After a few years of gap, Kawasaki has brought back the 2023 Z900RS to India. The neo-retro motorcycle comes with a sticker price of Rs 16,47,000 (ex-showroom). Meanwhile, the bike maker recently launched the 2023 Z H2 and Z H2 SE along with the 2023 Versys 1000 in India.

2023 Kawasaki Z900RS: Design

To begin with, the design of the Z900RS draws inspiration from the brand's classic motorcycles from the late 80s. Thus, it bears a modern-classic design language. The round headlight, slender tail section, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, alloy wheels with chrome-finished rim edges, twin analogue speedometer and tachometer dials with MID, side-slung chrome exhaust, and round-shaped mirrors dominate the styling of the Z900RS. 

Interestingly, its styling cues are mostly inspired by the Z1. However, it does not feature good-old circular indicators. Meanwhile, Kawasaki offers two colour options – Candy Tone Blue and Metallic Diablo Black with Metallic Imperial Red.

2023 Kawasaki Z900RS: Engine

The Z900RS is powered by a 948cc, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine making 111PS at 8,500rpm and 98.5Nm of torque at 6,500rpm. This motor comes mated to a six-speed gearbox.
