2026 Kawasaki Z400RS – Retro Style, 4-Cylinder Power, Honda CB500SF Rival!

The legendary Kawasaki RS family might be getting a brand-new member! The upcoming 2026 Kawasaki Z400RS is rumored to arrive as a true retro-style 400cc inline-four based on the Ninja ZX-4R platform. With around 77 horsepower, modern features, and timeless Z1-inspired looks, this could be the perfect blend of classic charm and modern performance. But Kawasaki won’t be alone in this game—Honda has just revealed the CB500SF, a naked four-cylinder with about 80 horsepower, introduced at the Chongqing Motorcycle Show. This sets up one of the most exciting rivalries in the middleweight class: Z400RS vs CB500SF. Both carry the spirit of the “mini four” era, bringing back the magic of high-revving inline-fours in a market that’s been waiting for their comeback. In this video, we take a closer look at what to expect from the Z400RS, from its heritage-inspired design, modern suspension, and premium SE variant rumors, to how it stacks up against Honda’s newest four-cylinder rival. Could this be the bike that revives Kawasaki’s Zephyr spirit, or will Honda’s CB500SF take the spotlight?
