Context
Why does this story matter?
Since 1972, the Kawasaki Z series has been known for providing high-performance inline-four engines at a relatively competitive price. The Z900 is essentially a successor to the capable Z800, which was in production between 2013 and 2016. The former was introduced to comply with the Euro 5 emission norms. The 2023 model retains the potent 948cc, four-cylinder mill from the previous generation.

The motorcycle flaunts a muscular fuel tank and side-slung exhaust
The 2023 Kawasaki Z900 is available in two color schemes: Metallic Phantom Silver with Metallic Carbon Gray and Ebony with Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Gray. It features a high-tensile trellis frame, a 17-liter muscular fuel tank, a wide handlebar, split-type seats, a side-slung exhaust, an angular LED headlamp, and a sleek LED taillight. The motorcycle gets a 4.3-inch colored-TFT instrument cluster and 17-inch wheels.
Information
It is available with a 948cc, inline-four engine

Safety

In terms of rider safety, the Kawasaki Z900 comes equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS, traction control, and four riding modes: Sport, Road, Rain, and Rider.
