RETURN OF THE KING
In 1973, Kawasaki introduced the Z1 900, a retro-classic bike that would inspire an entire new generation of motorcycle design. Today, the Z1 900 spirit lives on in the 2019 Z900RS. Combining timeless retro styling, high quality components and muscle power of the original Z1 with today’s cutting-edge technology and performance, the powerful yet friendly-to-ride Z900RS represents a modern reinvigoration of the icon that started it all.
