Kawasaki Ninja 125

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

Kawasaki lined up two new 125cc bikes for the Intermot 2018 event. The event was held in Germany in September 2018. The company launched both bikes first in the European markets. With both those bikes, the company wanted to strengthen its presence in the low-displacement segment. Both of these new bikes, the Ninja 125 and Z125, were designed with inspiration from high displacement bikes. The green-black livery has been given to the Ninja 125, which is also given to the company's popular Ninja ZX-10RR race bike. The length of this bike is 1935 mm, the width is 685 mm, and the height is 1075 mm. It has a sporty and lean-forward riding posture.

The bike has a tubular trellis frame with a box-type swingarm, which helps in keeping the weight of this bike light. Apart from this, disc brakes and dual-channel ABS have been given in the new Kawasaki Ninja 125. Along with this, a fully digital instrument console has also been installed. Kawasaki Motorcycle President, Kazuo Ota, mentioned that the Kawasaki styling, engineering, and excellence drive quality features in this 125cc model can only be offered by the Japanese manufacturer.

Currently, the smallest offering from Kawasaki in India is the Z250 naked motorcycle, while the smallest fire motorcycle in India is the new Kawasaki Ninja 300. The premium 125cc segment is not that popular in India, hence the manufacturer is preoccupied with introducing premium 125cc motorcycles in the country. Both the motorcycles will be perfect choices for a sporty and powerful entry-level machine for the beginner rider. This will be an interesting product for the Indian market as no other manufacturers have yet opened their cards for such a sporty 125cc motorcycle.
