MCN: We've ridden the Kawasaki Z900RS - and we like it!


The new Z900RS (Retro Sport) is an unashamed nod to the bike that started the whole Zed story for Kawasaki: the 1972, 83bhp, 903cc, inline four-cylinder ‘900 Super 4’ Z1. It’s a feisty, feel-good bike, but with the 2017 Z900 base machine proving itself to be such a perfect, if unexpected, performer this year, we kind of knew it would be.

Starting with the brilliant Z900 as its base, we always knew the new RS would match performance with looks. It oozes 70s Z1 charm, detailing and mixes it with modern technology, easy speed, light controls, superb build quality and fastidious attention to detail. There’s enough performance for experienced riders to enjoy and for new riders it’s a piece of cake to jump on and live, or relive your 70s dreams.
