New Kawasaki Z 900

Metallic Spark Black / Metallic Carbon Gray / Ebony

This Z900 supernaked ushers in the most evolved iteration of Sugomi, matching radical streetfighter attitude with premium features. Make no mistake, the challenger spirit isstronger than ever—the Z900 imposes a powerful aura with refined design and assaults the senses with every roar of the 948cc engine. 

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Full-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.

High-Performance Brakes With Radial Mount Calipers
Front brakes with new radial-mount 4-piston calipers offer a linear brake touch with excellent control.

KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter)
Allowing riders to take even greater advantage of the Z900’s exhilarating engine character, the quick shifter enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and easy deceleration.

RIDEOLOGY THE APP Motorcycle
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.
