Kawasaki has revealed its 2026 model-year Z900RS SE and Black Ball Edition. The SE is priced at ¥1,837,000 including tax, and the Black Ball Edition at ¥1,529,000. Both are powered by a 948cc inline-four and measure 2,100mm long, 815mm wide, and 1,135mm tall, with a 1,465mm wheelbase and roughly 820mm seat height. Curb weight is 217kg for the SE and 216kg for the other. As liquid-cooled naked bikes styled to evoke an air-cooled look, the two grades are differentiated mainly by equipment.

Looking at the spec sheet, the difference between the SE and Black Ball Edition comes down to equipment allocation. Same 948cc inline-four, but even the tiny gap between 217kg and 216kg curb weight is fascinating.
