Kawasaki has launched the Z900RS ABS and Z900 ABS Black Edition in Argentina. Both use a 948cc inline-four; the Z900RS adds an IMU and cruise control and costs $25,500, while the Black Edition is priced at $20,900.
The spec sheet is irresistible: Kawasaki keeps the 948cc inline-four but adds an IMU, a bidirectional quickshifter and cruise control to the Z900RS. I get more excited by how far the electronics modernize the $25,500 package than by the nostalgic styling alone.

I want the Z1 character preserved in the inline-four feel, not only the bodywork.
Is the Z900RS bidirectional quickshifter useful in city riding too?
Adding cruise control should pay off on Argentina's long highways.
On long rides it reduces hand fatigue and the attention spent holding speed, though it still needs restraint.
Interesting that the same 948cc base gets two KTRC levels on the Z900RS and three modes on the Black Edition.
That Candy Red Z900RS still nails it with the round headlight and twin gauges.
But $25,500 is steep. A $4,600 gap over the Black Edition takes some thought.
