Our friends from TMC blog in Indonesia have uncovered what looks like an importer’s manifest (image above) that has something very interesting hiding on row 218: Kawasaki ZR900B!

This could be a new street bike to sit between the Z800 and Z1000, or it could be a brand new modern cafe racer from the green giant.

The reason we suspect the latter to be the case is that the Japanese magazine Young Machine recently commissioned mock ups of new Kawasaki bike bikes, including what they then called the 2017 Z900RS. The bike had funky split exhausts, round-edged headlight and a bright green frame. The Japanese journos are always very well informed about Kawasaki’s future developments, so there’s likely to be more news about the new model soon.

This is what Young Machine believes the new bike will look like:
