The much-anticipated 2025 Kawasaki Z900 has been officially patented in India, signaling an imminent launch. This aggressive streetfighter from the Japanese brand was first revealed internationally late last year, and it’s now gearing up to hit Indian roads. With a host of styling updates and modern equipment upgrades, the new Z900 aims to elevate the riding experience while maintaining its raw performance DNA.
Design
The 2025 Z900 stays true to Kawasaki’s signature Sugomi design language but looks more intense this time. The bodywork now feels more sculpted and edgy, thanks to redesigned tank extensions, a sharper LED headlamp, and a brawnier fuel tank. These tweaks make the bike look even more aggressive, like it’s ready to pounce even when standing still.
The overall visual appeal has been dialed up to match the bike’s beastly nature. Whether you go for the standard version or the more premium SE trim, the bike turns heads with its muscular stance and refined lines.
Display
One of the key upgrades is the new TFT colour display. It now supports Bluetooth connectivity and can pair with your smartphone for features like voice command control via a headset. The cluster features crisp graphics and a clean layout, making it easier to access all the ride data and settings on the go. It’s functional, futuristic, and a big step up from the older console.
Engine
Under the skin, the Z900 retains its creamy smooth 948cc inline-four-cylinder engine. This powertrain continues to deliver strong performance with 123bhp of power and 97.4Nm of peak torque. While the engine’s character remains unchanged, it now complies with stricter emission standards, making it greener without dulling the fun.
The bike continues to be mated to a 6-speed gearbox that feels slick and precise, and now also benefits from a factory-fitted bidirectional quick-shifter, adding to the thrill of aggressive upshifts and smoother downshifts.
Suspension
Suspension duties on the standard Z900 are handled by adjustable USD forks at the front and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. For those seeking an even more premium setup, the SE version comes fitted with an Ohlins rear suspension, which should offer better damping and feedback on different terrains.
Tyres are top-notch too, with Dunlop Sportmax rubber offering great grip and handling dynamics whether you’re corner carving or commuting.
Electronics
One of the biggest talking points is the improved electronics package. The 2025 Z900 finally gets IMU-based rider aids, something that was sorely missed in the earlier model. Now, you get traction control, dual power modes, cruise control, and dual-channel ABS for added safety and performance tuning.
This rider-focused setup brings the Z900 in line with other modern-day streetfighters, making it more appealing for both enthusiasts and everyday riders who want safety without compromise.
Pricing
Given that the current model is being offered at heavy discounts and the 2025 version has been patented, the launch seems just around the corner. As for pricing, expect the updated Z900 to be pegged around Rs. 9.50 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant.
