    Hi all, on a spur of the moment decision I decided to sell my Tiger 800 XCa and buy the Z900RS from Jordan’s in Leeds. I bought it purely online with a decent video done by the sales guy and it was love at first sight sorry about my ugly mug but was really unwell when it was delivered this Saturday.

    I like those! And that colour is gorgeous in person :heart_eyes: I wish Triumph would do some proper colour schemes on their roadsters!

    Very nice too, as for your ugly mug I wouldn't worry about it, I've seen far worse in the mirror. :(
    Enjoy that 900.

    Very nice. Here in the states, that paint is only on the 50th anniversary edition with gold wheels.

    If I did not have triumphs I would have one of those z900rs bikes. That bike looks awesome with the gold wheels.

    Enjoy that Kawi, Andy! It looks great. :heart_eyes: Give us your thoughts on it when you're feeling better and get out on the road with it.

    When I bought the Tiger the Z900RS was my very close second choice, part of me wishes I bought the Z9 first but if that happened I would have never experienced what a great bike the Tiger was, yes I had issues in the beginning but that was purely the rubbish the dealer made and not the fault of the Tiger, still my Tiger is up north now with a dealer in Leeds so if anyone buys a Rossi Red Tiger soon send me a PM and we can compare reg numbers.

    Everyone should be able to have 2 bikes. I ride a 1200 Explorer but would also love a Z900.

    I loved the original back in the day - they made a great effort there. Have fun with it!

    I think Kawasaki played a blinder with the 900RS. The looks of a legend, the Z1 with better handling and braking. What's not to like!

    A lot more power too, I took one for a test ride, it’s a quick bike, I liked it but not quite enough to buy one, great bike all the same, I took the Z650rs out as well and although it’s nowhere near as quick I actually preferred it, so once they become available 2nd hand in 6 to 12 months or so I’ll very likely buy one

    Sweet ride. They are the first decent looking Jap "Retro" and great colour scheme too. Enjoy!
