1 week ago - In 2026, the Z900RS received a new 6-axis IMU for lean-sensitive ABS/Traction Control, cruise control, a quickshifter, revised engine internals (cams, compression) for better power delivery, a lighter flywheel, a new exhaust for improved sound, ...
As we batter along the back roads near Silverstone, skirting puddles and black mastic strips, the Z900 shows off seriously competent high-paced handling, careering along with a sure-footed intent the old bike would struggle to match in the wet.
The result is greatly improved handling. A secondary benefit is that the shock unit is placed far away from exhaust heat. Because it is more difficult for heat from the exhaust system to adversely affect suspension oil and gas pressure, suspension ...
The Kawasaki Z900 ABS naked motorcycle features a superb balance of power and handling with a 948cc engine, lightweight chassis delivering easy maneuverability, and stunning Sugomi design.
Precise control from the new electronic throttle valves contribute to smooth, linear acceleration, giving riders added confidence and enjoyment when cornering Key to the Z900s agile handling is a chassis composed of lightweight components, including its trellis frame.
Moving forward, it's essential to keep these visual contexts in mind when discussing Kawasaki Electric Z900 Handling.
- With a sporting 57.1-inch wheelbase and 24.5-degree rake, the Z900 is light and playful, ready to pounce at any corner, while its sturdy steel-trellis frame telegraphs information to the rider well.

- Although much of the chassis and components remain unchanged, Kawasaki have pulled the forks through the yolks by 3mm and have also added a plate in the frame in order to increase the rigidity. Sure, this isnt a massive change from the previous model but because of that, the Z900 is still a confidence inspiring, stable machine that is happy to be pushed relatively hard into corners on the front end.
