Yes you're right. The z900rs is CBU so that explains the price disparity.

its the norm, other brand retro version more expensive,

example xsr700/900 , z650rs etc

On that note, the xsr900 is not sold officially in MY i suppose?

Wow… actually if got all this. It’s very the good.

For that price then it's good value without going for chinese bikes.

Now icing on the cake would be cornering abs but I'm just being greedy

For your info, that info on Kawasaki website is bullshit. That's not the real features on the Z900 or SE.

The last 2 is not cornering-abs related tech?

nah, dont think they offered it with these... just traction control and abs (i think)

IMU, yes if it combined with other systems. Also KCMF.

does the electronic throttle valves mean is ride by wire correct ?

ya definitely dont have QS lol

only can dream hlym will sell it.
but grey market oredi manage to sell a few here.

in other market/ countries the price is always more for retro version.

The SE have much better package for the extra price.

I suppose if it shares the same parts as mt09 then should be ok i guess

The new TFT screen looks good. Suddenly the v1 z900 looks very unappealing. Even Z800 looks better imo. For the price even the standard is a winner. SE is just a bargain for the Ohlins and Brembo.

I just wonder how big a difference from the Nissin to the Brembo

Both very good, feels different. Brembo is more expensive to maintain.

not only about brand comparison

one is axial mounted and another is radial mount. the feel should be very different.

yeah, is all about feeling when comes to bling-bling stuff like that

people who tried it, coming from OEM Japanese brakes, the Brembo brakes are so amazing, so out of this world, like even 1 finger braking also effortless

even if Japanese brakes just change the brake pump to Brembo also improve a lot

ouhh i thought for the most part axial mounted and radial mounted would not be a big dif

for normal use, normal street ride. even the axial mount is good enough.
not much difference. Axial is good enough.
unless you bring the bike onto the track and race with it. then perhaps you can feel the difference
