Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe

Kawasaki's 2021 Z900RS Cafe is a return to the lightweight, four-chamber street rockets that hustled between bistro stops during the 1960s and 1970s. A brought down seat stature, raked back cut ons, and the streamlined fog light cowling to fold down behind all communicate in the language of ancient times, yet the 948cc inline-four is everything except, putting down a good 110 HP and 73 lb-ft of force. The Z900 is the ideal retro-style bicycle in Kawasaki's 2021 setup.

Obviously, Kawasaki Motorcycles doesn't hold back out on the racer-like underpinnings of the Z900RS Cafe. 36mm choke bodies swallow in air to blend in with the fuel from the injectors, delivering a murmuring snarl out of gear. Wind open the choke, and you'll hear the particular, guttural thunder that the old Kawasaki.

We, the riding public, are fortunate that Kawasaki creates one that can be ridden either as an agreeable game traveler, or a tucked down bistro racer, and be great at both in equivalent measure.
