Kawasaki Z900RS launched in India, priced at Rs. 15.30 lakhs.
Kawasaki has launched the Z900RS in India priced at Rs. 15.30 lakhs (ex-showroom). The modern classic is available in Candytone Brown and Candytone Orange colours. The Z900RS is traditional yet modern and takes inspiration from the 1970’s Z1 and the new Z900.
The Z900RS gets a LED headlamp, multi-function display housed between the twin-pod instrument console and Kawasaki’s first tuned exhaust note. The screen features a fuel gauge, range, current and average fuel consumption, coolant temperature, external temperature and a gear position indicator. The display can be switched off to give the instrument cluster a more retro look.
Powering the Z900RS is a 948cc inline-4 fuel-injected and liquid-cooled motor that produces 111 PS of power at 8500 RPM and 98.5 Nm of torque at 6500 RPM. The powertrain comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Electronic rider aids include KRTC (Kawasaki Traction Control) and ABS. The vehicle comes shod with 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 120-section tyre for the front wheel and 180-section rubber for the rear.
Suspension duties are via 41 mm inverted forks up front and a horizontal back-link monoshock at the rear. Braking is taken care by dual 300 mm discs up front and a single 250 mm petal disc at the rear. The Z900RS can hold up to 17-litres of fuel and tips the scales at 215 kgs. The Z900RS has been made available for the Indian market on a bookings-only basis. So, the company and its dealers will not stock up on the motorcycle.
