per month. Unless God forbid there is a crash and u just have 3 party insurance then people get screwed. Spare parts cost 3 times more than what u get on a brand new bike.
Why the z900 is the bestseller while the z900rs is a non-seller😂😂........ Kawasaki has shown us both ends of their pricing spectrum....... between the 2 siblings.....
First of all, congratulations for the new job, or rather should I say new Employer. Lovely video as always. How does the low ground clearance hold up on Mumbai roads? And would you recommend looking at Street Triple as well to someone who is looking for a bike in this segment mainly for touring?
@@sumeetghai8867 love how you say his erratic buying is harming nature. Actually his erratic buying doesn't. Because weather he buys it or not the bike was already manufactured. It already created value that paid the bills for hundreds of people before he even saw it. He can't ride all of them at one time. On another note you are also polluting the earth by just existing and using up resources in a country with a population larger than China. Hes contributing to the country's economy and it's people by allowing his money to participate in the creation of and rotation of wealth that directly and indirectly contributes to the sustenance of those that are benefited. So should you be considered a pest ,since I see it like that , without ever having met you. ❤
the crazy thing is about these videos that they are talking just about the good things and never really tell whats bad about the bike bc they are sponsored by companies. I tell you one thing bc i owned this bike. Its miserable to sit on it, after one hour yor back is in agony. it has the lowest seat of all the middle naked bikes. Consider that before you buy it.
The reason why it sells a lot coz it's the cheapest one with over 100+ BHP....I tested one for some time, the engine was sooooo smooth which literally made it bland and charoctotles.
Charoctotles? 😏 It's not a very exciting bike to ride but it's an easy to ride bike and the best power in its class. It handily outsells the competition in India at least
@@brendonfernandes2877 ...it is a bland engine...the only reason why it out sells everything is coz it's the cheapest and most powerful you can get....
@@abymathew295Whats the definition of a bland engine? You keep using this word a lot. Should it have lots of vibes to give it 'character' as you call it?

Kawasaki is like Apple. Itne me hi kaam chal raha hai to aur extra kyu add karein. Aapna fanbase already hai market me, upar se chapri o ki to kami hai nhi. Rehne do naya features add karne ki koi jarurat nahi. Ek kaam kar sakte ho, naya colour scheme introduce karke price increase kar do.
Kawasaki is so not Apple. Apple is super expensive and uses super expensive components. Kawasaki uses much simpler components and is cheaper than the competition. You want bells and whistles you should get a Ducati but they will charge you for that. And for your information the 2019 Z900 had a LCD display, halogen lights and no TC. The 2020 update saw new TFT display with Bluetooth, led lighting, riding modes and TC. So they did add more stuff to what is the cheapest mid capacity naked bike in the market today
I am really confused about what bike i should buy this zx6r or this z900. I like the seating position of zx6r but this has more linear power rather than screaming
Kawasaki z900 is great but overhyped now by moto vloggers.. z900 got power inline 4 cyl engine and more power than a mt09 still 2017 mt 09 was equipped with more aids than a 2023 z900 .. and win a drag over z900 with less power and m inli83 engine but lighter in weight taking advantage of p/w ratio.. + more fun 2 ride the new mt09 2023 bumped up to +6 hp making it 119hp toral and 90+nm torque with 190 something weight and z900 got more power around 124 hp +5 hp extra but over 200kgs weight
This is the bloody problem with the internet. People with half baked knowledge start spewing specifications. Why don’t you elaborate on what all “aids” the MT gives which a pro rider “like you” cannot survive without. This stupid Indian mentality is what’s wrong with our riding community. Whether one needs or not, the thing at hand needs to have 20 features.
The price of mt09 was really justified. I am telling you every bike from yamaha is always better than kawasaki across any lineup. From 150cc to 1000cc yamaha is making better bikes than kawasaki. And on top of that, they are number one in the reliability even better than Honda. It's crazy that yamaha always been ignoring indian market with their big bikes.
What makes baffles me is that they still don't sell this with splash guards, our roads are trash and keeping the hot parts of the bike clean is important
@@haliltaylan6181 India is a small market (relatively speaking) for big bikes. We have most of the Kawasaki and Ducati line up but that's about it. Suzuki and Honda has just a few models for sale and Yamaha has zero big bikes just the R3 and a few commuters.
@@haliltaylan6181Yamaha doesn't sell anything more than the R3 in India. Only Kawasaki, Triumph, BMW and Ducati have most of their international models in India. Honda, Suzuki have a few models but most aren't available in India
