Anyone have input here?
I’m trying to decide which I like, yammie noob had a cool vid comparing the two with the xsr seemingly on top, but spec-wise, the z900 should be wild. I’m aware there are tune and exhaust kits to wake the undertuned z900 up.
I like spirited riding, but mostly on straights as I roar off to a campsite in the mountains. What do you folks think?
Both are pretty great, can’t go wrong with either. Personally is go with the Z900RS cause I like the sound better and it has a bigger gas tank.
P.S. Yammie Noob is a real dickhead.
Ah, good point on the tank. I like the style of the z900, matches my current UJM a bit better.
What happened with yammie? I don’t really follow any channels besides fortnine.
-
He’s fired someone and made a video about it. Yammie deleted the original video because everyone trashed it so much.
-
He crashed into some guys Porsche while riding on the wing side of the road while his licence was suspended.

Dude is just a talentless hack. I remember watching a video he did about how to get a bike into the back of a pickup then later noticed he did the same exact video like a year ago. Then noticed he does that a bit, he’s just not very creative and is out of ideas.
Jeez. That guy “spite” & the lady are who actually did the z900rs vs xsr900 review, yammie just cameos uselessly a few times.
I never really liked their channel anyway, so thanks for the heads up.
I know about #1 and #3 (Spite has his own channel now) but never #2. Proof of that one? He seems to ride a lot more responsibly than lots of motorcycle channels (Gixxer Brah, etc.)
Source. Maybe he wished up after multiple crashes.

I don’t like either much but if I had to choose I’d go with the Yamaha. Bear in mind I don’t like egos on most sport bikes I’m more a dirt/naked/adv guy.
I’m currently on a naked UJM from the 80s, which I love but there’s been a lot of improvement in bikes over the 40+ yrs since she was built.
I’m leaning towards the z900rs, but people are really bigging up the cp3 it seems.
I owned a 2019 z900rs. My buddy owns an xsr900. The xsr feels like a modern street bike. The z900rs feels like a classic Kawasaki Z, with a shitload more power and traction control.
Both feel sleepy once the retro novelty wears off. I traded the Z for a street triple.
Thanks for the comment, kinda looking for a more powerful ujm. Street triple looks cool too.
