Riding the 2022 Kawasaki Z900rs. This thing is quick!!!

This is my first Kawasaki that I've reviewed. I wasn't sure what to expect as it's been a long time since I've even sat on one. I was pleasantly surprised. I like that it's a light/middleweight bike and very easy to handle. It's quick off the line and the throttle is sensitive with an easy clutch release. The dual throttle control helps with this a bit. This one is super fun around town and in stop and go as well. I really thought at speeds between 70-80mph on the freeway that it would vibrate or feel a little rough but not at all. It was very smooth at higher speeds and I think I'd do 100-150 miles before needing a break on this bike. Of course you should probably stop for gas at that point anyway. The retro look is nice and I like the color scheme. As Kawasaki celebrates 50 years with the Z Line, I'm really glad they put this bike on the market. I think it's a very fair price for what you're getting.

A big thanks to Kawasaki for letting me take this out. Click on the link below for more information and pricing.
