Kawasaki India has
also launched the BSIV compliant Kawasaki Z250. ABS continues to be absent from
the most affordable Kawasaki badged motorcycle in India.
The powertrain remains the same 249 cc parallel twin
mill which is sourced from the Kawasaki Ninja 250. The liquid cooled mill
coupled to a 6-speed gearbox is capable of producing 32 PS of maximum power at
11,000 rpm and 21 Nm of peak torque at 10,000 rpm. There has been no drop in
output despite the engine meeting the new norms.
Braking in the new Kawasaki Z250 is overseen by a
290 mm petal unit up front and a 220 mm petal disc in the rear both with dual
piston calliper. The bike can store 17-litre of petrol and has a ground
clearance of 145 mm. ABS is at present not on offer but can expected very soon.
The Kawasaki Z250 BSIV has
been priced at INR 3.09 lakhs (ex-showroom, Pune).
