Ini menggantikan Z800 dalam jajaran roadster telanjang Kawasaki, menampilkan mesin inline-four 948cc baru dan gaya agresif yang terinspirasi Sugomi.

Apa yang Harus Diketahui Pembeli
Strong Long-Term Reliability
The Z900's inline-4 engine is known for exceptional durability, commonly reaching 50,000+ miles with proper maintenance. Valve clearance checks every 15,000 miles are the most critical service item to stay on top of.
Watch for Stator Issues
Early 2017-2019 models had reported stator and charging system failures, which can leave you stranded. Always check the charging voltage on used bikes and verify if any recall or dealer service was performed.
Holds Resale Value Well
The Z900 consistently holds strong resale value due to high demand in the naked bike segment and Kawasaki's solid reputation. Low-mileage examples typically retain 70-80% of their value after two years.
Generasi & Spesifikasi berdasarkan Tahun
Original Z1 900cc DOHC inline-four, 82hp, rangka downtube ganda, debut mesin berpendingin udara ikonik.
"Sepeda yang menulis ulang aturan sepeda motor dalam semalam."
Tidak ada yang pada tahun 1972 yang mempersiapkan Anda untuk menarik pedal gas di Z1 — inline-four itu terus memanjat, berteriak melewati tempat kembar Inggris menyerah dan mati. Saya telah menaiki ranjau dari pantai ke pantai dua kali, dan mesinnya tetap menjadi empat berpendingin udara paling berkarakter yang pernah dibaut ke rangka jalan; serp mekanis pada 7.000 rpm masih mengangkat rambut. Rangka double-downtube adalah kelemahan yang nyata — bentuknya terasa di bawah pengereman keras, dan drum depan pada model awal pada dasarnya dekoratif di atas 160 km/jam. Sinkronisasi karbohidrat jatuh setiap beberapa ribu mil, kebocoran oli dari paking kepala adalah ritual peralihan, dan listrik adalah Jepang pertengahan 70-an, yang berarti rapuh dan temperamental — tetapi tidak ada yang menghentikan mesin ini untuk mempermalukan segala sesuatu di jalan selama tiga tahun berturut-turut.
Kelebihan
Kekurangan
Berganti nama menjadi Z900, penyempurnaan kecil, gaya yang diperbarui, peningkatan keandalan dibandingkan desain Z1 asli.
"Raja halus, masih kasar di tepinya."
Kawasaki mengambil formula 903cc Z1 yang menggelegar dan mengampelas tepi terburuk untuk '76-'77 — Z900 yang diganti namanya terasa lebih tersortir daripada pendahulunya, dengan perakitan yang lebih ketat dan lebih sedikit masalah tangisan minyak awal yang mengganggu pemilik aslinya. DOHC four itu masih menarik seperti kereta barang dari 4.500 rpm ke atas, dan lonjakan ke puncak 8.000 rpm benar-benar membuat ketagihan, nada knalpot di suatu tempat di antara lolongan mekanis dan sesuatu yang membuat tetangga benar-benar marah. Tetapi 258 kg adalah angka nyata — manuver kecepatan lambat di tempat parkir menuntut rasa hormat, dan drum depan dengan sepatu kembar pada contoh awal adalah tanggung jawab nyata dalam lalu lintas modern; versi yang dilengkapi cakram selanjutnya jauh lebih aman. Rangkanya terasa melengkung di tikungan tengah pada landasan yang kasar, dan jika Anda mendorong keras ke tikungan bergelombang, motor ini mengingatkan Anda bahwa motor itu direkayasa ketika 'dinamika sasi' belum menjadi prioritas bagi pabrikan Jepang.
Kelebihan
Kekurangan
Z900 modern serba baru, inline-four berpendingin cairan 948cc, rangka teralis, 125hp, gaya streetfighter telanjang.
Gaya yang direvisi, tampilan TFT yang diperbarui, ergonomi yang ditingkatkan, peningkatan daya dan penyempurnaan sasis ditambahkan.
Ulasan Pembeli Bekas
"The used streetfighter benchmark that rivals struggle to beat at this money."
$6,500-$9,500 usedThe Z900 is one of those bikes that punches well above its price point in the used market. Kawasaki got the formula right when they launched it in 2017 — 948cc inline-four, around 125bhp, chassis that actually communicates rather than just pointing and hoping. It replaced the old Z800 and the improvement is significant. Buy a 2020 or newer if you can; Kawasaki added a proper quickshifter and refined the riding modes, which makes a real difference day-to-day. Used examples are everywhere right now, which keeps prices honest. Check the front forks carefully on anything pre-2020 — they're a known weak point and a service or upgrade runs money. Inspect the exhaust headers for heat discolouration suggesting hard use, and verify the throttle bodies haven't been messed with by someone chasing peak dyno numbers. Service history matters more than mileage here. This is genuinely one of the best value streetfighters on the used market. It's fast enough to stay interesting for experienced riders but forgiving enough that you won't binned it leaving a petrol station.
