Cashing in on the market trend for retro bikes when it was released back in 2018, the 2021 Kawasaki Z900RS is updated for the coming year with new colour choices. The iconic Kawasaki Green colour way of the Z900RS Cafe is gone, along with the Candy Brown of the SE model that comes without the bikini fairing, replaced with Candytone Green along with more basic Ebony and Metallic Spark Black variants.
Motive power for the Z900RS is still the same, the liquid-cooled inline-four producing 111 hp at 8,500 rpm and 98.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, mated to a six-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch and chain final drive.
Suspension uses 41 mm upside-down forks,
fully-adjustable for compression, preload and rebound while the back end is
held up with a mono shock, adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping.
For braking, twin 300 mm diameter semi-floating discs are clamped by
radial-mount four-piston callipers with the rear having a single 250 mm disc
and single-piston calliper.
Fuel is carried in a 17-litre fuel tank
and seat height is 835 mm with wet weight coming in at 215 kg.
