This add hits close to home. My dad had the original z1. As a kid in the 80's me and my friends would climb up the bike and pretend to be screaming down the road. We also thought it was the most amazing thing seeing a speedometer that read up to 160mph.

Thank you, Kawasaki, for not creating another TRANSFORMERS/INSECT ABOMINATION. Well played making it look classic while using all modern commodities. Hope you sell a ship load.
My dad still has his '73 Z1 in root beer and orange that he bought new. So many memories of it when I was super young, and tons more of riding it as I got older. Definitely will be looking into one of these when they release.
Cool man, I am restoring two 78's (KZ650 B, and an SR) over the winter. I want to see one of these in person. Been waiting for a performance retro to come out. 90HP may not do it for me (Thruxton / BMW) this may get the job done.
My dad's Z1 has always had the 4 into 1 Hooker exhaust, so I actually prefer the exhaust how it is, haha. Do agree though that spoked wheels would have been better looking.

My last bike was a 2004 Yamaha FZ1 which was an absolute "Cadillac" in terms of comfort and power...I haven't hadnt ridden in almost 8 years until I bought the z900rs...there is something satisfying and soulful about a bike like the Z900rs that sport/race bikes and cruisers can't provide!. That said, I did make a few small mods to my Z900rs that I think are essential (16 tooth counter sprocket, center-stand, etc.)...probably the finest bike Ive ever ridden or owned. :)
I had one in 77 ! I was the man!! In 2000 got a w650 I'm still the man! My son still has the H2 that my ex rode and last year he bought a Vulcan ! We love Kawasaki
Will be getting my RS in July (Birthday). Performance model and the best colour, root beer/black. Give it a few months and there will be a 4 into 4 system available. Ben
No XSR and SCR looks better, there's something missing in the bike otherwise it would be perfect. The things arund engine should have looked more retro. Honda SR400 and CB1100 are my fav.
Aaaaarrrggghhh! I love this thing! Nothing, and I mean *nothing* has made my heart jump as much as seeing this re-imagining of the legendary Z-1 (two of which - a '73 original and a '78 Z-1R are in my garage). People complain that it doesn't have twin shocks and a 4 into 4 exhaust. Me? I'm cool with the new design. Time marches on, people. We can't live in the past. I would happily buy this bike, throw a set of soft luggage and a tank bag on it and speed off across the country, big smile on my face, enjoying every mile. This may actually be the bike that causes me to sell my beloved Sportster (yeah, got one of those too). I wonder if my Kawi dealer would take a trade-in?
Ray Navarrette : It has been a year since.. In case you have had it, I’m pretty sure you’ve experienced a pleasant surprise upon seeing how refined a Kawi is compared to Harleys.
love the new model! If I had not already bought the 2017 z900 in july I may have went this route! kinda like a reto mod o a car classic looks with modern updates!

This Ad is brilliant. It captures the essence of a retro bike perfectly especially with the polaroid picture!
Copied from cb1100 commercial
La possiedo dal marzo 2019, tutti mi fermano per dire che è la moto più bella...erano a bordo di BMW mastodontiche per me!!!
It´s only the best Ad ever made. The best Ad for the most beautiful Bike ever. I love mine, everything on her is magnificient.
Ive bought the Z900 this August (awsome bike) . This talks to me. After all I was born 1968.
Keep going old timer :) You guys inspire me to keep riding till I die. I was born in 1992.
I was born in 1950. Had a Z1 that I went to college on. Looking at the Z900RS for my 70th birthday present. Kawy does it again.

Wow. I think this is the first retro looking bike that I think I could actually buy. Looks much better than the photos of I've seen.
That's Kawasaki for you...simply awesome
Oh my god...I'm in love...
Presenting, the King Of Retro.
Thank you, Kawasaki, for not creating another TRANSFORMERS/INSECT ABOMINATION.
Well played making it look classic while using all modern commodities. Hope you sell a ship load.
JIGA BACHI exactly how many of us feel
Jaja
JIGA BACHI Its going to be pricey thats for sure
base model will be under £10k and the one with spoked wheels and 4 into 4 will be a few hundred more.
JIGA BACHI Absolutely agree ,finally a good looking Kawasaki, and dial gauges, oh yeah.
You guys get a solid golf clap for that video. Nice job!
My dad still has his '73 Z1 in root beer and orange that he bought new. So many memories of it when I was super young, and tons more of riding it as I got older. Definitely will be looking into one of these when they release.
Andrew Erichsen, so does my dad! 1,750 Miles on the clock...
Kawasaki are in roll.First ninja 1000 then ninja 400 now this piece of art
Looking pretty classy right there.
TheSighBored would love to see you riding one of these
I would like to have a ride on one of these too, we'll see how it goes if I do have any opportunity to get my hands on them. :)
That exhaust note is eargasmic!
just how a motorcycle to look. Pure Machismo
kawasaki its a very good two wheeler manufacturer...thanks japan and thanks kawasaki..
It's 2024 now. And i am watching the third generation. What a legendary bike
Where do I put down my deposit? My first bike was a 1978 KZ650. I have not been this excited for a new model since the 1980's.

KoiDomeLimited I still have my 83 KZ750 and I feel you this sure is a one mad looking bike.
Finally a performance retro bike nearly everyone can agree is stunning and exactly what it should be. I hope to buy one!
Now that's a good looking bike!!✌✌!!
That was really good
Well done Kawasaki! Everything is just perfect!
Kawasaki is King

All I can say that Z900RS is a piece of art, really beautiful!
I had a 73 z1 900 back in the 80s loved that bike mad max machine would love to get my hands on one of the new ones

This new model is as far from the old and best Z1 than I am from the moon! Sorry Kawasaki you haven't won me over! Even though I am a Kawasaki man
Brings back a lot of memories many above the speed limit.
As a 1975 Z1 prior owner, good commercial, heartfelt. 1982 1000 LTD present owner
Smashed it out of the park with this one. AWESOME!
I had one in 77 ! I was the man!! In 2000 got a w650 I'm still the man!
My son still has the H2 that my ex rode and last year he bought a Vulcan ! We love Kawasaki
Looks like this might be the highest performance modern retro bike when it releases. And the styling is great too!
Two gens of Z-Rex....love it. I will take both...KZs have always been where it's at.
This one's a real winner!!!....Great Job Kawasaki....Watch out Triumph!!
I have that original Z900 plus a Suzuki 750 triple. Gonna get the RS now !
Wow!! This is damn beautiful!! Thank you Kawasaki!! #wantonesobad!!
i love everything about this bike.
1st mod is a classic duel exhaust system....then metal flake green. True spirit...indeed
What a gorgeous machine. Wanting one so much right now.
That's so badass and I'm not even a Kawi guy. Classy looking ride.
Sublime.. Absolutely stunning
Nailed it... I love it, I'm getting it!
First nice looking bike Kawasaki has made since the last ZRX1200 rolled off the production line back in 2005. Only took them 13 years.
What a cool bike you've made Kawasaki!
Will be getting my RS in July (Birthday).
Performance model and the best colour, root beer/black.
Give it a few months and there will be a 4 into 4 system available.
Ben
Magnificent, amazing design! Please, please, please Kawasaki, make a Versys with this engine, frame and rider aids!!!!
ついに来た！温故知新、懐古だけじゃない最新鋭を積んだカワサキのレトロ路線の解釈。これは売れなきゃ嘘でしょ！
Much better looking retro than Yamaha XSR models.
And Yamaha has the gall to call the XSR a tribute to the XS650!
The XSR700 isn't bad but the 900 is FUGLY. This RS is so much better.
No XSR and SCR looks better, there's something missing in the bike otherwise it would be perfect. The things arund engine should have looked more retro. Honda SR400 and CB1100 are my fav.
Suraj Tomar Yet everyone is in love with this looks of this Kawasaki.
Beautiful... thank you Kawasaki for this masterpiece ❤️ 👌🏼
Best motorcycle I ever had.
As a zrx owner this makes me happy
Hello Kawasaki, why are you not launching this in India.? Please launch this in India
It's the season for new bikes! And I love it!
I want one! At last a proper retro. Well done Kwaka!
my motorcycle for the summer 0f 2019!!!. take my money!!!
Looks even more beautiful on video. I'm falling in love here

Thank you Kawasaki, great looking bike. I love my 2017 Ninja 1000.
I will have both in my garage too. Along side the Harley's of course.

The original with the 4 into 4 exhaust still looks the best.
Aguardamos a sua chegada no Brasil. Será um privilégio a termos aqui!
