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.

        1. He’s fired someone and made a video about it. Yammie deleted the original video because everyone trashed it so much.

        2. He crashed into some guys Porsche while riding on the wing side of the road while his licence was suspended.

        3. 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.)
