Motorcycle specifications KawasakiZ 900 SE Performance 2024 The top of the Z 900

It' s customary, almost obligatory, for edgy models in the Kawasaki range to be backed up by a "Performance" version. The Z 900 SE is no exception, adorning itself with a series of elements designed to make it sportier and more provocative.

the SE is already a bloodier model than the original Z 900, with its Öhlins shock absorber, Brembo brakes and more elaborate fork. With the Performance Pack, styling galvanizes all this. The headlamp gains a smoked windshield, the folding seat is covered by a saddle cowl, and the fuel tank no longer fears lightning strikes with its gel protection.

The most hectic of the endowment is just begging to be woken up. Akra, with the right amount of snoring. The Slip-on-line carbon Akrapovic exhaust system gives the 125-hp 4-cylinder more sonic consistency. And a few watts: 1.2 horsepower are released in its breath, accompanied by a weight loss for the bike of 2.1 kg.

Combining SE and Performance, the Z 900 reaches its paroxysm. It won't be able to go any further in terms of efficiency, except by going to a workshop to optimize it more radically.
This is reflected in the budget, which breaks the 13-plate barrier. The Performance package alone costs 1,400 euros - Kawa thus offers a 300-euro customer advantage over separately priced accessories.
