New 2020 Z900 comes with a host of new features. Most notable change is the BS6 compliant engine along with more exciting exhaust sound. The frame is more rigid to take on those corners, the suspension setup is more sporty. Headlight which looks similar to the older version is equipped with LED instead of Halogen bulbs. A very first on the Z900 is the introduction of three-level Kawasaki Traction Control, two power modes, as well as four riding modes – Road, Rain, Sport, and Manual.

Powering the Kawasaki Z900 is the same 948cc four-cylinder engine which is now BS6 compliant. The interesting part is that this powerplant has not lost power or torque figure as it continues to develop 123bhp at 9500rpm and 98.6Nm twisting force at 7700rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via an assist and slipper clutch.
