Kawasaki
Z125
The
Kawasaki Z125 will be a Honda Grom 125 (also known as Honda MSX125) competitor,
in track-sports, off-roading and free-styling. The model inherits styling cues
from larger Kawasaki motorcycles. The headlamp assembly seems to be inspired by
the Z800, the Z-shaped tank extensions look similar to the Z1000, and the
underbelly exhaust appears to be inherited from the ER6n. In terms of colour
choices, the Z125 will be available in at least two colours – green and grey.
The
finer details of the Z125 are yet to be revealed, but it is reported that the
Z125 is equipped with alloy wheels and suspension components (including the Up
Side Down fork and rear monoshock) sourced from KSR.
The
engine specifications of the Z125 are not confirmed yet. It is expected to
compete with the 125 cc two-valve, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected
engine in the Honda Grom, that produces 9.7 hp at 7,000 rpm and 10.84 Nm at 5,500 rpm, mated to a 4-speed gearbox.
