If you are someone who loves sporty naked bikes with raw power, sharp design, and loaded features, then here’s some exciting news for you. Kawasaki has officially launched the updated 2025 Kawasaki Z900 in India at a price of ₹9.52 lakh (ex-showroom). This latest version brings revised styling, new electronic features, and an upgraded Euro5+ compliant engine, making it a more refined and future-ready machine.
Let’s break down everything you need to know in simple words so that you can decide whether the new Z900 is worth considering in the premium middleweight sports bike segment.
What’s New in the 2025 Kawasaki Z900?
Kawasaki has taken the Z900 to the next level with this update. While the core character of the bike remains the same aggressive, powerful, and sporty it now comes with modern design updates, improved ride tech, and better comfort. Let’s go over all the key details.
Updated Styling with Better Comfort
The new Z900 gets a sharper, more aggressive look with a redesigned triple headlight setup. It now looks quite similar to the smaller Z500, giving it a unified family appearance. The LED tail lamp has also been reworked to match the aggressive styling.
One key improvement is the reshaped frame rails that help riders place their feet on the ground more easily especially helpful for Indian riders of average height. Kawasaki has also added extra seat padding for better long-ride comfort.
Features & Electronics
This time, Kawasaki has gone all-in on electronics. The Z900 now features:
- A 5-inch TFT digital display with Bluetooth
- New switchgear from the Ninja 1000SX
- Ride-by-wire technology
- Cruise control for highway comfort
- Bidirectional quickshifter (clutchless up/down gear shifts)
- 5-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) for improved control
- Multiple ride and power modes
- Traction Control
- Dual-channel ABS
These features now bring the Z900 closer to the feature-loaded Triumph Street Triple R and Ducati Monster in terms of technology.
Engine & Performance: Euro5+ Compliant
Under the tank, the 948cc inline-4-cylinder engine remains the same but is now Euro5+ compliant. It produces:
- 125 HP at 9500 RPM
- 98.6 Nm of torque at 7700 RPM
The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and now offers smoother throttle response thanks to the electronic throttle valves.
Better mileage & less pollution:
Fuel economy has improved by 16%, and CO₂ emissions have reduced from 132g/km to just 117g/km, which is great if you are looking for a powerful yet more eco-friendly option.
Suspension, Brakes & Tyres
Kawasaki hasn’t cut corners here either. The Z900 now comes with:
- 41mm upside-down front forks with rebound and preload adjustability
- Rear horizontal back-link gas-charged monoshock (also adjustable)
- Radially mounted Nissin 4-piston callipers
- 300mm front dual discs and 250mm rear disc
- Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres for great road grip
- 5-spoke star alloy wheels
You get front wheel travel of 140mm and rear travel of 120mm, ensuring great handling on both highways and twisty roads.
Colours & Styling Options
In India, the Kawasaki Z900 is available in:
- Matte Grey with Kawasaki Green
- Matte Grey with Red
Both options look premium and sporty. The green detailing is a nod to Kawasaki’s racing heritage.
Competition & Market Position
The Z900 directly competes with:
- Triumph Street Triple R
- Ducati Monster
- Honda CB650R
While the Triumph and Ducati offer slightly more premium electronics and styling, the Z900 offers better value-for-money performance with a proven inline-four engine.
