Kawasaki has detailed the 2027 Z900RS. The 948cc inline-four makes 116 horsepower at 9,300 rpm and 98 Nm at 7,700 rpm. A Bosch IMU now anchors KCMF cornering management, cornering ABS, a bidirectional quickshifter and electronic cruise control, with curb weight held at 216 kg.

Compared with the outgoing bike, adding an IMU basically makes this a different machine. Getting cornering ABS and a bidirectional quickshifter at this level is rare for the segment. Just reading the spec sheet gets my pulse up — this is the good stuff.

How different does cornering ABS actually feel?

216kg at 116hp is a decent balance for the class right now.

Coming from the air-cooled generation, a standard quickshifter alone feels like a big deal.

More equipment probably means the price climbs again — that scares me.

A standard IMU at this price feels almost unfair, in a good way.

With this much electronics, isn't it losing the Z900RS's simple charm?
