In August last year, Kawasaki launched the Z900 RS SE version overseas, and recently Kawasaki also announced the introduction of this car in China. The new Z900 RS SE version is priced at 149,000 yuan in China, which is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the Z900 RS version, let's take a look at what upgrades the SE version has.
In terms of color matching, Z900 RS SE adopts a new livery, the domestic version gives this livery a new name "Tiger Gold", the new livery design is derived from the classic Paint Ball classic livery of the Kawasaki classic model Z1 launched in 1970, the whole car is based on yellow and with black, the rim and suspension are gold to echo the yellow tone, the SE version of the appearance of "golden sparkle", the Bipu version looks very imposing.

In addition to the difference in color matching, the SE version has also been upgraded in configuration.
The front suspension was replaced by a very obvious gold front suspension, but don't get me wrong, this set of gold front suspension is not Orins, but the same 41mm inverted fork as the general version, which supports compression rebound preload adjustable, rear suspension is really upgraded to Orins, using The Olins S46 mid-mounted multi-link single gun rear suspension, equipped with independent aluminum alloy external cylinders, with preload rebound damping adjustable, but also equipped with a quick preload adjustment knob.
In terms of braking, the front brakes were upgraded to the Brembo M4.32 contraverse four-piston radiant caliper with 300mm dual discs, with a Nissin direct push-up pump and metal brake tubing, while the rear brakes were single-piston calipers with 250mm single discs.
The engine part is still a 948cc in-line four-cylinder water-cooled engine, with a maximum horsepower of 101 hp, an explosion at 7500 rpm, a maximum torque of 95 Nm, and an explosion at 6500 rpm, equipped with a sliding clutch.
Although the Z900 RS SE is a vintage car, it still offers KRTC traction control and dual-channel ABS for safety.
Z900 RS is one of the few four-cylinder retro models in the current trade model, but its high price also makes riders prohibitive, it seems that the four-cylinder dream of riders is not so easy to achieve.
