Kawasaki India has launched the updated 2025 Z900, priced at Rs 9.52 lakh (ex-showroom). This popular street naked motorcycle has received several design, feature, and safety upgrades, making it one of the most well-rounded packages in its class. Bookings are now open, and deliveries are expected to begin soon.
Here’s a full breakdown of what the new Z900 brings to the table.
Design
The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 continues to wear its aggressive design proudly, staying true to Kawasaki’s signature ‘Sugomi’ styling. However, the new model looks sharper and more modern than ever before.
Key design highlights include:
- New LED headlight unit
- Sculpted fuel tank with integrated tank extensions
- Redesigned LED tail-light with a sleek tail section
- Improved visual mass centralisation for a sportier stance
The updated design brings a more contemporary look without straying too far from the Z family DNA.
Features
Kawasaki has significantly bumped up the feature list on the 2025 Z900, making it more competitive than its rivals.
Notable additions:
- 4.3-inch full-colour TFT display
- Bluetooth connectivity with smartphone pairing

- Multiple ride modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Rider Custom)
- IMU-based cornering ABS and traction control

These tech upgrades not only improve the riding experience but also enhance safety, making the Z900 a much more rounded machine.
Engine
The Z900 continues to be powered by the proven 948cc, inline-four-cylinder engine. For 2025, the motor has been tweaked to comply with the latest emission norms without compromising performance.
Engine specs:
- Maximum power: 123bhp
- Peak torque: 97.4Nm
- Gearbox: 6-speed manual with slipper clutch and quickshifter
The inline-four engine remains the star of the show, known for its smooth power delivery and thrilling performance, especially in the mid and top range.
Chassis
Underneath the aggressive bodywork lies the Z900’s steel trellis frame, which continues to offer a great balance of agility and stability.
Suspension and brakes:
- 41mm adjustable USD front forks
- Linked monoshock at the rear
- 17-inch alloy wheels
- Dunlop Sportmax tyres
- Twin 300mm disc brakes at the front
- Single 250mm disc brake at the rear
Together, this setup provides solid dynamics whether you’re commuting, carving corners, or enjoying weekend rides.
Rivals
With its new price tag and features, the Z900 now offers even more value compared to its rivals. It competes directly with:
- Triumph Street Triple R (Rs 10.17 lakh, ex-showroom)
- Ducati Monster
- Yamaha MT-09 (upcoming)
While the Street Triple offers slightly more premium components, the Z900 counters with a bigger engine, better price point, and now, competitive electronics.
Verdict
The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 delivers on multiple fronts—design, tech, safety, and performance. With a more comprehensive electronics suite and an aggressive new look, it makes a stronger case than ever for riders looking for a fun, everyday naked sportbike. For Rs 9.52 lakh, it offers excellent bang for the buck and is now better equipped to take on its European rivals.
