A major part of a sharper-looking new front end is the new sharper, more compact headlights, which were designed to be an integral part of the Z’s sugomi styling. They enable a sleeker front cowl, creating a compact, aggressive looking view from the front, sure to resonate with fans of the Supernaked Z. The headlights are surrounded by black plastic parts that appear like eye shadow if the headlights were eyes, enhancing the looks of the front end.

Complementing the Z900’s exciting engine and nimble handling performance, comfort-enhancing features like the highly informative large new display, voice command, and electronic cruise control enhance daily riding pleasure.

Offering excitement that increases as the revs climb, sugomi performance ensures that riding the Z900 is a visceral experience. The crisp response of its In-Line Four engine is perfectly balanced by its light, agile handling. Exhilarating without being overly intimidating, the combination is simply sublime.

ø41 mm inverted front fork offers reassuring handling in riding situations ranging from in-town to back roads. The high-grade fork features compression and rebound damping adjustability in addition to stepless adjustable preload, enabling precise settings to suit rider preference and riding style, and offering a better ability to soak up bumps. Gold-coloured fork outer tubes match the Öhlins rear shock.

5” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation is larger than the previous model’s display and gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance. The glass-bonded display with IPS (in-plane switching) LCD technology offers superb visibility.

Key to the Z900’s agile handling is a chassis composed of lightweight components, including its trellis frame. Revised suspension settings for the new model allow riders to enjoy sport riding with more confidence.

Kawasaki’s highly sophisticated electronic management systems offer rider support to allow riders to more fully experience how the Z900 is fun and rewarding to control. IMU feedback adds greater precision to the ABS.

Mounted inside the front cowl is a USB Type-C outlet for added convenience.

Featuring a new tyre compound, Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres deliver a strong, planted feel when cornering for enjoyable sport riding.

The advanced LED taillight features light-guiding technology to achieve a futuristic design with a cutting-edge, 3D appearance that highlights the Z900’s sharp, edgy styling while contributing to a high-grade look.

In a Kawasaki first, turn-by-turn navigation can be displayed on the instrument panel, allowing the rider to see where the next turn should be made, while compatibility with RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE allows the rider to control various functions by voice.

*Voice command and navigation functions will be available only to users who have a license. Feature availability varies by market.

With the push of button, riders are able to easily maintain a set speed, making highway cruising even more comfortable.

The Z900’s sharp and edgy new design, which is centred around the engine, offers unrivalled impact that catches and holds the attention of all who view it. Elegant, close-fitting bodywork is complemented by metal styling accents, contributing a high-quality impression. From the intense look of the more aggressive front end to the futuristic impression of the advanced new taillight design, the Z900’s condensed appearance conveys a light, agile image that reflects its sporty performance.

Brushed aluminium side shrouds, plated parts around the key cylinder, and a metal ornament located above the seat featuring the Kawasaki logo are attractive accents that give the Z900 a high-quality, metallic look.

The Öhlins S46 rear shock features an aluminium body with single-tube construction, large ø46 mm piston and internal oil and gas chambers separated by a floating piston, resulting in a superior sense of grip and handling. Like the front fork, the Öhlins rear shock contributes to a suppler ride feel.

A high-quality two-tone seat with a real leather-like look features a Kawasaki-first hand-stich-style sewing line along the thigh area (lower part of the seat).

ø300 mm Brembo front discs, M4.32 radial-mount monobloc calipers (same spec as the Z H2) and pads complemented by a Nissin radial-pump master cylinder and stainless-steel braided lines deliver greater stopping power and offer a linear progression when operating the lever that facilitates precise control.

Powerful 948 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke Inline Four engine has a quick-revving character, and a strong mid-range hit that pulls strongly to the redline. Adding to rider exhilaration, a distinct intake note encourages the rider to twist the throttle. Silky smooth power delivery facilitates control while contributing to rider comfort and confidence. Precise control from the new electronic throttle valves contribute to smooth, linear acceleration, giving riders added confidence and enjoyment when cornering.
