Kawasaki Z900RS

[the Ferret]

On today's ride I met a guy named Rocky. He was riding a Z900. About my age. Bought it last year. Likes it well enough, but said he wished he had waited a year and got the RS. He really liked the CB but not the 17 model. CB drew a big crowd of admirers at the rest stop today. One guy was snapping cell phone pics and another had to tell me about his CB 350F he used to have. lol

VLJ NOT a CB1100RS... a Z900RS!

That sketch was made in 1999 that Ulve posted and the prototype was shown in Tokyo that year. They are NOT building that I can guarantee you.

You can read about that in our history section although the pics are gone

Think it's pretty clear, but I will reiterate

His name was Rocky..last year he bought a Z900 (naked Kawasaki 900 4 cyl). He likes it well enough. But now that Kawasaki has introduced the Z900RS (retro styled Kawasaki 900 4 cyl), he wished he had waited a year and bought it instead.

further ....

He liked my CB1100 (retro Honda 1100 4 cyl), but did not like the 2017 version of the CB 1100 (slightly less retro Honda 1100 4 cyl). There was no mention of the not available in the U.S. CB1100RS (decidedly less retro Honda 1100 4 cyl) by either of us.
