In 1972, Kawasaki made history with the legendary Z1. The four cylinder, four stroke 903cc engine was rated at over 80ps, making it one of the largest capacity and highest power, mass production motorcycles available in its time.

Today, the Kawasaki Z900RS is an evolution of the original Z1 and is set to again make Kawasaki history by marking their long awaited entry into the Retro Sport category.

Any visual, technical or engineering references to the original have been moulded in light of the demands from today’s rider expectations and environment. The all new Z900RS connects heritage with contemporary thinking in a way that embodies the True Spirit of the Kawasaki Z family, resulting in a pure motorcycling experience.
