Overview[edit | edit source]
Kawasaki Z 900RS Café
This is the 2019 Z900RS Café, and will come in two new color schemes; a blue with grey and grey with green option. The green and white paint scheme will also be available alongside the new colors. Apart from this, the 2019 Z900RS Café remains the same. Basically a Z900RS with a handful of cafe-style design cues, the Z900RS Cafe adds even more style to an already stylish platform. It has the same lightweight, trellis-style frame, water-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve 949cc inline four and six-speed, KTRC traction contro-equipped transmission as the standard Z900RS. The bike is sprung with a pair of 41mm inverted forks up front and horizontal back link suspension in the rear, and rolls on a pair of cast, multi-spoke wheels.
The Z900RS CAFE features its own cafe-racer style seat with a more pronounced
step. In addition to the standard Z900RS, the Z900RS CAFE is fitted with a number of
unique features such as a Cafe Racer Front Cowl. The Z900RS CAFE features a drop handlebar, contributing to the cafe-racer
styling.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) ensures stable braking
performance by preventing wheel lock during braking. Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension arranges its shock unit horizontally,
greatly contributing to efficient use of space and mass centralisation. Based on racing technology, the Assist & Slipper Clutch acts as both a
back-torque limiter and a self-servo mechanism that enables a lighter clutch
lever pull.
The Economical Riding Indicator is a mark appearing on the
instrument panel to indicate favourable fuel consumption, encouraging fuel
efficient riding.
