Introduction
Kawasaki makes its long-awaited entry into the retro category with the all-new Z900RS. Conceived as an homage to the legendary Z1, it's powered by a liquid-cooled 900cc-class In-Line Four cylinder – an engine choice that makes the Z900RS unique in this category. The newest Z is a synthesis of the traditional & the modern. An engine with a traditional In-Line Four configuration is backed by Kawasaki’s latest rider support technology, the engine & frame design both benefit from the latest in advanced analysis technology, & carefully crafted styling elements are complemented by high-tech features like LED lighting and digital instrumentation. Great pains were taken to achieve the Z900RS’ look & feel, with each component meticulously selected with every setting carefully considered. A synchronous ride feel combines the smooth response of an In-Line Four tuned for low-mid range torque, a deep rumbling exhaust note crafted to deliver additional rider enjoyment, & neutral handling that enables both leisurely & sporty riding. This is complemented by timeless looks that blend Z1-inspired styling with modern technology and craftsmanship techniques, & an attention to detail & high level of fit-and-finish to rival that of the Z1 itself. For riders searching for a bike with character with a rich history, the Z900RS – also available in a variation with a cafe racer image – offers both in abundance, while providing an opportunity to slow down, look around & enjoy the simple things that life can bring.
