Even the graphics, applied using an advanced immersion method, leave no unsightly raised surfaces. The three-piece front fender uses lightweight die-cast aluminum supports, and the two-tone seat utilizes different materials for the top and sides, double-stitched in the old built-to-last style. The duck-bill tail cowling and oval taillight match the original Z1's design, and surface-emitting LEDs in the tail and headlight maintain the retro look during operation by filling each lens with light, mimicking traditional bulb lamps. It claims a special technique developed to apply the candy flecked paint in layers brings out the distinctive, deep, glossy finish, rich in color. Kawasaki paid uncommon attention to the aesthetics enriching the 50th Anniversary RS. The Z900RS is an outstanding performer on the road, but perhaps its most remarkable attribute is its finishing. Two fingers on the brake lever provide adequate progressive stopping power, although the Brembo brakes fitted to the SE version are better suited to more aggressive riders. Fortunately, the front tire is reasonably assured, and any slides were the predictable type that make you feel like Casey Stoner rather than heading home for a stiff drink. I suspect this has more to do with the Dunlop GP-300 tires fitted to the RS than the traction control setup.
Unlike the new Ninja 6 we tested that stuck to the steering line like glue, the RS does allow for a little rear-wheel slip at street-speeds when you push it. Steering is quick and precise, and although taller in stance than its sportier sibling, it carries its weight well. Like all modern 900cc motorcycles, it is still quick, but you can use all of its power, and for that reason, it is fantastic fun to blast around the canyon roads.
Getting into the open mountain roads and the Z900RS is exactly what it should be, just slow enough that a confident rider can truly test its performance envelope on the street.
The bars are high and wide, and, for my 6-foot-2 frame, the seating position is entirely neutral with a comfortable bend at the knee and arm. The seat is almost too comfy, and I wonder if it will feel precarious in the corners, it doesn’t.

A sound so full of promise that it will have you grinning like an idiot. When you hit the starter button and the inline-four rumbles to life, the first thing you notice is the exhaust note, which is as '70s as flared pants, and settles into a deep purr. As the Brits would say, the RS is drop-dead gorgeous and, just as importantly, it is exceptionally-fun to ride. Based on those criteria, the Z900RS deserves to be a serious contender in the big-bore, retro market. Triumph did a commendable job evoking their storied history to capitalize on the demand for retro machines they also understood that looks are not a substitute for handling and character. If you love classic bikes but prefer to go riding on Sunday rather than play at being a mechanic, a modern retro is a great solution.
