Kawasaki Z900 2025 Launched :- Kawasaki has officially launched the 2025 Z900 in India, adding a host of upgrades that elevate its styling, performance, and rider experience. Priced at ₹9.52 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Kawasaki Z900 remains a favorite among motorcycle enthusiasts who love aggressive styling, thrilling performance, and modern technology. For 2025, Kawasaki has not only refreshed the aesthetics but also introduced a refined electronics package that promises to make the ride more intuitive and engaging than ever before.
Engine & Performance: Now Smoother Than Ever
At its core, the 2025 Kawasaki Z900 retains the 948cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four-cylinder engine. This powerhouse produces 125 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 98.6 Nm of torque at 7,700 rpm. While the displacement and basic hardware remain unchanged, Kawasaki has tweaked the ECU tuning and camshaft profiles to improve throttle response and deliver smoother low-end power.
These subtle internal revisions enhance both ride quality and fuel efficiency. Riders will notice improved tractability at lower RPMs, making the bike more comfortable for city use without compromising its aggressive DNA on the open road.
New TFT Display & Connectivity Features
One of the major highlights of the 2025 Z900 is the 5-inch full-color TFT instrument cluster, replacing the older semi-digital console. The display is crisp, modern, and offers two different layout options, catering to rider preference. It features Bluetooth connectivity via the Kawasaki Rideology app, allowing users to sync their smartphone for turn-by-turn navigation, ride logs, and incoming call alerts.
In addition, the TFT display integrates various ride metrics such as lean angle, gear position, fuel economy, and even maintenance alerts, providing an advanced and immersive interface for today’s tech-savvy riders.
Advanced Rider Aids & Electronics
Kawasaki has taken a big step forward with the 2025 Z900 by introducing ride-by-wire throttle, which enables new features like:
- Electronic cruise control
- Power mode selection
- Three-level Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC)
- Bi-directional quick-shifter
Additionally, the Z900 is equipped with a five-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), which allows the bike’s safety systems—like ABS and traction control—to respond more accurately in corners and varying road conditions. This makes the new Z900 not just thrilling, but also much safer and more refined to ride.
Design & Build: Sharp, Mean & Modern
The 2025 Z900 stays true to Kawasaki’s Sugomi design language, known for its muscular stance and aggressive edges. The LED headlamp unit has been redesigned to appear more angular and menacing, while the tail section now features sleeker LED elements, enhancing its streetfighter appeal.
New color options and subtle cosmetic refinements—such as updated tank shrouds, aluminum accents, and a revised rear seat—give the bike a fresh, premium appearance. Despite these upgrades, the Z900 remains lightweight and well-balanced, ensuring it retains its nimble handling characteristics.
Suspension, Brakes & Tyres
The suspension setup remains familiar: 41mm inverted front forks and a horizontal back-link rear monoshock, both tuned to provide a balance of sporty dynamics and ride comfort. The braking system features dual 300mm front discs with radial-mounted calipers and a single 250mm rear disc, offering strong and predictable stopping power.
Kawasaki now equips the bike with Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires, which offer excellent grip for both spirited rides and daily commuting.
Final Verdict
The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 is more than just a mid-life facelift. It represents a meaningful evolution of the brand’s popular naked bike. By refining the engine, adding a vibrant TFT display, and introducing premium features like cruise control and a quick-shifter, Kawasaki has ensured the Z900 remains competitive against newer rivals like the Triumph Street Triple, Honda CB650R, and Ducati Monster.
Whether you’re an enthusiast looking for raw inline-four performance or a modern rider who values features and comfort, the Z900 delivers on both fronts. At ₹9.52 lakh, it’s a premium yet justified offering for anyone wanting a true streetfighter experience with Japanese reliability.
