Z125 Pro
The
all-new Kawasaki Z125 has been premiered to the world at the 2015 Tokyo Motor
Show. It is a global model that could be launched later this year as the
first direct competitor to the Honda Grom 125. There are two variants – Z125
and Z125 Pro.
The
baby Kwaker is a 101 kg street fighter that measures 1,700 in length, 750 mm in
width and 1,005 mm in height, and has a fuel tank capacity of 7.4 litres. It is
powered by a horizontally-oriented 125 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine
that produces 9.5 PS of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 9.5 Nm of peak torque at
6,000 rpm. The Z125 gets a 4-speed automatic transmission, while the Z125 Pro
gets a 4-speed manual gearbox.
The
Z125 features a narrow head lamp, a sizeable front fender, a high-mounted
handlebar, a muscular fuel tank, expansive tank extensions, a sporty belly pan,
a silver-coloured underbelly exhaust, an inverted telescopic fork upfront, an
off-set monoshock suspension at the rear, a disc brake on either wheels, chunky
tyres and a subtle tail piece.
Featuring
an aggressive styling inline with the larger Z siblings,the Z125 gets an
analog-digital instrument cluster that has an analog tachometer on the left and
a digital speedometer on an LCD display. The TFT screen includes a fuel gauge,
a gear indicator, an odometer, a trip meter and a clock. The Kawasaki Z125 will
be offered in three colours – candy lime green, candy burnt orange and a silver
shade.
