On very long rides, an excessively loud exhaust can get fatiguing. However, on the street, I prefer a nice-sounding pipe that doesn’t attract too much attention from our LEO friends. Truth be told, on the track, I want my exhaust as loud as possible. So yes, it had to go.For the Z900, I had no desire to go the full-system route.
However, “pretty good” just won’t quite cut it at Bike Night with your buddies, as I found. That is to say, it isn’t heinously ugly, and it does have a pleasant and surprisingly throaty exhaust tone. Although it may be a bit squishy on track (I assume), it behaves impeccably when ridden very fast on the street-just my kind of motorcycle.Even the stock Euro-4 compliant exhaust on the Z900 is pretty good compared to some. It all adds up to the Kawasaki Z900 being one of the easiest machines I’ve ever ridden fast. As a result, the Z900 floats firmly across the crappy California roads with ease. The suspension is softly sprung-perfect for the street-yet the damping is firm and quick reacting. The upright riding position and pleasant shoulder-width handlebars ensure a nice fast turn-in without making the bike flop into a corner. The inline-4′ screamer’ motor quickly ramps up and revs to the moon, with a linear powerband to the rev limit.The chassis is exemplary, with neutral, intuitive handling. On the face of it, there’s nothing too special about the Z900, yet somehow Kawasaki got this one right-it’s awesome. It’s a relatively simple recipe for a modern machine-upright naked riding position, inline-4 screamer motor, simple (and now-adjustable) suspension, limited electronics, and basic brakes (ABS became standard in 2020). While that’s not to be sneezed at, in the real world, the Gixxer is so insanely fast that it doesn’t make a very noticeable difference from the cockpit.So do your research first and decide on which way you want to go.The Kawasaki Z900 was launched in 2017 and quickly gathered a loyal following, and you can count me amongst those fans. The S1 slip-on on the GSX-R1000R added about six horsepower to the motor’s output.

For a significant performance increase, you’ll want to go with a full system.
