Z900 Powers Into 2022 Season

One of Kawasaki’s most outstanding success stories of the recent past, the Z900 is set to power its way into 2022 and earn a place in the hearts of yet more naked bike category fans.

A hit since the day of its introduction, the Z900 has gradually evolved to meet the needs of discerning riders but never at the cost of the core, elemental riding experience that only a Kawasaki Z can deliver.

The Z900 now boasts a number of rider aids and additional features that enhance the overall riding and ownership experience. From a rider view perspective, the Z900 comes equipped with a colour TFT meter display that has earned high praise for its clarity. Plus integrated into the meter is a Bluetooth chip allowing he rider to synch their smart phone with their motorcycle using the useful Rideology App from Kawasaki that relates a variety of machine and status aspects to the screen of the riders’ phone.

Also aiding the rider, the Z900 has handlebar switch selectable power modes offering a choice of Full Power or Low Power allowing riders to set the power delivery to suit preference and conditions.

KTRC, Kawasaki’s advanced traction control system, is also standard providing both enhanced sport riding performance and the peace of mind to negotiate low-traction surfaces with confidence. The three rider selectable modes offer progressively greater levels of intervention to suit the riding situation and rider preference.

And usefully combining the two, the Z900 incorporates selectable Riding Modes as standard linking KTRC and Power Mode to allow riders the facility to set traction control and power delivery to suit a given riding situation. Riders can choose from three settings (Sport, Road, Rain) or a manual setting (Rider).

Benefitting – like all models in the 2022 Z family – from Kawasaki’s unique Sugomi design philosophy creating a balance between visual styling and under-skin engineering, the Z900 will be available in early November and will come in three colours:

  • Metallic Spark Black/Metallic Flat Spark Black (Standard £9,299, Performance Edition £10,199)
  • Pearl Robotic White/Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray (Standard £9,399, Performance Edition £10,299)
  • Candy Lime Green/Metallic Spark Black (Standard £9,399, Performance Edition £10,299)

Kawasaki Z900 eligible for grass roots NLR Moto46 Streetbike Cup

Kawasaki Motors UK is pleased to announce that the Kawasaki Z900 supernaked machine is eligible for the Moto46 Streetbike Cup, a brand-new support class in the 2021 No Limits Racing Series.

The Moto46 Streetbike Cup, which kicks off at Donington Park on 17/18 April, provides riders with an entry-level racing platform from which to hone and develop their talent – something that is in keeping with Kawasaki’s long-established ethos of supporting and encouraging grass roots racing.

The Kawasaki Z900, with its aggressive Sugomi styling, represents the ideal balance between the direct and emotionally charged experience of riding a class-defining Z family naked bike and the refinement and confidence that a carefully selected suite of electronic rider aids proves. The popular machine has previous race pedigree in the form of the European Z900 Cup, a series that ran alongside the FIM CEV Repsol championship in Spain and Portugal.

Riders choosing to contest the Moto46 Streetbike Cup aboard the Kawasaki Z900 can take advantage of the full Z900 protection kit created specifically for the Euro series by market-leading motorcycle protection provider and No Limits partner, GB Racing. Competitors can also call on the services of Kawasaki’s Team Green Technical Partner, MSS Performance, who supply racing parts and technical support for Kawasaki Racing riders at all levels of competition.

The Moto46 Streetbike Cup will run alongside the eight-round No Limits Racing National Endurance Championship, which begins on 17/18 April at Donington Park and concludes in October at Brands Hatch, visiting Oulton Park, Cadwell Park, Croft and Anglesey along the way (all dates subject to change).

Craig Watson, Kawasaki Motors UK Sales and Marketing Manager:

“Kawasaki has a long history of supporting rider development from an early stage, so we’re really pleased that the Z900 is eligible for this new grass roots racing opportunity. We want to encourage riders to get into the sport and should you be sat there thinking “this is for me!” Get in touch with your local Kawasaki dealer as we are setting up a Z900 race support price for eligible racers!

I will certainly be keeping a close eye on the Streetbike Cup and will have some more exciting news about our involvement in the coming weeks.”

Z900 becomes a screen star for 2020 season

Updated for 2020, the Z900 maintains the “Exciting and Easy” concept of its predecessor, while offering the next step in aggressive Z Sugomi styling. 

A host of advanced new features appear including integrated Riding Modes (combining newly added KTRC and Power modes), new TFT colour instrument screen, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, all-LED lighting and cleaner emissions.

Consistently at the head of the field in its capacity class of the naked sector, the Z900 is available in two versions for 2020, a full power machine rated at 125PS (92.2 kW) and an A2 specification model with 95PS (70kW) available.

At the core of Kawasaki’s Z offering, the Z900 has been a consistently strong seller within Europe where the naked bike market has grown each year to become one of the dominating style sectors.

Into this hotly contested environment the Z900 for 2020 is well prepared for the fight with the addition of Kawasaki’s highly praised KTRC traction control and the ability to select from four different rider modes and two power modes.

This rider-centric approach extends to the cockpit area where a 10.9cm multi-function TFT meter screen appears for the first time displaying all the essential rider information plus allowing the rider to interrogate certain reporting functions of the machine using a Bluetooth connection via the unique Kawasaki Rideology App for smartphones.

Functions that can be seen on the smartphone screen when connected via Bluetooth include vehicle information such as remaining fuel, distance covered and maintenance schedule. General settings such as preferred units and date format can be adjusted via Smartphone while the TFT screen itself can also show – with an icon – if a telephone call or email has been received. Need power for the phone or other devices? An under seat USB power socket is just one of the many Kawasaki Genuine Accessory items available for the latest Z900.

Making sure the Z900 tracks in the right direction, the new original equipment tyre is now the much praised Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 and turning darkness into light, the Z900 is equipped with an LED head and tail lamp plus licence plate light and indicators.

Both versions of the Z900 (full power and A2) will be available in the same new colour options in 2020. Those being metallic graphite gray / metallic spark black plus candy lime green / metallic spark black and pearl blizzard white / metallic spark black with the fourth option of metallic spark black / metallic flat spark black.

Like other machines destined for the 2020 Kawasaki range, the Z900 core virtues are maintained and enhanced to create two machines with the same essential personality just larger and even more refined.
