• ASSIST AND SLIPPER CLUTCH
• HORIZONTAL BACK-LINK REAR SUSPENSION

AUTHENTIC Z1 STYLING
The Z900RS is the ultimate retro-sport Z that blends classic styling with modern features. Double-walled headers, integrated connections, and short megaphone silencer--all treated to a buffed finish highlight the Z900RS motorcycle's retro-sport image. A round LED headlight and oval surface-emitting LED taillight pay homage to the original Z1 motorcycle with a blend of retro and modern designs. The high-tech multi-function LCD screen nestles between bullet-shape analog dials, creating a balance of retro style and modern functionality. A classic look with machining on the spokes and rim plus high-quality paint demonstrates superb craftsmanship.

THE PERFECT BALANCE
The combination of a lightweight trellis frame and powerful engine allows the Z900RS to achieve a superb balance of power and handling. The powerful inline-four delivers strong acceleration and silky-smooth performance for cruising at higher rpm. A tuned exhaust to deliver a satisfying rumble during engine start and idling. The seat is well cushioned and comfortable for extended highway cruising and enhanced road bump absorption.

AUTHENTIC RIDING EXPERIENCE
Retro design meets modern technology and performance for superb riding comfort around town and on the highway. The modern lightweight trellis frame provides strength to harness the inline 4-cylinder power and the balanced flex to achieve responsive and agile handling. A fully adjustable 41mm inverted front fork and a horizontal back-link rear suspension offer progressive damping that delivers both ride comfort and sporty performance. A relaxed upright riding position accommodates both comfortable cruising and sporty riding. A low seat height allows an easy reach to the ground while an upright handlebar position adds leverage for cornering and low-speed maneuvering.
