That Lime Green on the Z900RS Cafe just works, in every sense. Expressing the homage to the Z1 through a modern bike without it feeling forced is genuinely impressive. The bikini fairing's stance is spot on too, and you can really feel the maker's aesthetic coming through. New yet nostalgic at once, that atmosphere is irresistible. It's a lovely thing that people out there ride bikes like this and take care of them.

With the bikini cowl and clip-ons, the café version has that extra flair over the standard—makes total sense it's popular.

Being a 2019 model means it's an early unit, so market value will probably shift a lot depending on condition.

Early units might actually carry a premium value the other way, so depending on condition it could be worth targeting.

A lime green Z900RS Café—any Z1 fan is going to fall for that color instantly.

The Z1 tribute color, right down to how accurately it's reproduced, really shows how serious Kawasaki is about it.
