The 2023 Kawasaki Z900 ABS carried an original U.S. MSRP of $9,399–$9,699, while the Z900 SE was listed at $10,899. Both use a 948cc liquid-cooled inline-four rated by Kawasaki at 73.1 lb-ft of maximum torque at 7,700 rpm. The SE’s premium is reflected in its Öhlins rear shock and Brembo front brakes. These are model-year MSRPs, not current used-bike prices or out-the-door quotes.

2023 Kawasaki Z900 price: original U.S. MSRP

Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., listed the 2023 Z900 ABS at $9,399–$9,699, depending on the offered configuration. The 2023 Z900 SE was listed at $10,899. The manufacturer’s specification sheets provide original model-year MSRP, not a present-day valuation or dealer transaction price. Kawasaki’s 2023 Z900 ABS specifications and 2023 Z900 SE specifications are the source for those figures.

On the original listed prices, the SE was $1,200–$1,500 above the standard ABS model’s range. That is an MSRP comparison only; it does not establish what either trim is worth used or what a buyer will pay today. Used-bike comparisons depend on the individual motorcycle’s condition, mileage, service records, location, title status, modifications, and any dealer or private-sale fees.

What separates the Z900 from the Z900 SE?

The central documented distinction is equipment, especially the rear shock and front brakes. The SE keeps the same listed engine and maximum torque figures as the standard model but upgrades those components.

Item 2023 Z900 ABS 2023 Z900 SE
Original U.S. MSRP $9,399–$9,699 (Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., 2023) $10,899 (Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., 2023)
Rear suspension Horizontal back-link arrangement; stepless rebound damping and adjustable spring preload (Kawasaki, 2023) Öhlins S46 gas-charged shock; adjustable rebound damping and remote adjustable spring preload (Kawasaki, 2023)
Front brakes Dual 300mm discs with ABS (Kawasaki, 2023) Dual semi-floating 300mm Brembo discs with radial-mount Brembo M4.32 monobloc four-piston calipers and ABS (Kawasaki, 2023)
Curb weight 467.5 lb (Kawasaki, 2023) 469.7 lb (Kawasaki, 2023)

Both trims use a 41mm inverted front fork with rebound damping adjustment, according to their specification sheets. Kawasaki defines curb weight as including operating materials and a full tank above 90% capacity; the standard-model sheet notes that California evaporative-emissions equipment adds approximately 2.2 lb. The listed figures therefore should be read in that manufacturer context.

Engine and performance specifications

The Z900’s engine is a four-stroke, four-cylinder, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled unit with 948cc displacement. Kawasaki lists maximum torque at 73.1 lb-ft at 7,700 rpm for both the ABS and SE trims. Each specification sheet also lists a six-speed return-shift transmission and sealed-chain final drive.

It also specifies a TFT instrument panel and smartphone connectivity through RIDEOLOGY THE APP. These are manufacturer-listed features; the specifications do not provide horsepower, acceleration times, or independently measured performance figures, so those numbers are not included here.

The standard model’s listed rear brake is a single 250mm disc. The SE specification sheet lists its curb weight as 469.7 lb, so it should not be described as weighing the same as the standard ABS trim.

2023 Kawasaki Z900 photos and color identification

Kawasaki’s official specification sheets include product images for both trims. The standard Z900 ABS was listed in Metallic Phantom Silver/Metallic Carbon Gray and Metallic Spark Black/Metallic Graphite Gray/Metallic Flat Spark Black. The SE was listed in Metallic Spark Black/Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray/Candy Lime Green; its lime-green accents and upgraded Öhlins and Brembo hardware help distinguish it in photos.

For images that identify the motorcycle accurately, pair each photo with its trim and model year rather than labeling every Z900 as an SE. Kawasaki’s official owner center also provides a route to manuals and parts diagrams for the 2023 Z900 ABS.

What the specifications do—and do not—tell buyers

The manufacturer’s sheets establish the original U.S. MSRP, listed equipment, and dimensions for the 2023 model year. They do not establish current used asking prices, transaction values, fuel economy, ownership costs, or independent road-test performance. Kawasaki notes that specifications may change, so the 2023 figures should not be treated as specifications for a different model year. For a used listing, confirm the year, trim, condition, and equipment on the specific motorcycle rather than relying on a photo or generic model description.
