Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki Z 900 RS Special Edition 2020 An evening in Helvetia
presentation of the Z 900 RS Special Edition 2020
Kawasaki's Swiss branch takes care of the Z 900 RS with a subtly prepared Special Edition. Nothing to do with the Café or Performance versions - it's more a special color, delicately handled.
this Z 900-based reinterpretation of the Z1 is THE neo-retro model from Kawasaki. Its nostalgic design is a success, so be careful when working on it. The S.E. presented here features a deep, elegant grooming based on dark blue with gold stripes and white piping. The tank is the most pampered element, with vintage "Kawasaki" logos around the edges, the "Special Edition" designation under the fuel filler flap, and the series no. inscribed just below.
in the series? Don't you mean "serial number"? No, because this is a limited edition. Only 20 examples of this model will be produced in Switzerland. For those chilly mornings, the importer has installed heated grips.
the Z 900 RS Special Edition will cost an additional 690 Swiss francs, for a total of 13,990 CHF.
