  • In this episode l test ride a 2018 Kawasaki Z900RS. Wow Wee!! What a motorcycle. This retro looking bike is one of the best motorcycles I've ever ridden. It appearance is sensational. This is the only motorcycle I've ever ridden and been absolutely satisfied with the sound of the stock exhaust. If l had to pick a dislike, it'd be the mirrors. I get why they're designed like that. They are a throw back to the original 70's version of this motorcycle. Wow! What a machine!

    I saw this bike in the Jaffa colour scheme in UK Motor Cycle News when it was about to be launched, rang the local dealer gave then a £1000.00 deposit long wait for delivery, never tried one and absolutely loved it from the moment it was delivered. Its a keeper! Great video, love the excitement that comes across in this video. well done!

    I'm a yank, and I think it's a piece of rolling retro art.
    But I'm old and fat.
    Have have been riding on the street since 1982.
    On the dirt before then and still do.
    Oh, and I pick up my jaffa zed in 2 days...
    7th bike in my shed, 5 off road, a 96 Harley, and now zed in the shed...

      OLD and FAT, seriously? I have been riding since 1969! You have a lot of time. If your fat, you can change that.... I did!

    I loved it from the moment I saw it in a magazine Christmas 2017. However, I recently test rode it. I found I liked looking at it, more than I did riding it. That may be because I'm coming off of a Tourer of 12 years and didn't find the 110km highway speed very enjoyable. Think I've been ruined for life having a faired, screened tourer. Loved it, loved it, loved it in the traffic and around town but not for me long term unfortunately. I am 'mature aged' and perhaps can't relive my youth. Oh well. Keep looking for a replacement for the big tourer. A very cool bike nonetheless.

    • @SckippyDee
      @SckippyDee  Před 5 lety

      Yep, that’s completely understandable. Thanks for watching. Cheers 👍

  • @broncocarter439

    Great review. This one is definitely on the wish list but it’s hard to justify the extra cost over the “modern” Z900. Especially when it’s mostly looks that seperate them. They’re both great bikes. But I suppose you only live once.

    • @SckippyDee
      @SckippyDee  Před 5 lety

      Bronco Carter I agree 100%. But it’s very tempting. Thanks for watching 👍

    • @MissMan666
      @MissMan666 Před 5 lety

      i agree, its a tad to much. At least suspension, electronics and brakes are all upgraded compared to the Z900.

  • @bif90210
    @bif90210 Před 5 lety +1

    Does it cruise well in 5th gear? No vibrations there?

    • @SckippyDee
      @SckippyDee  Před 5 lety

      I found this motorcycle to have a very smooth engine. Loved it. Thanks for watching. Cheers 👍

  • @edvanloon
    @edvanloon Před 5 lety

    Just saying you get traction control, fully adjustable suspension on the front plus a few more things and well worth the extra $$

      I'm a touring cruiser riding Yank, and this WILL be my next bike (with some Doremi custom touches such as from chrome fender, 4 into 4 exhaust , touring seat, and grab rails, and windscreen). Love it.
