Evergreen reloaded! Kawasaki Z900 2025 - ALL data revealed!

[@avothfis]

Looks are subjective but I like it. Face to face will decide for me. Love the electronics update. Been wanting the cruise control especially. Sure the Z light is gone but trying new can be good. Again - need to see it and ride it.

[@romakorshunov2880]

Hope that Versys 650 get this changes like cc, qs & tft screen.

[@yorkshireR9T]

Good improvements, but it will be hard to beat the new hornet sp.

[@superduperkid3143]

Yeah it still doesnt beat the hornet/ SP version.

[@fs5866]

I mean the hornet is actually not even competing with this since that thing has 155 hp so it's more in the realm of a hyper naked and competes with the likes of mt10 but somehow it's cheaper than this one LMAO.The honda 1000 hornet sp might be the best bang for buck in the last decades not gonna lie, you get a CBR1000rr derived engine and loads of tech for the cheapest price on the market bar none.

[@cloudcata8300]

@@fs5866 Depends on where you are but no, the honda doesn't have a 6 axis imu and only the SP comes with a quickshifter, yes the engine is better performance wise but that's about it. And now as for the prices I don't know about other continents but in Europe the Z900 2025 is 10100 Eur including vat while the standard hornet which has no qs, no 6 axis imu is 11500, the SP is 13000. So with the Z900 you pay 3000 less and have all the electronics suite and the same torque in the low to midrange rpm. I wanted the hornet since it has the fireblade engine detuned so it will be bulletproof but I can't ignore the 3k euros price cut for the Z900. 120 hp is plenty for me, if I want real power I have my gen 3 hayabusa. But if someone has the budget, yes I'd get the hornet SP as well, it's a fat better bike performance wise but for me, it's pointless, I'll only use it inside the city

[@fyorbane]

@@superduperkid3143 Not for power. It does beat the Honda on electronics. No IMU on the Honda. I think the Kawi looks nicer ecpecially with the green frame. Pricing is similar so they are both very good bikes for the money.

[@brunociardi9768]

no the front suspension does not have compression adjustment

[@Xander-86]

The headlight took a huge dive when it comes to looks and no more Z taillight. 🤮

[@TheBoobieMan]

Updated but still way behind the competition

[@federaldelii]

Is there an automatic transmission option like Yamaha ? I would like it for city traffic 👍🏻💯

[@dablukr]

I wish someone would buy this monster for me.😁😁😁

[@aliu6479]

first look:an z500 with 4 exhaust pipe🏍

[@Mani1001YellowSapphire]

Hello sir when will release in India 🇮🇳

[@1000pscom]

We do not have this information at the moment.

[@Mani1001YellowSapphire]

@ ok sir

[@sandeepk2700]

This one sucks!! the 2024 looks awesome!

[@pedronogueira8148]

Care to elaborate?

[@pdark3930]

As a Kawasaki fan, they just continue to dissapoint, looks the same, less how and more weight

[@chilangoson]

For a middle weight it’s heavy.

[@Bekarr_group]

Headlight not looking good

[@dp0727]

Yeah bro previous model was better than this

[@FrankBonessa]

Definitely, my '22 Z9 headlight looks extra cool , especially on the street coming at you. Ultra white light.

[@fyorbane]

Oh dear. Kawasaki have been very lazy as of late. The new Z1100 and Versys 1100 have reduced power ,no restyle whatsoever and remain fairly heavy. And now this. Yes, the electronics are welcome but the re-style is disappointing. And why have they not bothered to cut the weight. It was already a fair bit heavier than the competition and now it is even heavier. Why? What is wrong with Kawasaki at the moment? It is like they cannot be bothered to put any real effort into their bikes.The fact is their competition are much more pro active and make much more of an effort when they update their machines. I feel Kawasaki are going down the same route as Suzuki did a few years ago with little to no real effort with their bikes. The ZH2 should have had a restyle and lost some weight to make it more attractive to potential buyers but they have done nothing. I feel their sales will suffer for this.

[@superduperkid3143]

There's no such thing as z1100. It's a 1100sx.

[@fyorbane]

@@superduperkid3143 Actually it's a 1000sx Ninja.

[@bikegeist]

Concerning the new Ninja 1100, maybe they just think people who liked and bought the previous bike value midrange torque more.

[@MiamiNinja.2Thailand]

Stop crying.

[@fyorbane]

@@MiamiNinja.2Thailand The truth hurts eh!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Not many motorcycles released in the recent decade that AVOID the 2-tier so-called updates: more power, more amenities/tech, or both. Royal Enfield seems to be the only company that's avoiding this trap. Try making a heavily appealing motorcycle without the trap of amenities/tech and horsepower addiction. Just try. How would you do it? Capturing the essence of what makes a motorcycle a motorcycle, while making it simultaneously appealing. Such as unique engine/note/power delivery, fit/finish, ergos, and visual appeal that lasts. The engine development thing is where manufactures are falling flat. Why? Stupid regulation bureaucracies. And no, I am NOT meaning "just add power." Clearly there are other manufactures just adding power. BMW and Ducati seem to be doing that, modifying 1L or 1.2L engines to make near double the power they once did (you can't, you simply shift where the engine makes power).

[@dsofe4879]

It's just so goddamn bland. Still ugly, still heavy, still not as fun as an MT09. FFS, all they had to do was give it a proper aluminum chassis and hire a few actual designers. Instead they just dumped a bunch of off-the-shelf Bosch/Conti electronics on top of a mediocre redesign and called it a day. It really doesn't seem like Kawasaki (and Suzuki) are planning to remain in the motorcycle business much longer.

[@MalShakur]

So in other words, it will still be far more boring than an MT-09.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

For you perhaps. Maybe you believe all motorcycles on earth should have 3- cylinders. What an outcry there would be.

[@MalShakur]

@@exothermal.sprocket not at all with four 4 cylinder bikes (including a Kawi) and one twin in the garage, but when I rode the existing Z900 and the MT-09 back to back, the difference in fun factor was a mile apart, sorry.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@MalShakur What were you expecting from them? I'm an MT-09 owner. I had a Z900. I see the merits of both.

[@MalShakur]

@@exothermal.sprocket I expected them to make it a bit more rowdier and engaging to perhaps steal some of the Yamaha MT-09 customers.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@MalShakur With throttle by wire, they did. It's called throttle maps. It alters the speed at which throttle is applied on the engine, relative to the speed of your grip twist.

[@zrx4me1]

A failure. Still a worthless pillion seat, same engine, ugly as hell.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

You're not among the Indian customers where this machine has been a top seller. I guess.

[@zrx4me1]

Upon studying this bike more I have changed my opinion. I will test ride one in March to see.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@zrx4me1 Get ready to be surprised. The engine ain't a peaky 600 that needs a million revs to move. It goes immediately.

[@shivamarya5225]

​@@exothermal.sprocket Kawasaki 600 or 636 to be exact is already really good. Its got plenty of torque down low, power delivery is really linear and keeps climbing, a much better engine than their 900 because of weight and less sarifying power delivery
