Already established as the ‘go-to’ bike in its sector of the naked streetfighter class, the Refined Raw Z900 uses the unique-to-Kawasaki Sugomi engineering and design philosophy to balance its forthright personality between aggressive, no-nonsense good looks matched by thorough Kawasaki engineering.

A real rider’s machine that suits both firmly established bike fans and those wishing to migrate further up the capacity ladder, the latest colour option for the Z900 will be Candy Persimmon Red with Metallic Spark Black delivering, along with three further options, a total of four colour choices in 2018.

Subtle changes see Flat Ebony replace Flat Metallic Spark Black on the darkest colour option plus the addition of red wheel rim tape and highlights. This and the Candy Lime Green machine also enjoy the benefit of detail graphic upgrades for the new season while the Pearl Mystic Grey option remains unchanged.

 “The Z900 represents that most elusive of combinations, a great all-round Refined Raw motorcycle package”, commented Director of Kawasaki Motors Europe, Morihiro Ikoma. “Sitting centrally in the Z range, the Z900 is an important bike for Kawasaki. With this new colour option it will certainly stay front-of-mind for buyers in this popular market sector.”  

The 2018 Kawasaki Z900 will be available from October 2017.
