2018 KAWASAKI Z900RS
FIRST TEST
P76
As a styling exercise, Kawasaki
has nailed the new RS. The large,
circular LED headlight; dual round
analog clocks, air-cooled-style en-
gine fins on the block; cast wheels
that have the flat spokes polished
to give an old-school wire spoked
appearance; the wide and long
single piece seat; the helmet lock
(rejoice!); the teardrop tank shape
and color and the little dovetail
seat unit are all classic Z1 900.
Transported out of the '70s they
give you the feeling of being right
back in them, but those thoughts
The rear seat and light are straight off a Z1.
The ride position is
about as comfortable
as possible for a
naked bike.
