Kawasaki Z900 is a streetfighter available in two variants in India - Standard and Special Edition. This Special Edition gets all the updates from the 2020 model except a BS6 compliant engine. The Kawasaki Z900 uses a 948cc, inline-four cylinder engine that generates 123.3bhp of power and 98.6Nm of torque.
Kawasaki’s Z800 was the most affordable CBU available from Team Green in India, and also the most affordable four-cylinder model in the lineup. If you preferred a little more oomph and a lot more style, there was the Z1000 as well. The Z900 replaces both models in most markets with a combination of light weight, and in the case of the Z800, more power. The Z900 clocks in at 12bhp more than the Z800 and weighs a massive 23kg less, thanks to a new trellis frame. Its performance is further enhanced by a short ratio gearbox. It now gets a slipper and assist clutch which means the lever is light and progressive. There isn’t ride-by-wire throttle or any other modern electronics to speak of, with the exception of ABS. The suspension is adjustable for everything except compression.
The Z900 is available in three paint schemes – grey/red, black/white, and all black. The tail section leaves a little bit of the subframe exposed, and the subframe is coloured the same as the graphics and the wheel rims, which makes for a very alluring new look. Competition includes products like the Suzuki GSX-S750, Ducati Monsters 797 and 821, Yamaha MT-09, and the Triumph Street Triple 765.
The average of the Z900 [2018-2019] is 15 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.

I ride this kawasaki z900 many time. I have taken this bike to rajasthan and many more places. Amazing bike with amazing smoothness. This is the best naked look in the automobile industry. Nice led, tires very good' handle bar easy to handle and not harmful for shoulders. This bike need traction control & cruise control system is required. the kawasaki z900 is the best super bike.

Best naked under 10 lakhs

Had a chance to take z900 for a short spin while my versys 650 was being serviced. To start with, the clutch felt little heavy and its very aggressive bike, might need few days to get adjusted with the power of this engine. Coming from versys 650, the z900 felt very compact and easy to ride bike in city. Heat management is wonderful, never felt any heat riding in bumper to bumper traffic being a 948 cc engine. The best part of the bike was the gearing, i was doing 40-50 kmph in sixth gear without the need to downshift which is great. Being a naked, the wind blast is intense as the bike can achieve 100 kmph in no time. I'm waiting for the 2020 bsvi model to be launched to book mine as the upcoming model will have traction control and tft head unit which makes it more modern. All in all, it a true value for money machine from team green and i hope they price the 2020 model competitively as the old version which will help them with decent sales numbers in future.

An amazing machine for speed demons and tourers...

The Z900 is an amazing machine. Looks, acceleration, speed, nimble and gorgeous. I own one since over a year and have done around 13000 kms along with a cross country 2600 km tour. My review as so -1. Design -- 5/5 -- It looks gorgeous. Sharp yet subtle lines. Colour combo (mine is red) is beautiful. Low stance / seating is great for me (Height 5'7" with 31" inseam)2. Quality -- 4.5/5 -- Great quality. Even after 13000 kms, there is hardly any squeaking noise or loose rattling due to vibrations.3. Performance -- 4/5 -- Amazing acceleration due to high bhp/ton value. Have touched a top speed of 235 kmph with still some grunt left in the motor. Braking is very good with ABS working well. Some find the ABS too intrusive but I never felt it so. That maybe so due to my 60/40 braking. Handling is very nimble. Even at speeds of 30, I don't feel the weight. Great for city rides. Cornering is a breeze thanks to precise chassis and suspension. 4. Ride quality -- 4/5 -- Seats are bit hard, especially for the pillion. Stiff suspension makes for bumps reaching the rider. But that again can be negated by suspension tweaking. Forward stance may take a toll on you at low speeds in city, but cruising above 100, the wind force pushes you back enough for a comfortable ride.5. Value for money -- 5/5 -- All this performance at the price is a dream come true. All wannabe superbikers can blindly go for it.6. Service -- 5/5 -- Kawasaki have a very good service network and professional team who handle your bike and it's problems very well. Heck, initially they even gave me useful advice on handling such a powerful machine. Great stuff there.Cons -- 1. No traction control -- Amateur riders need to be very careful since without TC such high power will need dexterous throttling. 2. Pillion seat may be a bit more softer.3. Mirrors look a bit basic. They do a good job though.4. Instrument cluster is monochrome. Works well with lot of info but design is basic. Needs a coloured TFT to match other brands like Ducati.All in all, a great machine from Kawasaki who themselves have a great setup in India.

Tips for other riders
Ride careful and responsibly as this is a powerful machine without traction control. You treat this bike lightly or complacently and it will toss you out in a jiffy.
