PowerDrift ✋ Hi-Fi
PowerDrift does the production of Z800 stopped ?
due to new Z900
@Sarang: What do you think about the bike?
@Febin: Yes, the Z900 has replaced the Z800.
@Jaseel: Thank you so much for the kind words and the wishes! :D
The man who edited the video should get a chance to Hollywood!!!!
Ha ha ha ha that's quite some compliment!
Thanks buddy!
U mean cinematographer?
explaining with one hand away from handlebar during a corner(0:58)... Commitment level 1000 !!
Now you are no longer a channel you are a brand now!
That's a big compliment, Nishanth! Thank you so much! :D
CZcams should add a heart button for PD videos.
Sigh, maybe you can smash that share button for now!
PowerDrift done that 😎

Sarge with Big Bikes + Lavasa = Fascinating Combination !
Haha! Looks like somebody's reminiscing the good ole days! ;)
Good old days ❤✌
Indeed
OUTSTANDING!!!! Your videos are like those addictive TV Series One must watch to see if he wants to live haha!!
Haha! Our videos might not be necessary for survival but you can watch them to satiate the automotive enthusiast in you! ;)
PowerDrift Hahaha!! Yes Man!! But they are Really Really Awesome.
5:07 Toothless in da house!
@Haunie Rymbuii its varun painters z800 he calls it toothless.
That was "top gear" quality that vid..... awesome
Thank you so much for the kind words, Paul! :)
product quality is through the roof!!
Lamb Chop Rides lamb chops watching Powerdrift 😍😍😍
Have been hooked on your bike reviews ever since the Triumph Dayton 675R! Keep on producing great content!
Owshua@ that is one of the awesome video you could watch.
That one is my favourite too !
Thanks Owshua, We are glad you all have stuck around and are helping us reach out to more people!
More fun content coming up!
Still don't understand how you guys only have
With the support of the #PDArmy, we shall surely have more! You can also share the videos with your friends who haven't yet subscribed! :D
Hey bro its a million more now 😎
legends said if you are early on PowerDrift they will reply
Hello Mohammed! :D What do you think about the bike?
Mohammed Kohari legends have not shared the complete info my friend. They reply whenever they can. Doesn't matter early or late. They love their army 🤘.
that's true
bike is nice but to be honest i m not a kawasaki fan
Night shots! you guys just nailed it. I feel like owning every bike you guys ride. What to do my calculator has limit of only 6 digits ;)
I am very inclined to buy the z900 but the things that stop me is the exclusion 3-4 things
1. TCS - this is almost a litre class bike and TCS is very much a necessity considering the power it has.
2. Ride-by-wire throttle. Not a necessity but should be a nice addition considering that this bike is almost 10 lacs.
3. LED headlamps and indicators. Comon Kawasaki....even Honda Activa has LED headlamps. This is the least to expect from a high-end bike like this.
I love the size and form of the z but these are a few required things that should be expected from a premium bike like the Z900. Hopefully we will get those in the 2019 version till then my inclination is towards Street Triple S. I don’t want to because the Triple doesn’t feel like a big bike. All it has is good sound else I wouldn’t even notice it on road. Triple has negligible road presence compared to the Kawa.
Congrats @powerdrift, powerdrift officially trumps the legendary Autocar India in terms of subscribers. Had been waiting for this moment.
Cheers guys, keep surprising us. ☺️
Thanks Bethel Jewel Jacob.
Next up, the big milestone :)

you're one lucky fellow Mr.Sagar
and I love your team editing and background music
If having an insanely awesome #PDArmy with us is being lucky, then yes, we surely would like to be! :D
looking forward to motivational video for bikers from your channel #PDArmy
Powerdrift videos are like watching hollywood videos.
Hats off to the cameraman
Its all an amazing team effort. glad PD army is enjoying these!
Always been a silent spectator soaking in all the good stuff. But now i speak for, i no longer can contain my praise for PD. #pdarmy.
Thank you so much Deepak! We would love to hear more from you on our upcoming videos as well! :D
doesn't look as good as the z800, but looks like its a better bike now😉
So do you like this one better than the Z800?
Z800 is more sharper i agree but the Z900 is overall a much better bike than it.
beauty is truly through in the eye of the beholder, i Prefer the looks of the new Z900 a trellis frame is much more nicer to see than a bunch of plastic. it's the big bug lookalike front headlight that i'm still not convinced into.
i want power and comfort+handling... which one should i go for z900 or street triple s plus i wanna knw tyre specification
of z900
hit like for Sargeant!!!
And share if you like the video too! ;)
Finally an Indian Channel with some great editing and shots! Awesome stuff!
With that weight and power it's a roll on wheelie monster now.. and a perfect riders bike!
unbeatable presentation. oh my god. good teamwork powerdrift. u r the best..........u make it like a z900 movie.
crazy cinematography #PDArmy !!!
awesome
Glad you enjoyed it so much, Sarthak! Do remember to share it! :D
i really a fan of your ways of presentation
you have the spirit of a new rider that has anxiety over every new bike that he gets to ride this simple element makes you good at this😍
Man @PowerDrift team 5 years ago was an amazing team. Bring back this passionate team back
The FX, the editing, the cinematographer and of course the review is TOP NOTCH! PowerDrift never disappoints.
Great review, awesome production quality.
I bought one 3 weeks ago.
Gods I love it. The power delivery, the seat comfort, the beautiful handling, the economy, the top end i havent explored (its only done 500kms).
I may go up a tooth or two to lengthen the gearing, and perhaps a 2 inch spacer on the handle bars to lift them juuust a touch, and i do prefer thicker grips (a lot thicker - these are hurting my hands) but otherwise...and the pricing is amazing.
Weirdly i havent seen another on the road yet.
🇦🇺👍🏿🇦🇺👍🏿
Hey, congratulations on the new motorcycle, comrade!
PowerDrift you blokes do some high quality stuff.
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🇦🇺
u should do a comparison video between the z900 and the street tripple 765
+Ayush Govekar That would be really interesting, wouldn't it?
PowerDrift yes!!
100%. will be waiting for it eagerly..
what about 2017 ducati monster 821??
Great of u guys to promote safety gear at the end of the video..its a must specially on such a powerful beast #ATGAT
would love to see the trio battle between z900 vs triumph triple vs Ducati monster !
+SHAWEZ MOHD Stay tuned!
+SHAWEZ MOHD Stay tuned!
would be eagerly waiting for that :) !
awesome presentation again from PD and your sponsors are so lucky to have their brand in your videos 👍👏
After a long time a great review from powerdrift.. Keep up with your reviews the same way you did this review.. Great work guys..
Its a treat that such conent , precisioned reviews are available free of charge thank you #pd for such amazing content i wont mind even if this was pay per view
0:47 classic PD shot... luv it
Involuntary headbanging at 00:48. One word Sarge, Goosebumps! Kawasaki owe you guys millions.
Here's more music for you, Ahmed - czcams.com/video/fFP4pns_Zkc/video.html
love you PD army... sagar sheldekar your just awesome... you are role model for Indian motorcyclist ... hats of you ...👍
Much love Suyog, and thanks for the kind words!
"legs so far apart that you very well could be giving birth ".... sarcasm at its peak level.....lol :)
guys please release your videos around 7-8 , coz most of the people will be in their home as it's kills my head that there is a video notification from you guys and I can't watch till I go back later.. everything I do till the time I watch your video from now will not be productive in my work....ahhhh
Neat suggestion Nikx! And sorry about the distraction! :P
Great review, just bought one and am super satisfied. (the black with the green frame)A little older now, so the more aggressive riding position of the Super Sports is no longer the end all. This is much more comfortable on long rides, especially with someone on the back. It's a great bike for a bigger guy and doesnt skimp on performance.
Congratulations on the new bike Jon! :D
There's NOTHING that I have enjoyed in CZcams as much as PowerDrift's Videos. The Video Quality, the apt information, Lighting Setup, BGM, Oh My MY. GREAT JOB! God bless you Guys.
Something which PD got really wrong and makes people think the other way round is the ex-showroom price, I recently got one for 7.68 lakhs showroom price, extra accessories which you can choose, frame sliders, screen, spools, radiator guard, etc etc which depends on what the customer chooses, I chose only the radiator guard, tank pad and fly screen, the final price of the bike is at around 8.30laks includes insurance, temp reg, excluding permanent reg. So what im trying to say is, dont just blindly make people listen to whatever you guys are saying, i know for a fact that you like the Street Triple more than the Z900, I respect that, but please dont come to conclusion and showing false facts to us viewers. Peace!
The pricing mentioned in the video is the ex-showroom, Delhi price, on that date. This is the pricing information as declared by the manufacturer. There are a lot of factors that affect the pricing of the vehicles.
yes but, that 7.68lakhs is the same ex-showroom price pan India.
I really really want to thank that "one person" or that team, who is making PowerDrift way better than other automotive channels - direction, music, editing with a bunch of great information and advice. Iam buying this beast soon.
That Team (and the extended team - PDArmy) should be apt. Who else would push us to do better eh ;)
this is the best video ever from pd , the best background score ever ...
"Unlike the tank on the Z800 with your legs spread so far apart you very well could be giving birth" 😂😂😂
Simply awesome 👌🏻
How do you come up with such lines ??
Sometimes, the word "fuck" can say a lot. This is one of those times... OH MY FUCKING GOD, YOU GUYS ARE ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!! Forever a PD fan!
PD going the Motorcycle USA way ? Showing off the riding gear!! Love to see reviews of the riding gear soon..
+charan cherry Well, many of you have been asking us about the gear!
Yeah, but would you guys consider making comprehensive reviews?
Sagar u r jus awesomeness dude!!!! Such respect for you and your team!! I wud like to share my opinion on the incredible job u guys r doing. That is all the bikes u have reviewed so far u have been very generous on the positives of the bike. I wud like to hear some criticism as well. Like in this video u compared the street triple and the z900 where u mentioned only abt the price comparison. But I guess character wise both bikes are different. Also I heard the z900 suspension is on the stiffer side. So I wish in the review you include the downsides as well. Keep doing the great job guys. And I wish you people grow. Seriously there is no other motorcycle channel in CZcams which is awesome as urs!!
Sagar Sheldekar no worries bro!!! Thanx for the reply and keep doing amazing videos!!!!
Just found this video.. again. Amazing work guys.. I wonder why you guys no longer make those top music videos.. would love to see one featuring this bike #PDarmy
I rode this yesterday, it was nothing like the z800! 😍
The power omgg 💚💚
Would just go for it hands down 👻
I always enjoy your guys videos, and while I have alot of other options I tend to watch yours from the mid west of the US
Love all your vids thank you for posting. I am 6' tall and this Bike fits me perfect Just picked a left over 19 last week. LOVE IT!!!
As always outstanding review
I think there is no such channel like powerdrift
Best editors
Best riders
Best host
Its #pdarmy
+King Patil Thank you so much for your lovely compliments!
Believe me, I'm in love with this bike ❤😘
I must appreciate the editor for showing outstanding skills.
at high speed cornering , is pushing the bars to countersteer better than lean and pull??
An year old video but still watching the intro gives you goosebumps 😘
Us too ;)
Wooot!!! Was looking forward to Kawasaki Z900.
also I'm super glad that Kawasaki is officially opening a exclusive store in our City of Mangalore.
We hope you have enjoyed the video. Will you be getting this bike, comrade?
I wish my math lessons could sound as sweet as the bike's roar. A video of epic proportions 👍🏽
Was eagerly waiting for the Z900 review. Actually im planning to get one on august 1st week but really very confused between Street Triple & Z900. Your suggestion would be really appreciated.
I have loved every background score of the vids especially Daytona review has adrenalin rushing music. LOVE
THE EDITING AND THE EFFECTS ON THIS ONE IS LIT AF
Nice work pd. let me knw which is better if triumph rs street triple is available as compare to z900?
Someone needs to give sarge a medal for just being sarge....
PD besides your extraordinarily talented hosts you've also got one of the best camera crew and editing team on this planet! Mostly people don't notice but it takes a hell lot of imagination, skills and efforts to produce such amazing videos which are no less than a piece of art!!
Cheers to Camera and editing teams!!🙌
Thank you so much for the kind words, Jyotiraditya! They make our team smile wide! :D
PowerDrift Cheers!! Just keep making such mesmerizing videos. They are as addictive as a rave drug! 😁
Thank you :)
PowerDrift can I know all the music used for this beautiful video ?
Hands down presentation. It's other worldly good.
Thank you so much for the compliment Karan! :)
Once again Power Drift another brilliant review, you are definitely the best motorcycle magazine on you tube, well done....
Great review as always. Love those minimal captions with the +. Superb editing!
Hey thanks Chetan! Hope you have shared the video too! :D
Beautiful video! Great job guys.
Very good review! I am looking at the z900 for a next bike.. love the green, however I am torn between this and a sports bike e.g zx6r or gsxr750. decisions..
Well, if you like riding on the track, the sports bike should be better but this would be more comfortable to ride in the city! :)
Thanks for the reply! you produce some great videos!, The z900 is definitely an eye catcher it would need a bubble screen for motorways, being 6'2 the ride position is perfect with the higher bars similar to my dad's z1000sx, decisions just a shame the new ninja 650 doesn't have much power looks a nice overall bike
Outstanding .... you gents are brilliant. Love that you guys are back at Lavasa. I'm still after Sagar's old helmet though :-p
+Naveen Vajja Your kind words are much appreciated! Sagar's Helmet is stored in a place much safer than Fort Knox! :P
your reviews are really awesome, can you guys at powerdrift please review Harley Davidson Roadster .🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇
@powerdrift love it....superb ....visual treat and then there's the the z900
Loved the video and the video quality is the best in India as always.
Your reviews are always detailed.
And btw i prefer street triple.
u guys prepare stunning reviews..really appreciable..thumps up to ya
love watching power drift so much they explain slowly and easy to understand
"ye daddy ka bike hain" my 2 yr old daughter always ask whenever i watch powerdrift videos. 🤣
Awesome work again guys, with keeping us up to date with the new launches. Cheers PD!
Thanks Shreshtha! Cheers! :D
It'd be great to see a comparison with the new triple.. Wow what an exciting time to be alive. Love your channel guys keep the good work going
At 1:15 that sound... :' ) They should name this after some rattle snake.....!!!!!!!!
Did I just watch Sarge cornering with one hand while explaining the figures... ??
What's more badass than that fellas, what is!
If I had to choose between the z900 and the street triple s which one do you suggest?
The Z900 is more powerful and expensive than Street Triple but the Triple gets more electronic aids. It would have to depend on what you want in your bike - more electronics or more power.
Give this cameraman an oscar🔥🔥🔥🔥 he deserves it
Maanhhh .. power wheelies are so awsome to watch😍 hats off to the people behind the camera. Try to shoot it in more day light😂
Where do you guys get your music from?
I need to know !! Love it ✌️
WOW GREAT JOB PD👍🏻
Your Review Like Hollywood Movies🤙🏻
Can u compare this bike with the new z1000? Its only around 50cc less. I really look forward to that kind of comparison. Really like all of your bike review videos.
This done in last month 26th at Lavasa....????...with a Ford Figo as camera crew.....???
Far ahead than those Kawasaki original TVC.... we are so fortunate and lucky to have PD in India ... mark my word PDarmy will be worlds no.1 soon ...love ya
Awesome job.. waiting for the street triple!
Watching Powerdrift and Sagar sir
well,
Going into another dimension.!
PD love😍😍
Sagar, you are one hell of a presenter, and your editing team does an excellent job portraying that.
Thank you so much for the kind words comrade! :D
When are you guys doing a comparison video on Kawasaki z900, Triumph street triple s and ducati monster 797
Your videos makes my day. Sagar Bhai , I love the way you ride bikes . I wish if I could learn riding like you. Keep up the good work !😄 .
Such compliments from you guys make our day! :D You can enrol in a riding school to improve your riding techniques! :D
You guy's reviews are amazing! What a video. Kudos to #powerdrift!
Thank you so much Arsh! Do share it with your friends as well. :)
Now, this review brings back the memories of the very first review that I saw from #PowerDrift and instantly fell in love with #Sarge and #PowerDrift......... #Daytona..... Goosebumps raised..... Same location and the presentation is absolutely spot on....... And lastly would like to mention that would love to see the shootout..... #Z900 vs #StreetTripleS
We really appreciate your kind words Debanjan and are glad that you enjoyed this video too! We have the shootout on the cards, do remember to stay tuned! :D
Are there any buddies out there,Waiting for full review video from powerdrift of beautiful 2020 kawasaki Z900..
