Kawasaki’s 2025 Z900 and Z900 SE bring smart refinements to an already beloved platform, blending classic inline-four power with modern tech and impressive value. We took the upgraded SE model for a ride through the streets of Miami and onto the track at Homestead-Miami Speedway to test its versatility—and it delivered. With a smooth, torquey 948cc engine, improved emissions and fuel economy, new ride modes, a six-axis IMU, cruise control, and premium Öhlins and Brembo components on the SE, the Z900 proves it’s still one of the best all-around naked sportbikes available. Whether commuting, carving canyons, or chasing lap times, the Z900 SE hits the sweet spot between performance, comfort, and affordability.
