After providing its first look at the INTERMOT fair in Cologne, Germany, Kawasaki has officially revealed the all-new Z900 at the 2016 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. The bike will enter the market sometime next year to replace the existing Z800 as a more powerful and advanced successor. The Z900 gets a completely new design and styling along with a bigger power mill that is surely going to help it compete with products like the Yamaha MT-09.
Built on a new steel trellis frame, the Kawasaki Z900 gets design inspiration from its elder sibling, the Z1000. However, it looks much fresher and different from the existing machine. Powering the Z900 is a 948cc, inline-four motor that is based on that of the Z1000. The fuel-injected, liquid-cooled engine delivers 125PS of power, which is almost 13PS more than that of the Z800.
The lighter chassis results in a reduced weight and the new Kawasaki Z900 weights around 201 kg, which is an impressive 30kg less than the Z800. The bike also gets a new braking system, comprising of dual 300mm front discs with Nissin four-piston calipers and a single 250mm disc brake at the rear. Along with the ABS, the bike also gets an assist and slipper clutch as standard features, for safety and convenience. The suspension setup gets 41mm inverted forks with adjustable rebound and preload up front, and the rear monoshock gets the same levels of adjustability as well.
The Kawasaki Z900 is likely to make its entry in the Indian market sometime next year via the CBU route, and replace the Z800, with a slightly higher price tag.
Kawasaki Z800 User Reviews
It's an amazing bike, the one criticism is stand of this bike is too short and awkward to get down than others. This bike is very good for beginners who are trying to purchase 1st super and middleweight bikes. The seat of the z800 is so comfortable and big, by this you get very nice attention from the public. I recommend this bike to those who need a middle-weight bike and high power. Read More
The Z800 is not just a superbike; it's a real monster bike. When I ride it in the city or on the highway, the performance is marvelous. The engine sound is incredibly smooth, and the inline 4-cylinder exhaust sound is like music to my ears. My Z800 bike has a mileage of 18 in the city and 21 on the highway, which is quite impressive. Thanks to the Kawasaki engineers for creating such a fantastic machine.Read More
