TOMORROW’S TECH IN YESTERDAY’S STYLE: For the first time in Z900RS retro-sport history, this family gets a host of electronic rider support technology. That makes this Z900RS ABS more sporty and more high-tech than ever.
SET IT & FORGET IT: Highway cruising just got more comfortable with cruise control functionality. Set and maintain your speed with the push of a button.
THE SPORTIEST RETRO-SPORT YET: Don’t let the retro appearance fool you—this bike is equipped with the latest and greatest tech. IMU-equipped electronic riding support technology brings advanced capability to the ultimate riding experience. Using Bosch’s compact Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), inertia is monitored along 6 Degrees of Freedom. Acceleration along longitudinal, transverse, and vertical axes, plus roll rate and pitch rate are measured. The yaw rate is calculated using Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modeling software. Input from the 6-axis IMU adds greater precision to Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), enabling the additional function of corner braking management. By calculating the motorcycle’s lean angle, IMU feedback helps modulate brake force for any sudden erratic movements or slippage in a corner, assisting in holding your intended line through the turn. When slowing in a straight line, IMU-enhanced ABS also helps manage pitching to suppress rear-wheel lift under heavy braking.
RETRO GOES FUTURISTIC: The Z900RS ABS retro-sport gets a host of riding tech to take your ride to the next level: Kawasaki Corner Management Function (KCMF) helps modulate brake force and engine power for more precise control through corners. KCMF helps facilitate a smooth transition from accelerating to braking and accelerating again, assisting in tracing your intended line through the turn. Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) system provides both enhanced sport riding performance and the confidence to negotiate low-traction surfaces. Three rider-selectable modes offer progressively greater levels of intrusion to suit the riding situation and your preference: (1) Mode 1 provides the least amount of assistance with sport riding in mind. (2) Mode 2 offers earlier assistance and features balanced sport riding support. (3) Mode 3 offers the most assistance, allowing you to navigate challenging road conditions with confidence. Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and easy deceleration.
RIDE CONNECTED: Smartphone connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE† with available voice command and navigation functions allows you to view vehicle info, riding log, phone call and email notifications, and tuning of general settings. †RIDEOLOGY THE APP and all trademarks, registered trademarks, logos, and copyrights are the property of their respective owners. Voice command and navigation functions will be available only to users who have purchased a license for those functions. Feature availability may vary to meet individual markets.

Power & Performance

THE PERFECT BALANCE: The combination of a lightweight trellis frame and powerful engine allows the Z900RS ABS to achieve a superb balance of power and handling.
SPORTY CHARACTER IN ARTSY STYLE: A new in-line 4-cylinder engine with electronic throttle valves delivers strong acceleration and improved high-rpm performance.
TUNE: 4-into-1 exhaust system. Tapered megaphone-style muffler. Tuned exhaust note. This Z900RS ABS retro-sport is ready to roar.
COMFORT FOR THE LONG HAUL: Thicker than the previous models, this seat is well cushioned and comfortable for extended highway cruising and enhanced road bump absorption.

Retro Styling

AUTHENTIC Z1 STYLING: An homage to the original Z1 that started it all, the Z900RS ABS is the ultimate retro-sport Z. Ready for modern tech in classic style? Twist the throttle of the Z900RS ABS.
STAINLESS STEEL COMES STOCK: Double-walled headers, integrated connections, and tapered megaphone-style muffler—all treated to a buffed finish—highlight the Z900RS ABS motorcycle’s retro-sport image.
ILLUMINATE MODERNITY: A round LED headlight and oval surface-emitting LED taillight pay homage to the original Z1 motorcycle with a blend of retro and modern designs.
THE PAST PRESENTS THE FUTURE: The high-tech multi-function LCD screen nestles between bullet-shape analog dials, creating a balance of retro style and modern functionality. A new internal-cut key adds today’s security to help protect your ride.
CLASSIC SPOKE STYLE: A classic look with machining on the spokes and rim plus high-quality paint demonstrates superb craftsmanship.

Rider Experience

FEELS AUTHENTIC: Retro design meets modern technology and performance for superb riding comfort around town and on the highway.
MODERN BACKBONE: The modern lightweight trellis frame provides strength to harness the in-line 4-cylinder power and balanced flex to achieve responsive and agile handling.
COMFORTABLY SPORTY: A fully adjustable 41mm inverted front fork and a horizontal back-link rear suspension offer progressive damping that delivers both ride comfort and sporty performance.
PUT THE RAD IN RADIAL: Powerful braking performance featuring a firm, progressive feel is helped by modern radial-mount calipers and a radial-pump brake master cylinder. A compact and lightweight Nissin motorcycle ABS unit helps reduce wheel lock-up under certain conditions.
RIDE RELAXED: A relaxed upright riding position accommodates both comfortable cruising and sporty riding. A low seat height allows a comfortable reach to the ground while an upright handlebar position adds leverage for cornering and low-speed maneuvering.
