The new Z900 is here - and we were the first to test it! On the bends of southern Spain, Kawasaki's bestseller shows what it's made of: New quickshifter, 6-axis IMU and a further refined 948cc four-cylinder with 124 hp.
What did we experience? An incredibly sophisticated naked bike that inspires both beginners and experienced riders. The new quickshifter is a revelation, the electronics state-of-the-art and the handling? Pure joy!
