2018 Kawasaki Z900RS

RETURN OF THE KING

In 1973, Kawasaki introduced the Z1 900, a bold in-line four powered bike that would inspire an entire new generation of motorcycle design. Today, the Z1 900 spirit lives on in the all-new 2018 Z900RS. Combining timeless retro styling, high quality components and muscle power of the original Z1 with today’s cutting-edge technology and performance, the powerful yet friendly-to-ride Z900RS represents a modern reinvigoration of the icon that started it all.​
 
The Golden Age of motorcycling, dating back to 1970’s, brought style and performance together in a classic, timeless way. It was an unforgettable time period of high-performance bikes, functional beauty with sporty handling that ruled the day. No one captured that classic era more than the Kawasaki Z1 900—The King of the Road. Inspired by the style of Kawasaki’s original classic and the sporty simplicity of pure street riding enjoyment, the 2018 line brings Kawasaki’s timeless Z styling together with modern performance in the new Z900RS retro-sport motorcycle.
 
The Z900 ABS motorcycle epitomizes Kawasaki’s belief about what the ideal supernaked bike should be. Every twist of the throttle is rewarded with crisp, exhilarating acceleration and an ultra-lightweight chassis lends itself to spirited sport riding. Designed for maximum riding pleasure and easy maneuverability, the Z900 ABS is exceptionally responsive and exciting to ride.

Power & Handling
A superb balance of big power and light responsive handling gives the Z900 ABS a power-to-weight ratio that’s optimized for ultimate performance. The powerful 948cc liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine has a quick-revving character that produces incredible acceleration. A lightweight, narrow chassis and sport-tuned suspension contribute to the light and responsive handling.


Styling
Aggressive supernaked Z styling combines a dominant front face and sharp minimalist bodywork. This exposes the trellis frame and compact engine for a technical appearance with refined fit and finish. LED Z pattern taillight and sporty turn signals make sure to deliver a bold statement at every turn. One look, and you’ll fall in love.

 
Ergonomics
With the relaxed, sporty riding position and wide flat handlebar the rider can easily capitalize on its street riding potential. The commanding ride position places the rider “in” the bike for a confident and connected riding experience, while the low seat height and tapered seat shape allows easy foot placement during stops
