Kawasaki has launched the new 2022 Z900RS in the North American market. The motorcycle features a new Candy Tone Blue paint with Gold stripes that draw inspiration from the Kawasaki Z1 from the 1970s. The 2022 Kawasaki Z900RS comes at the price of USD 11,499 MSRP. The Kawasaki Z900RS was also available in the Indian market but discontinued due to insufficient sales numbers.
The Kawasaki Z900 features a rounded headlamp with a multi-faceted reflector beam and twin-pot instruments cluster. The retro-classic motorcycle features an almond-shaped fuel tank, flat bench seat with pleated upholstery and a sleek tail section. The bike comes with chopped fenders, upright handlebars and relaxed mid-set footpegs. The Kawasaki Z900RS also features rounded mirrors, multispoke alloy wheels, and a chrome finish on the 4-into-1 exhaust system.
The authentic retro styling on the Z900RS contrasts with the modern engine technology of the motorcycle. The Kawasaki Z900RS comes with a 948cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC engine. The engine features a DFI (Electronic Fuel Injection System) with Keihin 36mm throttle bodies and TCBI with an electronic advanced ignition system. The motor comes with a 6-speed return type transmission and produces 108 Bhp of power and 98 Nm of torque.
