A legacy … Yes, but a heavy legacy to bear. Using the codes and colors of the Z1 is a very strong call to nostalgia. The Z 900 RS must be worthy of it, capable of providing driving pleasure to all, satisfying the curiosity of revival-boys, enduring a few jokes, and giving RS more than Z 900. Style question, the exercise is successful.
On the pleasure side, the 4-cylinder knows how to delight the user. Watts, responsiveness, a smoother and less aggressive side than the streetfighter, and for this Performance edition, the greedy song of a more expressive exhaust. Kawasaki perpetuates its confidence in Slovenian exhausts by grafting an Akrapovic S-K9SO5-HBAVTBL. A beautiful piece in titanium blending into the vintage spirit of the Z. As a bonus, a gain in weight and power, quantifiable at 1 horsepower and a tenth of a mkg – anecdotal but above all it is the sound and the quality of the ‘Akra that we will remember.
The Performance Pack of the Kawa Z 900 RS is not enough with a silencer. He wants to take care of the engine by sucking a pair of crankcase guards. The tank is also entitled to protection, a small self-adhesive gel pad.
The equipment has a price, admittedly more interesting than the parts taken apart individually. But added to the already certain price of the RS, the addition gives food for thought. Except that heart strokes and gas rarely act in concert with reason.
