Brings back memories, a tastefully done retro by Kawasaki
It looks a lot like the original 70s bike, with lots of accessories like 4-into-4 pipes, a grab bar, and chrome fenders.

Re: Kawasaki Z900 new Retro
I bought an ‘18 a few months after selling my 79. Got the root beer and orange version. Very similar speeds and response. Low 11s in the quarter and about a 140 mph top speed. Very smooth and flickable. Except for a mono shock, TC, FI, ABS, a radiator, 4 into 1 exhaust, dual front rotors, a 6 speed trany….it’s just like the original Z1! I’ve been thru 8 states with it so far, most memorable was Glacier NP, the giant redwoods in NorCal, every Sierra mountain pass and Monument Valley. Have just over 25,000 Smiles so far.

Re: Kawasaki Z900 new Retro
They nailed it with this bike. Captured the essence of the original and gave it modern stonk.
Somewhere I have a photo taken at the Distinguished Gentlemans Ride, with a pristine 73 I had just restored next to one of these, and I can't say which one I desired more.

Approximately $2100.00 for that lovely Delkevic 4-4 exhaust system.

Re: Kawasaki Z900 new Retro
I agree 100% with you guys, Kawasaki really nailed it with theses modern Z’s. They have a history of getting the retros right, I still have my 99 ZRX I bought new.
