Kawasaki Z900RS To Get A Special Edition In Japan

Kawasaki is all set to introduce a special - Yellow Ball Edition - of its ongoing model, the Z900RS, in Japan. The Z900RS's design is inspired by the legendary 1972 Kawasaki Z1, with a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and round-shaped headlight. This edition features a yellow and black paint job that pays homage to the Z1's colour scheme. The special edition will be launched on July 15th, 2023, in Japan, and will go on sale along with the standard Z900RS, Z900 RS SE, and Z900 RS Cafe.

According to the brand, "The Z900RS Yellow Ball Edition will appear in the Z900RS series, which was born from a tribute to the Z1 design. The tank mark is set with a heritage Kawasaki emblem that further enhances the Z1 image. From bolts and wheels to instruments, fuel tanks, seats, and tail covers, the Z900RS Yellow Ball Edition brings out even more details. This is a special Z900RS that Kawasaki has carefully nurtured."
