Kawasaki has showcased two custom motorcycles, the
Kawasaki Z900 RS Doremi Collection and the Kawasaki Z900 RS Bito R&D at the
2017 Tokyo Motor Show.
This motorcycle is designed by Doremi Collection, to
pay homage to the racers who were active in the AMA Superbike Championships of
the yore.
The Kawasaki Z900 RS Doremi features a unique black and green livery
with gold finish 18-inch alloy wheels. The quad exhaust system is reminiscent
of the Kawasaki race bikes and is finished in matte black. The front features a
chrome fender, and the instrument cluster and headlight ring get chrome accents
as well. The bulb-type lighting system adds authenticity to the motorcycle.
For suspension, the bike employs inverted front fork
and a rear monoshock with remote adjustment. Even the brakes are solid for that
vintage charm. Twin radial callipers bite the front twin discs, and a single
piston calliper grabs the rear unit. The engine is the same 948cc in-line
four-cylinder engine that does duty on the stock bike. It produces 111 PS at
8,500 rpm and 98.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine mates with a 6-speed
transmission.
Bito R&D, an aftermarket parts manufacturer from
Japan, has designed this motorcycle. The bike is draped in olive green with
yellow stripe livery. The bike features a well-cushioned stepped seat, with a
rear luggage rack. The four-to-one exhaust system is an aftermarket unit. This
motorcycle also features solid discs for retro appeal.
Coming to the suspension bits, the motorcycle
employs upside down front forks and a rear monoshock. The alloy wheels are shod
with low-profile Dunlop tyres. The 948cc in-line four-cylinder engine is stock.
It is capable of generating 111 PS at 8,500 rpm and 98.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The
powerplant works in tandem with a 6-speed transmission.
