kawasaki 2021 Z125 Performance

Displaying Kawasaki’s unique Sugomi design philosophy for all to see, the Z125 is here to be noticed and make a profound Naked bike statement. The exposed trellis type chassis blends with minimal and aggressive Z bodywork encouraging spirited riding from the A1 friendly 15PS (11kW) engine that is both new-rider friendly and as sporting as you would expect from Kawasaki. Welcome to the Z family.

Uni Trak Rear Suspension

Uni Trak rear suspension provides great road holding ability and bump absorption, contributing to the bike’s sporty handling. The shock linkage decreases leverage on the shock as the suspension is compressed: small bumps are damped very lightly while big bumps receive lots of damping. The shock has a 5 stroke of 60 mm, helping to ensure the balance of lightweight handling and a composed character. 5-way rear preload adjustability allows riders to adjust the rear ride height, as well as set up the bike to accommodate a passenger or luggage.
 
ERGO-FIT Low Seat
 
ERGO-FIT seats enable riders to select seats that optimise their fit on the bike. For the Z125, an ERGO-FIT low seat (-25 mm) is available. (Patterns on the seat material are unique to each machine.)
 
All-digital Instrumentation
 
All-digital instrument panel gives the cockpit a modern, sporty look.
 
Z Supernaked Styling
 
Like its larger brothers in the Z Series, the Z125’s aggressive styling hints at its sporty potential. A dynamic design created by its slim, hourglass figure is complemented by extremely lightweight looks care of sharp, close-fit bodywork and an original trellis frame.
 
Transmission
 
Smooth-shifting six-speed transmission complements the sporty street performance, offering a gear for every situation. The clutch engages smoothly and disengages cleanly, making it easy to operate for new riders and optimising clutch feel for on-road performance.
 
Powerful Engine

125 cm3 4-stroke Single
Smooth power delivery contributes to the Z125’s 125 cm3 engine’s feel-good performance. Like a typical Kawasaki engine, the engine delivers a good “punch” at high rpm, and continues to pull right up to the rev limiter. Reliability inherited from its robust 250cc base engine adds peace of mind.

Six-speed transmission

Supernaked Ergonomics

The Z125 light, nimble handling character together with an upright riding position and wide handlebar put the rider in the ideal position for active control, facilitating dynamic, sporty riding that enables the Z125 rider to deftly navigate urban traffic.

Brakes/wheels/tyres

Front and rear disc brakes offer impressive stopping performance. Dualpiston calipers grip a ø290 mm disc up front, and a ø220 mm disc at the rear. Petal disc design adds to the sporty Kawasaki looks.

Independent Sport ABS

Standard equipment ABS contributes to rider reassurance. The highspec system was designed specially for motorcycles and features a very compact ABS unit. Independent activation maximises sporty control.
