The Kawasaki Z900 is a standard motorcycle of the Kawasaki Z series made by Kawasaki since 2017. It replaced the Z800.[1] It is the flagship Z series motorcycle besides the ZH2 from Kawasaki.
The Z900RS is a retro-styled version of the Z900 first unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Show. "RS" stands for Retro Sports; There is also a café racer version of the bike featuring front bikini fairing, lower handlebars and a taller seat. The engine is also tuned differently, and has a lower-pitched exhaust sound. It went on sale in Japan in December 2017, and arrived in the US in the following year. The color option for the first year included a two-tone, Fireball orange and Candy-tone brown paint, black or green for the café version in the US. In 2023 the SE version became available in the US, which came with a Ohlins rear shock, golden front forks along with Brembo front calipers as well as the Yellow-Ball paint schemes.
