New Z900RS Pre-ad

No centerstand, passenger pegs like 12" below the dipfrick seat which has no provision to tie on luggage. Real useful. All it is is a slightly better styled piece of modern sportbike. Useless. The paint looking like a 1973 is the *only* resemblance to a Z1. All the good parts of the original bike are removed except the modern engine. I don't believe they are going anywhere with this idea.

And that's before the rider and passenger sit on the bike and compress the rear shocks. Then imagine what happens when the bike hits a bump. The passenger's knees will be next to their ears. Ed

BRING IT !!!

Slightly longer tail, a thicker seat, a GOOD set of twin shocks and let's see the engine.

To me, the tank is more reminiscent of a Zephyr than a Z1.

Zephyr made to look like a Z1.

The 900 is nice but I wish they'd make something like this too.

Been trying to find any available specifications on this New bike but only have found so far:

Wet weight 476 lbs.
110 BHP
57.87" wheelbase
34" width of handlebars

Anyone else have anymore to add ?

Supposed to be shown an the International M/C Show in New York Dec. 1, 2017

I'm hoping it will be out here on the West Coast in Long Beach, Ca. Nov. 17, 2017 ?

Looks like there is a " Single " muffler on the right side of the bike now ( possibly a 4into1 ) if that is the Production bike we see on the Video ?

Probably won't be revealed until the Tokyo Show in Japan

I emailed Kawasaki to see if this bike will make an appearance at the Long Beach International Motorcycle Show Nov. 17th-19th ?

No answer from them
