Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Here's the cafe take on the Z900 RS retro machine. Based on the Z900 naked bike, this version is detuned a bit, with an emphasis on street-friendly power further down the rev range—just like the original. It makes up for that detuned engine with a proper adjustable suspension and decent brakes.
