The Z900 is equipped with 41mm upside-down forks in the front and a mono-shock at the rear. Both get adjustable rebound and preload. In the braking department, the Z900 has 300mm discs in the front along with four-piston callipers and a 250mm disc with single-piston calliper at the rear. Kawasaki is offering non-ABS version as well for the American market. However, it misses out on traction control system and rider modes, something that is now standard in most big bikes. The Z900 rides on Dunlop Sportmax tyres, with 120/70 R17 at the front and 180/55 R17 at the rear. The fuel tank capacity stands at 17- litres.

Kawasaki is offering the Z900 in two paint schemes – pearl mystic gray and metallic flat spark. However, expect the Indian market to get only one colour at the time of launch. Just like the Z800, the Z900 will also be made in Kawasaki’s Thailand plant and exported to India. Thanks to a much friendly free trade agreement between these countries, the Z900 will attract less duty resulting in competitive pricing. The Kawasaki Z900 competes with the YamahaMT-09 and the DucatiMonster 821 in India.
