2020 Kawasaki Z900RS & Z900RS Cafe Unveiled

The Kawasaki Z900RS is the manufacturer's impressive attempt at packaging modern mechanicals in a retro design language and the modern-classic has just received an update for the 2020 model year. The 2020 Kawasaki Z900RS and the Z900RS Cafe have been revealed for Japan and the bikes sport new colour options.

Meanwhile, the 2020 Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe, which essentially is the cafe racer version of the motorcycle, gets a lime green paint scheme on the semi-fairing with a white stripe that extends up to the tail section. There's an all-new dull blue paint option on offer as well with a single white stripe that looks different in a positive way. Apart from the paint options, the 2020 Kawasaki Z900RS and the Z900RS Cafe do not get any mechanical changes. The bikes draw power from the same 948 cc in-line four-cylinder engine that has been tuned to develop 108 bhp. This is the same motor that powers the Z900 street-fighter as well but is slightly de-tuned for easy ride-ability.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
