Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience on mid-to-large displacement bikes, though a confident newer rider could grow into it quickly.
PurposeA do-it-all naked bike built for punchy street performance, spirited cornering, and everyday usability rather than long-distance touring or off-road work.
Rider FitThe 795mm seat height and 210kg wet weight make it manageable for most adult riders, with a fairly upright but sporty riding stance.
CharacterAggressive, torquey, and eager to accelerate, with a raspy in-line four character that rewards a lively, engaged riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a plush touring companion, a passenger-comfortable cruiser, or any kind of off-road capability.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Kawasaki Z900 (70 Kw), with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
