Is Kawasaki Z900 the ultimate Beast?

The Kawasaki Z900 is a quick, eye-catching hooligan motorcycle. With its powerful inline four-cylinder engine, it's an ideal companion for both city and highway travel. Although the bike is slightly more expensive to maintain, it benefits from Kawasaki's service network.

 

Design

The Z900 ABS design is robust, narrow, and light in weight. The suspension settings on the front and rear are made to complement the frame. Concurrently, the high-performance rubber used in Dunlop Sportmax RoadSport 2 tyres improves handling and offers the best grip. The bike's mechanicals haven't been modified, and it continues to be a great deal in the marketplace. 

There are no new components on the Z900. You receive all-LED lighting along with the same eye-catching Sugomi design. The Z900 is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels shod in 180/55 on the back and 120/70 on the front. The bike has a 17-litre petrol tank and weighs 212 kilogrammes. The Kawasaki Z900's strong fuel tank and bright LED headlight give it a young appearance.
