2018 Kawasaki Z900

Ergonomics

• Natural upright seating with heads-up visibility. Commanding ride position places the rider "in" the bike for a confident and connected riding experience.
• Low seat height and tapered seat shape makes the ground easy to reach at stops. Seat shape is wider at the rear for added comfort and cornering leverage.
• Footpeg position offers a relaxed knee bend for rider comfort.
• Flat handlebar is wide to provide ideal leverage for higher-speed cornering and low-speed maneuvering in city and confined environments.
