The Z900 motorcycle epitomizes Kawasaki’s belief of what the ideal supernaked bike should be. Every twist of the throttle is rewarded with crisp, exhilarating acceleration, and an ultra-lightweight chassis lends itself to spirited sport riding. With a 948cc engine and easy maneuverability, the Z900 is exceptionally responsive and exciting to ride.
