Z900RS
[edit]The Z900RS is a retro-styled version of the Z900 first unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Show. "RS" stands for Retro Sports; in Japan there is also a version with café racer looks and a bikini fairing. The engine is also tuned differently, and has a lower-pitched exhaust sound. It went on sale in Japan in December 2017, but only arrived in the United States for the 2023 model year. The first year was only sold with two-tone, red and black paint in the United States. For the 2024 model year, the only color available is Metallic Diablo Black.
