The gap between its neo-retro looks and its Euro5+-compliant current four-cylinder underneath is what I love. Keeping the nostalgic form while clearing today's emissions constraints through technology. Including the equipment differences with the SE, this is a bike I want to compare detail by detail.

What did you think?

Among neo-retro bikes, I personally prefer something like the CB1000 line.

With this level of finish on a neo-retro, long distances should feel great too.

I've been riding it since the first generation, so it's great that they're keeping this look alive.

With Euro5+ compliance, the output and character have probably shifted subtly too.

There are plenty of cases where low-speed torque gets cut for emissions compliance, so I'll wait for a ride review.

Updating the internals while leaving the Z900RS's shape untouched is exactly the right approach.

Is the difference between the SE and the standard version really just the suspension and color?
