Overview
The Kawasaki Z 900 can be considered a safe bet in its segment. Powerful, playful, easy to grasp, and a little wild when you push it, it knows how to please in many situations.
It could almost offer a little more; and that’s where the Performance version comes in. Almost an institution that this designation is in the Kawa catalog. For this family of Zs, this bonus pack has been present since the Z 800 in 2013. The recipe continues, almost unchanged.
The Performance signature is marked above all with the Akrapovic Slip-on Line S-K9SO6 exhaust. More elegant and more vocal than the original muffler, the Akra allows for a slight gain in power and torque. It will be praised for its sound, and also appreciated for the weight gain, of approximately 2 kilos. For this Z 900 II, a surprise appeared: the exhaust is available in two finishes, titanium or carbon.
The kit is also a matter of style. It includes a seat cover and a small smoked windscreen. We consider fitting the tank with gel adhesive protection. Then, we start the engine, let the 4-cylinder express itself, choose one of the 4 Riding Modes that suits us, and enjoy its 125 horsepower (a little more with the Akra).
