2026 Kawasaki Z900RS SE

2026 Kawasaki Z900RS

Past & Future meet in the new Z900RS.

Inspired by the iconic Z1, the Z900RS reimagines details for a new riding era such as the vintage style comfort low seat, analogue dials and sporty “sound tuned” megaphone style silencer while adding modern craftsmanship in every area. From electronic cruise control and Smartphone connectivity to the IMU-equipped rider support package that includes Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF) and Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS), this is an engine tuned for smooth performance at low rpm and greater excitement at higher revs, joining innovations designed to enhance rider comfort and sheer riding pleasure. This is not just a motorcycle; this is the embodiment of Retro Sport.

Z900RS - Legends Never End, they grow, evolve, and endure.

Features may include:

• Iconic Retro Sport

With a seamless blend of Z1-inspired styling elements and modern craftsmanship—from the iconic teardrop fuel tank to the innovative oval LED taillight—the Z900RS offers timeless good looks with an exquisite attention to detail and superb fit-and-finish that results in a very high-quality appearance. Functional beauty was a priority, with a simple, yet refined design pursued.

• Superb balance of power and handling

Thanks to its smooth In-Line Four, and unhurried handling care of its lightweight trellis frame, the ride feel of the Z900RS is unique in the retro category. Both engine and chassis response were carefully designed to not be too quick, making it easier to feel at one with the bike. The resultant stress-free riding is complemented by a crafted exhaust note that enriches the riding experience from the time the rider thumbs the ignition—features that will enable riders to enjoy their machine for many long years. The Z900RS’ refined character is reminiscent of the legendary Kawasaki bikes of yesteryear.

• IMU-Equipped Electronic Riding Support Technology

Complementing the Z900RS’ rider-friendly engine and handling performance, an expanded electronic rider support package includes IMU feedback and Kawasaki’s latest dual-direction KQS, as well as comfort-enhancing features like electronic cruise control.
