2023 Kawasaki Z900 makes its debut

The 2023 Kawasaki Z900 has been launched in India at ₹8.93 lakh, and is ₹51,000 dearer than the outgoing model, but remains mechanically identical to it. The only change the middleweight sport naked gets for this year is the addition of two new colour options.

As was the case with the recently-launched 2023 Kawasaki ZX-10R, not much on the Z900 has changed compared to the previous model, with the exception of two new colourways. For 2023, the Kawasaki Z900 can be had in either Metallic Phantom Silver/Metallic Carbon Grey or Ebony/Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Grey.

Everything else on the bike stays unchanged, including the 948cc, inline-four, liquid-cooled engine, which is good for 125hp at 9,500rpm and 98.6Nm of torque at 7,700rpm. When we pitted the Z900 against competition from Europe, we found this silky-smooth engine the most tractable of the lot. The steel trellis frame nestling this engine remains the same as well.
