At the heart of the 2019 Kawasaki Z900 (70 kW) naked motorcycle, Kawasaki features a 948 cc (57.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 99 Nm (73 lb-ft) at 7,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 73.0 x 56.0 mm (2.9 x 2.2 inches) with a 11.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Z900 (70 kW) measures 210.1 kg (463 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
