The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 has officially been patented in India, hinting that its launch on Indian roads is just around the corner. First revealed globally late last year, the updated naked streetfighter from the Japanese brand brings a host of cosmetic changes, tech upgrades, and emission tweaks to keep up with the times.
Design
Let’s talk about the looks—because the new Z900 definitely turns heads. Kawasaki has retained its aggressive Sugomi styling, but has dialed up the attitude. The design is now sharper and more angular than ever before. You’ll notice a redesigned LED headlight that looks sleeker, along with a beefed-up fuel tank and new tank extensions that enhance the bike’s muscular stance.
The streetfighter now carries an even more intimidating road presence, and the updated body panels give it a fresh, modern edge while staying true to the Z family DNA.
Display
One of the big upgrades for 2025 is the addition of a new TFT colour display. It’s not just a pretty screen—it brings Bluetooth connectivity and supports voice commands through a headset. The interface is crisp and user-friendly, offering riders access to key info and features without distraction. This cluster blends tech with function in a way that feels natural once you’re riding.
Engine
Under the skin, the 2025 Z900 keeps its beloved 948cc inline four-cylinder engine. It’s a gem—smooth, responsive, and just the right amount of aggressive. The motor has been updated to comply with stricter emission standards but hasn’t lost its charm. It still puts out 123bhp and 97.4Nm of torque, paired with a slick-shifting six-speed gearbox.
Whether you’re cruising through the city or ripping down an open highway, this engine delivers a balance of performance and everyday usability.
Suspension
Suspension duties on the standard Z900 are handled by adjustable USD forks up front and a rear monoshock. But if you’re looking for premium ride quality, the SE variant ups the game with an Ohlins rear suspension. Both models promise a sporty yet comfortable ride, tuned for Indian roads.
Tyres are another strong point—the Z900 rolls on Dunlop Sportmax rubber, which is known for offering solid grip and good performance in both wet and dry conditions.
Features
Kawasaki has also given the 2025 Z900 a much-needed boost in the electronics department. It now includes an IMU-based system that adds a layer of smart rider assistance. Key highlights include:
- Traction control
- Two power modes
- Dual-channel ABS
- Cruise control
- Bidirectional quick-shifter
These features bring the Z900 in line with other modern middleweight motorcycles and give riders more control and confidence—especially in tricky riding conditions.
Launch
The bike hasn’t launched officially in India yet, but considering that the current version is seeing heavy discounts and the updated model has already been patented, it’s only a matter of time. Expect Kawasaki to announce its arrival soon.
As for pricing, the new Z900 is likely to come in at around Rs 9.50 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant and optional accessories. Given the updates in styling, tech, and rider aids, that price feels competitive in the current market.
