This Z900 Supernaked ushers in the most evolved iteration of Sugomi, matching radical streetfighter attitude with premium features. Make no mistake, the challenger spirit is stronger than ever—the Z900 imposes a powerful aura with refined design and assaults the senses with every roar of the 948cc engine.
Gold-coloured fork outer tubes
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.
Metal Accents
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.
Fully-Loaded Supernaked
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.
Sugomi Performance
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.
5" TFT Instrumentation
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.
In-Line Four Engine
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.
Front cowl-mounted USB-C outlet
Mounted inside the front cowl is a USB Type-C outlet for added convenience.
Electronic Cruise Control
With the push of button, riders are able to easily maintain a set speed, making highway cruising even more comfortable.
Light, Agile Handling
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.
LED Taillight with Light-Guiding Technology
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.
Brembo front brake package with stainless-steel braided lines
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.
Öhlins S46 rear shock with remote preload adjuster
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.
Latest Dunlop Sportmax Q5A Tyres
Featuring a new tyre compound, Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres deliver a strong, planted feel when cornering for enjoyable sport riding.
Compact LED Headlights and Sharp, Compact Front End
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.
New 2-tone stitched seat with thicker urethane
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).
IMU-Equipped Electronic Riding Support Technology
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.
KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter)
Allowing riders to takeveven greater advantage of the Z900’s exhilarating engine character, the quick shifter enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and easy deceleration.
Refined Sugomi Styling
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.

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.
