The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 has arrived in India with a price tag of ₹9.52 lakh, ex-showroom. The latest iteration of this popular naked streetfighter brings substantial technological improvements and design refinements to the table.
The updated Z900 sports Kawasaki’s signature ‘Sugomi’ design philosophy with notable visual changes. The front end gets a new LED headlight inspired by the smaller Z500, making it look sharper and more modern. The fuel tank gets new muscular lines with extensions, while the rear gets an angular LED taillight that matches the bike’s aggressive stance.
Key Electronic Upgrades
The 2025 model gets several advanced electronic systems that improve both safety and convenience:
- IMU-based Safety Systems: 5-axis Inertial Measurement Unit for cornering traction control and lean-sensitive ABS
- Cruise Control: Now standard across the range for highway comfort
- Bidirectional Quickshifter: Clutchless gear changes up and down
- Riding Modes: Three preset modes (Sport, Road, Rain) plus one customizable Rider mode
- TFT Display: 5-inch color screen with Bluetooth connectivity
- Smartphone Integration: Compatible with Kawasaki’s Rideology app for navigation and data access
Performance and Specifications
The Z900 continues to use its trusty 948cc inline-four engine, now updated to meet Euro 5+ emission standards. The powerplant puts out 123 bhp and 97.4 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed transmission. Despite emission compliance updates, the engine still has strong mid-range and top-end performance.
The chassis remains largely the same, with a steel trellis frame, adjustable USD forks and a rear monoshock. But the braking system gets new radial-mount Nissin calipers at the front, and the bike now runs on performance-oriented Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres.
