Recently, Kawasaki India announced that the brand is willing to introduce a price hike across the entire range by citing an increase in input costs as a major reason. Now, before the new prices are applicable, the all-new 2022 Kawasaki Z900 has made its debut with a price tag starting at Rs.8.5 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). Of course, just like any other model, the updated bike will get a new Candy Lime Green colour. Sadly, for this much, customers will have to pay Rs.8,000 more when compared to the outgoing model.

2022 Kawasaki Z900
The updated bike will now wear a new shade called Candy Lime Green. Apart from this, it remains exactly the same as the outgoing model with lots of modern features, including a coloured 4.3-inch TFT rider’s display, smartphone connectivity and LED headlight as standard. Also, to alter the overall performance, Kawasaki has decided to offer three ride modes, namely – Rain, Road and Sport. Other electronic aids, such as traction control and power modes are available on the updated range as well.
Based on a steel-trellis frame, the 2022 Z900 sits on a 41mm telescopic fork up front. At the rear, it still gets a back-link unit that works flawlessly by absorbing all the bumps. Enough stopping power for this motorcycle is still ensured by twin discs (front) and a single disc at the back. For rider’s safety, the entire setup is assisted by a dual-channel ABS.
According to Kawasaki, Z900 now weighs 212 kgs. Meanwhile, to enhance the overall range, it gets a 17-litre fuel tank.
At the heart, it will be featuring a 948cc four-cylinder engine known for producing a massive 123.6HP and 98.6Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties for this setup are managed by a 6-speed gearbox while being paired to a slipper clutch. For your information, this unit has been updated to match the BS6 emission norms.

Ducati Monster
The name perfectly describes this product because of the riding dynamics it offers.

Feature-wise, the Italian manufacturer has stuffed it with LED lighting, cornering ABS, traction control and a 4.3-inch TFT instrument console among others.
