Kawasaki Z900RS 2025 – Timeless Classic, Modern Beast
If you’re thinking about a Kawasaki “2900”, it’s almost certainly the **Z900RS**—a 948 cc inline‑four that revives the legendary Z1 style while packing today’s tech. It’s the perfect fusion of retro cool and modern performance.
#### 🕰️ Classic Styling with Modern Precision:
The 2025 Z900RS channels the iconic ’70s Z1 spirit—bullet-shaped analogue dials, teardrop tank, trellis frame—while integrating contemporary touches: full LED lighting, a modern 5″ TFT display embedded between vintage gauges, and stainless steel exhaust tuned for that nostalgic rumble ([kawasaki-india.com][1]).
#### ⚙️ Engine & Performance:
Under the skin is the same smooth **948 cc inline‑4** that puts out around **111 PS** (123 bhp) and **97 Nm torque**, refined to Euro 5+ standards and now more fuel-efficient (\~16% gain) thanks to updated cam profiles ([financialexpress.com][2]). The ride is smooth, powerful, and emotion-packed.
#### 🛠️ Tech & Rider Aids:
2025 brings a richer electronics suite: IMU-based ABS, traction control, **cruise control**, cornering management (KCMF), and ride-by-wire—all managed beautifully via the TFT screen, including turn-by-turn navigation and voice-control-ready functions ([kawasaki.eu][3]).
#### 🧭 Chassis & Comfort:
A chassis built for balance: a lightweight trellis frame, 41 mm adjustable inverted front fork, and horizontally linked rear multi-adjustable shock. Upright, comfortable ergonomics make it ideal for both city rides and long hauls ([kawasaki-india.com][1]).
#### 📍 India-Specific Launch & Pricing:
Expected to launch in India by **April 2025**, with an anticipated ex‑showroom price of **₹9.60–10.00 lakh**—slotting it below the Z900 and above the Z650 ([bikewale.com][4]).
