2025 Kawasaki Z900 Launched At ₹9.52 Lakh

The 2025 iteration of Kawasaki's most popular litre-class offering in India, the Z900, has finally arrived on our shores. Priced at ₹9.52 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) it’s ₹14,000 more expensive than the outgoing version and for that extra premium Kawasaki has added quite a few crucial and tasteful upgrades.  

For starters, the updated Z900 now looks more focused and aggressive. The Japanese brand said while debuting the bike last year, that the 2025 Z900 will feel more comfortable to ride. This was achieved by redesigning the seat and adding adjustable functionalities to the key panels and levers – however, the focused-yet-slightly upright rider triangle hasn’t changed. Further adhering to this new character are cosmetic upgrades which include a redesigned headlight cluster and tail light design. Plus, you will also find new brushed metal accents on the sides featuring the 'Z' logo.

Mechanically, the naked sport Kwaker retains that same formidable 948 cc inline-four cylinder engine. But the camshaft profile has been revised which has helped make the mill 16 per cent more fuel efficient. While complying with the latest emission norms, performance output has dropped slightly to 123 bhp and 97.4 Nm, from 125 bhp and 98.6 Nm, before. Additionally, the bidirectional quickshifter has also been updated and it can now be used from as low as 1,500 rpm. Meanwhile, the 6-speed gearbox remained the same. 

Despite the drop in performance, Kawasaki has added a bunch of electronic nannies via a new  IMU-based electronic suite. This now gets you cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, along with four ride modes, and three power modes. To access this new set of controls, the Kawasaki Z900 finally debuts a 5-inch TFT console that supports the brand’s Rideology app. So, connectivity features like turn-by-turn navigation and voice command are also available here. Plus, there are two tachometer displays on offer too. 

Sadly, just like the previous iteration Kawasaki has decided to offer the 2025 Z900 in its standard iteration only, leaving out the SE trim for international markets. Thereby, there are no adjustable suspension or Brembo M4.32 monobloc calipers available. Instead, you get non-adjustable standard USD fork and a monoshock, and the usual – Nissin-sourced dual-floating 300 mm discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers at the front, and a 250 mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper. 

Kawasaki will offer the Z900 with the choice of two shades – Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Gray with Metallic Flat Spark Black and Candy Flat Blazed Green, and Metallic Carbon Gray with shades of Metallic Graphite Gray and Candy Persimmon Red. Deliveries for the new 2025 Kawasaki Z900 have already commenced, and it will compete against the likes of the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS (₹ 11.81 lakh) and the Ducati Monster (₹12.95 lakh, both ex-showroom prices) in the country.
