The 2025 Kawasaki Z900RS is a motorcycle that blends classic design with modern performance. It features a 948cc liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine, delivering 110 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 72.3 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. This engine setup ensures strong acceleration and smooth performance, suitable for both city rides and highway cruising.
The bike's design pays homage to the original Z1, showcasing a retro style with modern touches. It includes a round LED headlight, an oval LED taillight, and bullet-shaped analog dials paired with a multi-function LCD screen, combining vintage aesthetics with contemporary functionality.
Rider comfort is prioritized with a well-cushioned seat and an upright riding position, making it suitable for longer journeys. The suspension system features a 41mm inverted telescopic front fork and a horizontal back-link rear suspension, both adjustable to cater to different riding preferences.
Safety and control are enhanced by the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) with three modes, providing stability across various riding conditions. The Assist & Slipper Clutch ensures smoother gear shifts and prevents rear-wheel lock-up during sudden downshifts.
The Z900RS rides on 17-inch wheels, fitted with a 120/70 tire at the front and a 180/55 tire at the rear, offering a balanced and responsive ride. With a fuel capacity of 4.5 gallons and a curb weight of approximately 474 pounds, it balances fuel efficiency with manageable weight.
