Z900

Post by Dodgy69 »

These are definitely growing on me. Fitting into that 'mid size with plenty' category. I prefer the sharp modern styling rather than the rs style. Colours are good. It's a box ticker. 👍

Anyone had a go. ???

If it’s engine is based on the old 9R you’ll want a wee within about 20 minutes of starting a ride.

Other's have said before, with all the bike choice we have these days, there isn't many I fancy to be a Tracer replacement for my multi use tasks and sensible budget.
But we're always looking. 👍

It's visually a mini ZH2 and the looks will divide opinion.

The only thing that really matters is you like it,why spend money because someone else likes it?

I went for the Z1000 rather than the Z900 or the ZH2,but I love the looks of them all,that angular modern Sugomi thing does it for me.

I don't like the looks, but they're a good bike, suspension is a bit bargain basement, but it's a £9K bike not a £20K bike

I don't see many bikes carrying pillion nowadays,so maybe the small seats on a lot of bikes reflect that trend.
I haven't carried a passenger in many years,I don't even bother with that option for insurance.
