kawasaki z900 tft display pricelist

This riding season I upgraded my motorcycle from Ninja 400 ABS to Z900 ABS. I was looking for more power and a more comfortable riding posture. My new Z900 delivered both. We clocked a few thousand miles across Washington together. It gave me an opportunity to contrast my Ninja 400 experience with Z900. I distilled them into this article for other riders looking to upgrade. I won’t be talking tech specs or showing pictures of a nice TFT display – there are plenty of those on the internet. This post is about various aspects of experience riding the motorcycle.

Z900 is slightly taller than Ninja 400, but nothing an average human can’t handle. Because the motorcycle is taller it is more comfortable for taller riders, like me. I enjoy not having to bend my knees too much. I flat foot this bike without effort.

Having said that, extra weight is advantageous in side-wind conditions. I was thrown around the freeway like a fly on Ninja 400 when riding in eastern Washington. Not anymore – Z900 is more stable. Additional stability helps when riding by the truck that creates turbulence in the air.

Hands down, this bike has enough torque to create a safe margin around you on the freeway. It isn’t even fair to compare to Ninja 400 because they have vastly different engine displacements. Ninja 400 has 399ccwhile Z900 sports a whopping 948cc. Ninja 400 yields 28.0ft-lbs of torque @ 8000 RPM, while Z900 yields 73.1 ft-lbs.

Z900 tank is slightly larger than Ninja 400 – 4.5 gallons vs 3.7 gallons. However, you could ride much farther on Ninja 400 than Z900 without refueling. Z900 consumes about1.2 gallons of fuel per hour @ 60 mph riding steadily on the freeway.

To start with, Z900 brand new off the lot costs about $11K with fees and taxes and without a trade-in. Of course, there are great used motorcycles on the market and trade-in will bring the cost down. Best time to buy – end of the season. Do not be like me, do not buy a motorcycle in March.

Z900, like any other Kawasaki, or a motorcycle in general, requires oil changes. Oil change intervals are reasonable – the first change at600 miles, then at 3000 miles, afterward every 5000 miles. The best way to go is to change the oil yourself. Labor costs at the motorcycle dealerships are sky-high, up to $120/hour. Instead of shelling $300+ for an oil change, you can buy a Kawasaki oil change kit and do it yourself. It’ll cost you $50.

Z900 has a tangible vibration on the clip-ons. In about 1 hour of freeway riding my hands start to go numb. I can deal with the left wrist easily by resting it on the tank. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for the right wrist. It controls the throttle and must always be engaged. I end up changing the grip angle constantly to keep the blood flowing. The risk of this vibration is that you won’t notice when you lose control of the motorcycle because your hands are numb.

Neither Ninja 400 nor Z900 offer any wind protection out of the box. If you are looking for wind protection – buy a car. On the motorcycle, it gets chilly very quickly, even if the ambient temperature is comfortable. It was 65F the other day and I had to put on 4 layers of clothing to stay warm while crossing Snoqualmie pass at 60 mph.

I noticed that Z900 has better aerodynamics than Ninja 400 in two ways – less wind resistance and better wind deflection away from your body. When riding Ninja 400 directly into the wind, most of the wind was hitting my neck and helmet. It made riding in the wind a constant neck muscle exercise. I had to fight to keep looking straight. On Z900, riding in the comparable wind, I do not have the same experience. My suspicion is that Z900 directs wind equally towards the entire torso and head, reducing neck strain. Ninja 400 seems to concentrate wind deflection towards the helmet and away from the waist. Core muscles are stronger than neck muscles and the core is closer to the center of gravity which makes it more stable. As such, I prefer Z900 over Ninja 400 design.

Z900 has plenty of room to install clip-on accessories. I was finally able to mount my cell phone holder and use it for navigation. I had no space for it on the Ninja 400.

Z900 has a generous number of accessories from Kawasaki and 3rd parties – radiator protector, tail tidy, Akrapovic exhaust, USB port, etc. If you have the time, the money, and energy to customize this bike, you will not be bored.

It is worth sharing a quick word on the app. I love the idea of connecting your bike computer to the phone to track and tune bike performance. The idea is amazing and I wish more manufacturers took it to heart. Kudos to Kawasaki for the initiative.

As a beginner, you want to focus on technique and really polish your riding skills. It would be hard to do on Z900 because it is bulky. You would be terrified to drop it every time you practice a tight turn. In fact, I am not sure I would pass an MSF exam on Z900 today.

Are you guaranteed to kill yourself on Z900 as a first motorcycle? Probably not. But there are many things worse than death – for example, dropping your bike 10 miles away from the dealership, or breaking your leg in front of your crush. It is a risk game. Z900 would be above my safety tolerance for the first motorcycle.

Please note that the parts offered for sale are parts from the manufacturer"s catalogue, we sometimes have to order them especially for you from Kawasaki. Please refer to the Shipping and Delivery section for more information on delivery times.

According to Kawasaki, the Japanese word sugomi, which is woven into their design philosophy, “describes the intense aura or energy given off by a person or object of greatness and felt by the viewer. Someone, or something, possessing sugomi inspires awe, leaves an indelible impression, is daunting in stature or ability, and commands respect.”

The 2022 Kawasaki Z900 ABS reflects this at first sight and had me walking around the motorcycle muttering to myself for at least ten minutes before putting the key in the ignition. It is a beautiful motorcycle, with more than a hint of aggression enhanced by the angular lines, styling and that distinct candy lime green on black trimming. Incidentally, it also comes in a pearl robotic white.

Jumping on the Z900 to ride home, it took a kilometre for me to regret only booking it for a weekend and, as I zipped between traffic on the highway, I seriously contemplated going back to renegotiate a few more days. That is how much fun it was to ride the motorcycle. The 4.3” TFT display is simple to understand, although slightly inconvenient with the menu buttons on the display itself. You can also connect to TFT by Bluetooth but, outside of checking how it works, I didn’t use it much.

When I picked up the bike, it was on Sport riding mode, which is where I left it for the duration of my time with the Z900. I switched to Rain – although there was no rain – and Road modes, just to get a sense but Sport mode was the sweet spot for me. Each mode comes with preset power – high or low – and a specific Traction Control setting – 1 for Sport, 2 for Road and 3 for Rain. There’s also a custom Rider mode but I still have a way to go before I can start fiddling with customising the ride.

In these times of rising petrol prices, Kawasaki’s Economical Riding Indicator, is useful. Whenever you are riding economically, whether commuting or on the open road, the word ‘ECO’ as a graphic shows up on the display. I was constantly checking myself, in terms of how I ride, to try keep fuel consumption low while also enjoying the 948cc 4-cylinder with 92Kw power and 99Nm torque.

My time with the Z900 coincided with the Riders Table, monthly ride-out that started in Cape Town and now also happens in Joburg, as an opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts to enjoy a leisurely ride. Open to all bikes, the Kawasaki Z900 stood out, among the more than 50 bikes that were there. Meeting in Parkhurst, we made our way to Door of Hope in Glenvista in the south of Joburg to drop of donations for the babies before heading out to Capital Craft in Pretoria for lunch and conversation.

While comfortable to ride through the city and on the highways and byways, the Z900 felt a tad restrained riding in the group, where one has to abide by group riding rules, including staying within the pack. So, after lunch, I decided to take the long way home via Hartbeespoort which I didn’t regret one bit. As comfortable at higher speeds as it is in traffic, the wind factor wasn’t much of a bother. On the straights, the exhaust roared in a way that had me both smiling under my helmet and finding reasons to slow down and open the throttle repeatedly. In the beds, it feels solid with just enough grunt to get the heart beating just a little faster as I shifted from left to right and back in the saddle, using the skills I learnt at my last cornering course.

Both the ride home and the ride to return the motorcycle were a bit more relaxed, probably tied to my reluctance to actually get off the Z900. The beauty of my work is that I get to experience multiple motorcycles while the pain of it is that I can’t keep each one that I enjoy riding. My garage isn’t big enough and my pockets aren’t deep either.

The Z spirit finds its latest expression in the Sugomi-styled Z900. Power to the max, instinctive handling and traction control redefine the supernaked experience. LED lights and a TFT display bring the newest tech. Push boundaries and dominate your ride.

Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) features three modes that allow the rider to set the level of electronic assistance for increased rider confidence. Mode 1 provides the least amount of assistance with sport riding in mind. Mode 2 offers earlier assistance and features balanced sport riding support. Mode 3 offers the most assistance, allowing riders to navigate challenging road conditions with confidence.

If you want a sportive bike choose between z900 and street triple... because Diavel looks bit like a cruise bikeAnd again if you come to choose between z900 and triumph then I suggest you choose between brands not bikes because both the bikes are best with no issues but when it comes to maintainence triumph donot usually have spare parts available at the service center.......... As my personal experience you have to wait for over 2-3 months for any kind of part as the spares come from U.K It took about 4 months for me to just get the triumph logos where as kawasaki has got better service than triumph

The 2021 Kawasaki Z900 ups the naked game with a lively, smooth engine, impressive handling along with all-round road manners. However, the bike does not feature any type of electronic rider aid, and neither does it come with a fairing or windscreen, and long before the rider starts to explore the touring potential, and top end performance of the bike, it will have the wind blast get to the rider. Even though it is not a perfect bike, it is designed for easy traffic use.

The 2021 Kawasaki Z900 comes with a new headlight cluster, which is similar to the ‘Z’ series. While it shares the same Sugomy Styling with its predecessors, it sports an all-new bikini fairing, along with a new exhaust design and tail section. A fluid look has been added to the bike’s twin headlight, and the forward-jutting jaw line of the Kawasaki Z900 is mated with its aggressive look. The blacked-out windshield is positioned right above the headlight, and it offers wind protection to some extent. Another exciting new feature integrated in this bike is the negative-lit LCD Speedometer, which is similar to the likes of Ninja 650 and Z650. It also features a cascading, semi-circular tachometer, a large centralised digital speed readout and a gear indicator. The organic shape of the fuel tank fits well with the Sugomy design philosophy.

Powered by a 948cc inline-four engine, the Kawasaki Z900 has the capacity to produce a peak torque of 98.6Nm at 7,700 rpm and a maximum power of 125ps at 9,500rom. The engine’s refinement level is simply exquisite. The engine has the capacity to offer a nice mid-range with a noticeable kick right after 6,000 rpm. To match with its street fighter character, the Kawasaki Z900 features a short-ratio gearbox and the gears are all closely stacked until fifth, while the sixth gear being relatively taller. The cooling system of the Kawasaki Z900 is absolutely noteworthy, and while cruising through heavy traffic roads, there would not be any noticeable heat from the engine, and this is believed to be commendable for a heavy displacement motorbike.

The frame of the Kawasaki Z900 is new as well The Z800’s Cast-Alloy Backbone Chassis has been replaced by the new tubular steel trellis unit that weighs around 13.5 Kgs, 1.5Kg lighter than that of the Z650. Besides the low weight, the seat height of the Kawasaki Z900 is also low at 795mm, making a good proportion even for short riders. Coming to the suspension setup, the front features a 45mm up-side down fork, which comes with stepless adjustability for spring preload and rebound damping. The rear still sports the same horizontally mounted linked monoshock. Overall, the ride quality of the Kawasaki Z900 is good for imperfect road-conditions of India, and bumps at high and low speed and handled well in a predictable manner.

The Kawasaki Z900 comes with wide, well-cushioned seats, which is just big enough to accommodate two adult riders. The seats on the bike are reasonably comfortable for short as well as long rides. The pillion seat is positioned higher; however, it does not come with a backrest. The riding stance is not comfortable enough, with the rider having to bend forward to reach the handlebar. The massive fuel tank gives good support to the knees. The footpegs are positioned a little backward than was necessary. Overall, it can be said that the bike is designed for enthusiasts, rather than daily commuters, as it might be a little uncomfortable for long drives.

For its price, it is not a surprise that the Kawasaki Z900 comes with a range of interesting tech features. Some of the standard features of the bike are listed below:

With a hefty price tag, there is a lot to expect from the Kawasaki Z900 in terms of designs, ergonomics, fuel efficiency, and performance. Overall, it can be said that the Kawasaki Z900 is able to exhibit a fair performance. Even though it comes with an aggressive design to attract young enthusiasts who want to get the feeling of a race track, better performance is expected in terms of mileage and comfort. Despite all the shortcomings, it has much to offer. It gives the feeling of a superbike and there are very few reasons to not buy this machine. The bike has much potential to offer value to its buyers.

Kawasaki Z900 is a high maintenance bike, and in five years it is expected that the total maintenance cost of the bike would be around Rs. 9,09,425. This is supposedly higher than most of its rivals competing in the same segment. Kawasaki has no free service for its Z900.

There are many other motorbikes competing in the same segment as the Kawasaki Z900. To name a few, BMW R NineT Scrambler, Suzuki V Strom 650 XT, Triumph Street Twin, Ducati Scrambler 800 and so on.

For people looking for a superbike equipped with modern tech features, Kawasaki Z900 is an ideal choice. However, superbikes are available for a more affordable price range. Coming to its designs, ergonomics and comfort, Kawasaki Z900 has done a decent job. In terms of fuel economy, it needs improvement. However, it should also be kept in mind that the Kawasaki Z900 is a high-maintenance motorcycle. People fascinated with superbikes and racing bikes can still buy one at a much cheaper price than the Kawasaki Z900.

Kawasaki Z900 is a super bike available at a starting price of Rs. 8,93,000 in India. It is available in only 1 variant and 2 colours. The Kawasaki Z900 is powered by 948cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 123.64 bhp and a torque of 98.6 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Kawasaki Z900 comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Z900 bike weighs 212 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 17 liters.

The Z900 is Kawasaki’s third most potent naked bike on sale in India. It sits between the Z650 and the Z H2 with an asking price of Rs 8,93,000 (ex-showroom Delhi). Kawasaki recently launched an updated model of the Z900 in India with two new colour options.

This Kawasaki Z900 looks relatively youthful with its sharp LED headlight and muscular fuel tank. Its overall design is properly butch, similar to a streetfighter motorcycle.

Powering the Z900 is an inline-four-cylinder 948cc liquid-cooled engine mated to a six-speed gearbox. It develops 123bhp at 9,500rpm and 98.6Nm at 7,700rpm.

Kawasaki also offers a handful of rider aids to make the Z900 safer. The list includes traction control, riding modes (sport, road, rain, ride), power mode, and dual-channel ABS. Furthermore, the Z900 gets other features like LED illumination and a TFT console with smartphone connectivity.

Kawasaki has equipped the Z900 with 41mm telescopic front forks with preload and rebound adjustability while the rear end gets a linked rear shock with preload adjustability. Its braking hardware comprises dual 300mm front discs and a 250mm single rear disc.

You can buy the Z900 in two colour schemes: Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Gray and Metallic Carbon Gray. The Z900 rivals the Triumph Street Triple R, Ducati Monster, and BMW F900R in its segment.

Basic functions available in the app include: telephone, map display, music, calendar, and contacts. Additionally, riders can opt to download third party apps to add to their Kawasaki SPIN library to be able to interact with them on the TFT display. Available apps include Sygic (navigation), SENA (headset communication), and more.

*Kawasaki SPIN app is not intended for use during vehicle operation. Only use SPIN app when the vehicle is not being operated and it is safe to do so.

In line with a price hike for the region, India will receive a new color option for the Kawasaki Z900called Candy Lime Green Type 3. Kawi has been pumping out a bunch of updates for its entire lineup since EICMA 2021, and this is one of the latest developments for the brand.

We all know that team green’s signature color is Candy Lime, and that it can be found on almost every model from the brand. From sportbikes to sport-tourers, it’s almost the go-to shade to get a Kawasakiin.

So far, Indian news outlets like Bike Wale, News Bytes,and Hindustan Times, have caught wind of the new color dropping. Combing the Kawasaki worldwide site reveals that there is no such option available for the inline-four naked from the Japanese brand. Perhaps the only way to get a green Z900 right now would be to opt for the SE variant of the model, which boasts a higher asking price, but with more added goodies to boot like Öhlins suspension—sweet.

Powered by an inline-four with 948ccs to play with, Kawasaki’s middleweight naked bike is a very capable platform to ride on. It’ll keep you entertained with is screamer of an engine that makes 123 horses, and it will keep you entertained with its myriad of features like the 4.3-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone pairing thanks to Team Green’s Rideology app.

Kawasaki India is spreading some Christmas cheer by bringing in the 2020 Z900 to our shores. While Kawasaki claims to have launched the bike, the company has not divulged an exact figure yet. The Japanese bike maker has stated that new Z900 would retail between Rs 8.50 lakh and Rs 9.0 lakh. Even if we consider that Kawasaki does launch this new bike at Rs 8.50 lakh, it would mean that a price hike of nearly Rs 80,000 is in store for the naked over its BS4 version.

But what do you get for the extra money? Obviously, the new bike gets a BS6-compliant engine that witnesses no change in power or torque (125PS and 99Nm) from before. What is new are the extra goodies such as a new Sugomi-inspired LED headlight, a 4.3-inch colour TFT screen and electronic aids.

India Kawasaki Motors Pvt. Ltd. (IKM) announces embark of new Era with the all-new Euro-5 compliance Z900. IKM will be adding the new Motorcycle MY20 Z900 to its family.
