Kawasaki Z900 Review

16 Jun, 2025 11:19 AM

Overview

The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 stands as a benchmark in the supernaked segment, continuing its legacy as a motorcycle that blends excitement, technology, and everyday practicality. This latest iteration introduces a host of upgrades designed to appeal to both expert riders and those new to the world of high-performance bikes.

Striking Sugomi-Inspired Design and Rider Ergonomics

Kawasaki’s distinctive Sugomi design ethos is immediately evident in the Z900’s refreshed appearance. The bike features sharper, more compact LED lighting at both ends, with a redesigned LED headlight and taillight that amplify its aggressive stance. Brushed aluminum side panels add to the muscular silhouette, while the overall profile remains unmistakably modern.

Ergonomics have been thoughtfully updated for 2025. The seat height is now slightly taller at 830 mm, offering riders a commanding view of the road and a more forward-leaning posture for spirited riding. Those preferring a lower stance can opt for an accessory seat that reduces the height to 810 mm. The new seat is not only thicker and flatter but also more supportive, making it suitable for both short city trips and extended highway journeys. The handlebar has been widened for improved rigidity, contributing to sharper cornering and a more planted feel.

Potent Inline-Four Engine Performance

At the core of the Z900 is Kawasaki’s renowned 948cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine. For the 2025 model, this powerhouse delivers 124 PS (91 kW) at 9,500 rpm and 97.4 Nm of torque at 7,700 rpm. While peak power is marginally lower than before, the engine now offers a stronger midrange punch and a smoother, more predictable throttle response, thanks to revised cam profiles and new ride-by-wire electronic throttle valves. These enhancements also result in up to 16% better fuel efficiency, with a claimed consumption of just 4.8 liters per 100 km.

The Z900’s engine is celebrated for its tractability and exhilarating acceleration, making it equally at home in city traffic, on twisty backroads, or during long highway cruises. The signature exhaust note remains a highlight, delivering an engaging soundtrack that matches the bike’s dynamic character.

Advanced Technology and Rider Assistance

The 2025 model marks a significant leap forward in technology. For the first time, the Z900 is equipped with a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), enabling sophisticated cornering ABS and traction control (KTRC). These systems provide greater safety and confidence across a variety of riding conditions.

Four selectable riding modes—Sport, Road, Rain, and Rider (customizable)—allow riders to fine-tune throttle response and electronic intervention to suit their preferences. A standard up/down quickshifter with blipper function enables seamless clutchless gear changes, enhancing both acceleration and deceleration. Electronic cruise control is now standard, making long-distance riding more enjoyable. The assist and slipper clutch further smooths out downshifts and prevents rear wheel hop during aggressive braking.

Modern TFT Display and Connectivity

The cockpit is dominated by a vibrant 5-inch TFT color display, offering clear readouts of speed, gear position, fuel level, and other essential information. Smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth allows riders to access turn-by-turn navigation, ride data, and notifications through the Kawasaki Rideology app, adding a layer of convenience and modernity to the riding experience.

Suspension, Braking, and Agile Handling

The Z900’s lightweight trellis frame remains a key contributor to its agile handling and stability. Suspension duties are handled by a 41 mm adjustable inverted front fork and a horizontal back-link gas-charged rear shock, both tuned for a balance of comfort and sporty feedback. The SE variant features an Öhlins S46 rear shock for even greater adjustability and ride quality.

Braking is managed by dual 300 mm front discs with radially mounted four-piston calipers and a 250 mm rear disc, both equipped with ABS for confident stopping power. The 2025 model’s new calipers provide improved feel and precision, further enhancing the bike’s dynamic capabilities.

Everyday Usability and Practicality

Despite its aggressive demeanor, the Z900 is highly rated for its everyday usability. The riding position is comfortable for daily commutes, and the bike’s manageable curb weight of 213 kg makes it easy to maneuver in urban environments. The 17-liter fuel tank offers a practical range, while the 830 mm seat height accommodates a wide range of riders.

Owner Impressions and Verdict

Owners consistently praise the Z900 for its smooth power delivery, sharp handling, and striking looks. Many consider it a segment leader in the supernaked category, thanks to its blend of performance, comfort, and value. The 2025 upgrades to electronics, comfort, and fuel efficiency make it an even more compelling choice for enthusiasts.

Conclusion: Redefining the Supernaked Experience

The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 sets a new standard for what a modern supernaked motorcycle should be. With its bold design, advanced technology, and legendary inline-four engine, it offers an exhilarating ride for weekend adventures and a comfortable, practical experience for daily use. Whether you’re seeking a thrilling ride or a stylish commuter, the Z900 remains one of the most rewarding choices in its class.

Discussions and Questions Kawasaki Z900

What do you think about Z900 or TNT 600?
14 January 2023 10:41

The Kawasaki Z900 is a powerful naked-sport bike that comes with a refined engine and advanced electronic features. The BS6 version of the bike has been upgraded with a new LED headlight, a TFT instrument console with smartphone connectivity, four riding modes, three-level traction control system, and two power modes. Despite meeting the BS6 emission norms, the bike still manages to produce 125PS and 98.5Nm of power via its 948cc, inline-four cylinder engine, mated to a 6-speed transmission aided by a slip and assist clutch. 

While we still await the BS6 Benelli TNT 600i, the Z900 is a great option for those looking for a powerful bike with a lot of features. However, if you are looking for a verdict, we suggest you take a test ride of both the bikes to decide which one suits your needs best.

Which bike to buy, Kawasaki Z900 or Suzuki GSX-S1000GT?
14 January 2023 10:38

The 2021 Kawasaki Z900 is an excellent choice for those looking for a value-for-money deal. It offers great performance and features at an affordable price. It boasts of a powerful 948cc inline-4 engine, producing 125 hp and 98.6 Nm of torque. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox, and is loaded with features like a slipper clutch, upright riding position, and a sporty design. The bike also offers good fuel efficiency, with an ARAI-certified mileage of 18 km/l. The bike’s handling is also good, thanks to its lightweight trellis frame and adjustable suspension. 

In terms of safety, the bike is loaded with features like dual-channel ABS and dual-channel traction control. However, Suzuki GSX-S1000GT has yet to be launched in India, and we advise you to wait for the bike to get launched before making a decision. In the meantime, you can stay tuned for further updates by following the link provided.

I am having trouble deciding between the Honda CBR650R and Kawasaki Z900.
14 January 2023 10:35

When it comes to choosing between the Kawasaki Z900 and the Honda CBR650R, the decision comes down to several factors such as budget, brand preference, serviceability, engine preference, etc. The Kawasaki Z900 is one of the most cost-effective inline-four naked big bikes and comes with a powerful 125PS motor. It also offers TFT instrumentation, traction control, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, all-LED illumination, and stunning looks. 

On the other hand, the Honda CBR650R is powered by a 649cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four engine that has been upgraded for a stronger mid-range. It now produces 87PS at 12,000rpm and 57.5Nm at 8500rpm. Furthermore, the bike features new graphics, a revised LED headlight reflector profile, and a USB Type-C port for under-seat charging. We suggest taking a test ride to get a better understanding of its performance and riding comfort.

What is the service cost of Kawasaki Z900?
14 January 2023 10:33

The service cost for the Kawasaki Z900 depends on the type of services you need and the number of kilometers you have driven. It is advised to get the service cost estimated from your nearest dealership as they would be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate.

Kawasaki Z H2

geeta kumari | 9 months ago

The Kawasaki Z H2 is a technological marvel in the naked bike segment. Its supercharged 998cc engine delivers an exhilarating 200PS, making it a thrill-seeker's dream. The advanced electronics suite, including IMU-based traction control and cornering ABS inspires confidence. However, the bulky design may not appeal to all.

An impressive machine and a great choice for those looking for a fun

Kanishk Goyal | 2 years ago

The Z125 Pro is an incredibly fun bike to ride around town. The engine delivers a smooth and predictable power, allowing you to easily zip in and out of traffic and up the steepest grades of San Francisco. The four-speed gearbox helps with throttle control and provides a safe and comfortable ride for newer riders.

The brakes, while modest, are more than adequate for controlling this machine. The 200mm petal-style disc up front with the Nissan two-piston caliper, and the 184mm petal-style disc in the rear, provide adequate stopping power.

However, the Z125 Pro may not be the best option for taller riders. With a seat height of just 30.3 inches, a rider pushing into the 6’ range may find that their knees meet the bars easily. Taller bars and adjustable rear sets may be necessary to make this bike more comfortable for taller riders.

Overall, the Kawasaki Z125 Pro is an impressive machine and a great choice for those looking for a fun and reliable urban commuter. It's small size, smooth power delivery, and adequate braking system make it a great choice for new and experienced riders alike.

Great choice for those looking for power and performance.

Sana Ifran Khan | 2 years ago

This bike is a great choice for those looking for power and performance. It has a powerful 900cc inline 4 cylinder engine that gives out a lot of torque and power. The bike has an impressive mileage of 20kmpl on long rides and 18kmpl in traffic, making it one of the most efficient bikes in its price range. The bike is also suitable for riders of heights between 5.5 and 6 feet, thanks to its long and narrow design. The only downside is that the bike is quite expensive, but if you are looking for a great superbike experience under 10 lacs, the Kawasaki Z900 is the perfect option. Be sure to drive safely and enjoy the ride!

Great power delivery

Charu Jain | 2 years ago

The overall look of the bike is good and it has a great power delivery. It also has a comfortable sitting position which makes it suitable for long rides. With its lower seating posture, it gives a sporty feel. However, it may not be suitable for touring due to its almost upright seating which can be quite heavy compared to other bikes.

The ergonomics of the Kawasaki Z900 are great and make for a comfortable ride. The performance of the bike is outstanding with a strong throttle response and the quick shifter is a great addition to the experience. The inline 4 sound is an amazing attraction and the pickup is incredibly fast. The overall look of the bike is beautiful and the exhaust note is smooth and sharp. This bike is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a powerful and reliable superbike.

Lightweight Machine for Bike Lovers

Aham Upadhya | 4 years ago

Kawasaki Z250 is a comfortable motorcycle with perfect quality and good top-end grunt. It has an aggressive front and looks like a big motorcycle. The brakes are strong and friendly if you need them but ABS is omitted from the bike for India. The 6-speed gearbox gives smooth shifts and the clutch is well weighed with the lever providing amazing feel. It does excel when it comes to mileage and returns more than 30 km/l, resulting in a 500 km plus range on a single tank. The ride quality is good and easily absorb bumps on road. Plastic quality is average and rear view mirrors give decent viewing angle. It shares the same instrument cluster used by Ninja 300, but has a couple of changes to it. The seats are on the harder side but still offer a lot of comfort. In comparison to rider seat, pillion seat is quite inappropriate. I rode with two different passengers and they commented that the seat was too uncomfortable and stiff for a long riding. It has impressive handling and corners with good precision.

Best Features: Easy handling

Pros: Lightweight, easy handling, attractive looks, smooth gearing, huge tank capacity

Cons: Uncomfortable for long rides, expensive, No ABS

The Z900 is an incredible bike for the money, with plenty of power and great handling. It has a comfortable ride position which is great for long rides. It is also cheaper than the CB650R, making it an even better value. With the Z900, you get a lot of bike for your money and great performance to boot.

The Z900 is an amazing bike for anyone who wants to experience the power of a supersport from an upright riding position. It is lightweight, yet still packs plenty of power, making it perfect for navigating through city streets or winding country roads. The ABS brakes provide extra security and peace of mind, ensuring that you can take on any road with confidence. The Z900 is an absolute beast of a bike, and is sure to bring a smile to any rider's face!

After few months, the copper pipes may start to corrode and lose their shine if not properly maintained. To keep them looking new, it's important to clean them regularly with a mild detergent and warm water, and to avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners. Additionally, applying a protective coating such as wax or lacquer can help protect the pipes from corrosion.

The Kawasaki Z900 is a distinctively styled monstrous street bike with a powerful 948 cc engine. Expected to be priced at 9 lakhs in India, it looks like worth every rupee spent as an offer.
