The Z 900RS Cafe is the cafe-racer version of the 2018 Z 900RS, sharing its engine, frame, gearbox and KTRC traction control. It changes the look with a cafe racer front cowl, a reworked tail section, a café-style seat with a pronounced step and a narrow, low bar. It is finished in Vintage Lime Green with broad white stripes, and has black mirrors on shorter stays.
