2018 Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe

Aesthetic Heritage Meets Modern Design

Inspired by the iconic Kawasaki Z1 of the early 1970s, the Z900RS Café features a café-style windshield, teardrop fuel tank, and minimalist tail to accentuate its racing pedigree

The deep, lustrous paint and polished chrome add to its nostalgic appeal, while the café racer seat and aggressive rear foot pegs give it a sportier riding stance

Available in bold color schemes like Metallic Spark Black, Candy Persimmon Red, and Green with Black Accents, it’s as eye-catching as it is comfortable.

Powerful, Refined Engine

• Under the retro skin lies a 948cc liquid-cooled inline-four producing around 111–115 hp and 72–73 lb-ft of torque


• The smooth-shifting six-speed transmission, paired with Kawasaki’s Assist & Slipper Clutch, ensures effortless gear changes and confident downshifting. Advanced rider aids like Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), Cornering Management Function (KCMF), and Quick Shifter (KQS) keep you in control on both city streets and twisty backroads

Precision Chassis and Handling

• The trellis frame and horizontal back-link rear suspension deliver a rigid, lightweight platform with nimble handling and responsive steering


• The 32.3-inch seat height and comfortable riding position make it versatile for daily commuting and weekend adventures.

Technology and Comfort

• Equipped with ABS, Electronic Cruise Control, and Smartphone Connectivity via RIDEOLOGY, the Z900RS Café offers modern convenience without sacrificing its classic look


• The padded seat and relaxed handlebar grip ensure long rides are comfortable, while the aggressive stance adds a touch of sportiness.

Why It Stands Out

The Z900RS Café is more than a retro homage — it’s a modern classic that delivers the soul of a café racer with the reliability and tech of today’s motorcycles. Whether you’re cruising the open road or carving through corners, it combines nostalgic style, sporty performance, and rider-focused technology into one compelling package
