The SE is a worthy further development of the already very sporty and good-natured Kawasaki Z900. But now sporty owners can also do fast laps on trackdays without making any major compromises. The components from Öhlins and Brembo bring real added value, so that the only thing missing is the quickshifter.

powerful engine

high-quality chassis components

strong brake

good ergonomics
