Z900 Cafe...inline 4 on the Z is meant to be torque laden and butter smooth...so no need to rev the ass off it...no harm in trying.

Tried looking at it on the Kawasaki website. That is a fucking nightmare to negotiate and get info from.

Probably the worse manufacturer website EVER.

It must be designed that way so you say fuck it. I will head to a dealer. :rofl:

And get some weed....
:laugh:

Spooky. :icon_salut:

Been having a look at it on their website. Easier to look at and get spec etc than on Kawasaki site.

Cheers tho bud. Much appreciated.

Quote from: DaveH on July 25, 2018, 11:17:04 PMHad a shot of the R nineT Racer last year at a BMW test day - Tyndrum - Dalmally and back - what a hoot! Throttle more akin to a switch and phenomenal acceleration and engine braking, handled well, just the brakes that could have done with being a little more progressive, felt like they were on a switch too
I'll be test riding a regular R nine T in about a week (and an S1000XR). Looking forward to it. I hope it's even close to this description of the Racer.  :moto:
:cool: enjoy, hope it is, with a marginally comfier riding position the Racer was a more extreme position that I anticipated - long stretch to the low clip-ons

Yeah, that's what I read yesterday. And that the Racer is kinda lower spec than the 'normal' R nine T. The Racer has a conventional fork but the normal R nine T has USDs. The tank is steel on the Racer and aluminium on the R nine T etc. And the Racer is about £2000 cheaper but the engine is exactly the same in both (I think).

Z900 Cafe...inline 4 on the Z is meant to be torque laden and butter smooth...so no need to rev the ass off it...no harm in trying.

Popped over to Kirkcaldy today. Standard RS has bars too high and wide for my liking.

The Green Cafe felt comfortable enough. Demo ride booked for next week  :moto:
