Z900RS
The Z900RS is a retro-styled version of the Z900 first unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Show. "RS" stands for Retro Sports; There is also a café racer version of the bike featuring front bikini fairing, lower handlebars and a taller seat. The engine is also tuned differently, and has a lower-pitched exhaust sound. It went on sale in Japan in December 2017, and arrived in the US in the following year. The color option for the first year included a two-tone, Fireball orange and Candy-tone brown paint, black or green for the café version in the US. In 2023 the SE version became available in the US, which came with an Ohlins rear shock, golden front forks along with Brembo front calipers as well as the Yellow-Ball paint schemes.
