Kawasaki has officially unveiled the 2025 Z900, showcasing a significant redesign coupled with a host of new features that elevate this popular streetfighter to new heights. This latest iteration promises to attract motorcycle enthusiasts with its improved performance, advanced electronics, and striking aesthetics.
Performance Enhancements: Tweaks to the Engine
The 2025 Z900 retains its 948 cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine, delivering 123 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 98.6 Nm of peak torque at 7,700 rpm. While these power figures remain unchanged, Kawasaki has made several key tweaks to enhance the riding experience. The updated engine features new electronic throttle valves, a revised cam profile, and optimized ECU settings. These modifications result in a more linear power delivery, improved low-end torque, and a remarkable fuel economy increase of up to 16 percent. Additionally, the bike now comes equipped with a bi-directional quick shifter, making gear changes smoother and faster.
Striking New Design Elements
The Z900’s cosmetic updates are immediately noticeable, particularly the newly designed LED headlamp and sleek taillamp . The motorcycle also features a larger 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, enhancing the overall tech experience for riders.

Advanced Electronics for Enhanced Control
Equipped with a six-axis IMU, the 2025 Z900 offers advanced electronic features including a cornering management function and an updated ABS system. Riders can enjoy the convenience of electronic cruise control, throttle-by-wire technology, and switchable traction control with three modes. The motorcycle also provides four ride modes—Sport, Road, Rain, and a customizable mode—allowing riders to tailor their experience based on conditions and personal preferences.
Suspension and Braking Upgrades
In terms of cycle parts, the Z900 features a 41 mm USD front suspension setup, complemented by a rear monoshock, both of which are adjustable for preload and rebound. Braking performance utilizes dual 300 mm disc brakes equipped with four-piston calipers at the front, while the rear is fitted with a new 250 mm disc setup. Riders opting for the SE variant will benefit from a more premium fully-adjustable front suspension, an Ohlins rear shock, and Brembo brake components. The Z900 continues to sport 17-inch wheels but now comes shod with new Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres, enhancing grip and handling.
Anticipated Arrival in India
Kawasaki currently retails the 2024 Z900 in India at a price of Rs 9.38 lakh (ex-showroom). In conclusion, the 2025 Kawasaki Z900 stands as a testament to Kawasaki’s commitment to innovation and performance. Riders can look forward to a motorcycle that offers both style and substance, making every ride an exhilarating experience.
