"Candy Tone Red" Debuts on the Bikini-Style Cafe

The 2027 Z900RS lineup welcomes a new STD model, expanding the range with a more affordable, basic specification.

The Z900RS series inherits the DNA of Kawasaki's legendary "Z1." Since its debut in 2017, it has garnered significant support from riders for its masterful fusion of classical styling and modern riding performance. The newly released 2027 models maintain their specifications, with the most affordable standard model making a comeback, further enriching the lineup.

Notably, the cafe racer style "Z900RS CAFE" retains its retro aesthetics, including the rainbow line and large KAWASAKI lettering inspired by the "Mach series" announced last year. A new dark-toned color, "Candy Tone Red," is introduced, replacing the previous Ebony as the sole color option.

The release date, like the Standard and SE models, is August 1, 2026. The price remains unchanged at 1,540,000 yen.
