Double-walled headers, integrated connections, and short megaphone silencer—all treated to a buffed finish—highlight the Z900RS motorcycle’s retro-sport image.

Smooth & Powerful

The powerful in-line 4-cylinder engine delivers strong acceleration and silky-smooth performance for cruising at higher rpm.

Tuned Exhaust Note

Tuned to deliver a satisfying rumble during engine start and idling.

Seat is well cushioned and comfortable for extended highway cruising and enhanced road bump absorption.

Rider Experience

Authentic Riding Experience

Retro design meets modern technology and performance for superb riding comfort around town and on the highway

Strength & Flexibility

The modern lightweight trellis frame provides strength to harness the in-line 4-cylinder power and balanced flex to achieve responsive and agile handling.

Comfortable & Responsive

A fully adjustable 41mm inverted front fork and a horizontal back-link rear suspension offer progressive damping that delivers both ride comfort and sporty performance.

Reliable & Modern

Powerful braking performance featuring a firm, progressive feel is helped by modern radial-mount calipers and a radial-pump brake master cylinder. A compact and lightweight Nissin motorcycle ABS unit helps reduce wheel lock-up under certain conditions.

Easy Riding

A relaxed upright riding position accommodates both comfortable cruising and sporty riding. A low seat height allows an easy reach to the ground while an upright handlebar position adds leverage for cornering and low-speed maneuvering.
