Kawasaki Z900 RS Cafe 2018

Kawasaki Z900 RS Cafe 2018

With the Z900RS Cafe, Kawasaki has launched a very successful and high-quality homage to the café racer machines from the 1970s. It combines the classic, sporty design with the ultra-modern technology of the modern era. Surprisingly, it presents itself as a pleasant-to-ride sports tourer with high utility value. This means that it will be used more often in practice than a Z900RS or similar motorbike. A big hit.

Beautiful, classic and high-quality look

balanced handling. Not nervous and not ponderous

sporty riding feel thanks to high-torque engine and sporty seating position

practical wind protection

great sport tourer feeling paired with great looks.

No shift assistant

heavier than other retro bikes in this class

seat a little too soft on long tours.
