Inheriting the exciting and rider-friendly concept of its predecessors, the new Z900 benefits from chassis and engine updates that contribute to even greater street-riding fun. An enhanced electronic rider support package includes IMU feedback and Kawasaki’s latest dual-direction KQS (operating from as low as 1500rpm), plus when it’s time to get from point A to point B, ride-enhancing features like electronic cruise control and Kawasaki's first “turn-by-turn” navigation system help ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey.
Kawasaki could be forgiven for resting on their laurels in respect of the Z900, but in fact the energy expended by the Akashi factory for 2025 is considerable. A ramped up sugomi * design catches the eye with sharp, edgy styling that makes effective use of metal parts as it hints at the sharp sugomi performance within.
In terms of motive power, the powerful 948 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-line Four engine has a quick-revving character and a stronger mid-range hit allied to precise control from the new electronic throttle valves while Kawasaki’s highly sophisticated electronic management systems feature an IMU to oversee a variety of functions. And to slow the go show, the new front brakes now feature new radial-mount 4-piston calipers offering a linear brake touch through the new Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres.
A major part of a sharper-looking innovative front end is the new precise and compact headlights, plus an advanced LED taillight. New brushed aluminium side shrouds and other accents give the Z900 a high-quality, metallic look while the new, more comfortable seat is flatter to allow the rider to shift around easily and maintain attention on the large 5” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation plus the convenience of electronic cruise control as standard.
In a Kawasaki first, turn-by-turn navigation can be displayed on the instrument panel, allowing the rider to see where the next turn should be made, while compatibility with Rideology The App Motorcycle allows the rider to control various functions by voice command**.
That is not all though. In fact, the list of new features on the 2025 stretches into the distance and includes updated camshaft profiles contributing to improved fuel economy plus increased torque at lower rpm and new ECU settings aiding a 16% potential increase in fuel economy plus reduced CO2 emissions over the previous model. Kawasaki’s KTRC traction control also features as well as selectable power modes and integrated riding modes.
For the rider, the front seat shape has been updated with thicker urethane and two seat heights are possible*** via the ERGO-FIT High seat at 830mm and an alternative ERGO-FIT Low seat at 810 mm. And forward of the seated rider, the aluminium fat-type handlebar offer an improved rigidity and imbues a sense of pride and purpose.
Sugomi is not just about the face of the new Z900. The advanced LED taillight features a light guiding design creating a cutting-edge, 3D appearance while practically, a cockpit area USB Type-C outlet (standard equipment on the SE model) offers a discreet and convenient charging point.
In addition to the standard Z900, the Special Edition model features higher-grade suspension (including an Öhlins rear shock), Brembo front brake components, and special colour and graphics while the European market will also feature 70 kW and 35 kW models offering A2 European licence compliant access to Z Supernaked excitement for a wider range of riders.
Z fans across Europe have been hungry for a new iteration – so let the feast begin!
Z900 colours:
Metallic Moondust Grey / Metallic Spark Black / Candy Lime Green

*Sugomi describes core performance and styling elements found in Kawasaki’s Z Supernaked models.
**Voice command and navigation functions will be available only to users who have a licence. Support for these functions varies depending on the country

Kawasaki to be Tour de France official supplier
In a three-year deal stretching from 2025 to 2027, Kawasaki will provide the official motorcycle for the prestigious and historic race as well as an impressive list of other events totalling twenty-two races in all.
Choosing a fleet of forty-five examples of the new 2025 Versys 1100 as the nominated machine for the initial year of the partnership, Kawasaki is re-energising a relationship with the world’s most famous cycling race that stretches back to the mid-1980’s and previously featured such key Kawasaki machines as the GTR1000 and, more recently, the 1400GTR.
With a combination of all day comfort plus increased power and torque for the 2025 sales season, the Versys 1100 will fulfil a number of essential roles in terms of organising and controlling the races such as road opening and key event support functions across the Tour de France and other European events including the iconic Paris-Roubaix, La Flèche Wallonne, Liège-Bastogne-Liège and La Vuelta. Across the first year of the agreement each machine is expected to cover an average of 20,000 km.
Identified as a “Destination: Everywhere” motorcycle, the Versys 1100 represents the pinnacle of Kawasaki’s any-roads philosophy combining all-day comfort, performance and state-of-the-art technology including rider to motorcycle voice command interaction.
Speaking of the partnership, Kawasaki Motors Europe President, Shigemi Tanaka, expressed the company’s delight at rekindling an historic partnership.
“Kawasaki has traditionally been associated with the colour green and this aligns perfectly with our drive towards carbon neutral clean, green energy, alternative fuels and cutting-edge innovations across the spectrum of new transport solutions plus further innovations within the scope of traditional internal combustion engine technology.
The Tour de France – plus these twenty-one other incredible events we will be part of – represent a global showcase for human endeavour and extracting the maximum performance from rider and machine in an ecologically responsible environment. This aligns perfectly with our passionate approach to our products, and we are proud to re-ignite our relationship with world class cycling adding a further showcase for the exposure of our products and brand ideals.”
The 22 events that Kawasaki will be the official motorcycle for comprise:

Kawasaki accelerates the Z500 and Ninja 500 into 2025
Ninja 500 SE
Ninja 500 SE
Ninja 500
Z500 SE
Z500 SE
Z500
Popular from the get-go, Kawasaki’s Ninja 500 and Z500 hit the ground running and have not looked back since their introduction. Boasting a completely new engine platform and styling focused on the iconic Ninja and Z families respectively, the two A2 compliant middleweights have been among the most popular models at Kawasaki dealerships over the past year.
The engine in the new Ninja 500 and Z500 is up the task, no matter what it may be. Ample power from the 451 cm3 power unit is available through the entire rpm range to make it easy for riders to use, no matter what kind of riding they are doing, from low-end urge for accelerating off the line in the city to top-end revs for riding on the highway. Kawasaki’s Assist & Slipper Clutch on both machines results in a light clutch pull for even more rider-friendly and manageable riding in everyday situations plus predictable handling is delivered thanks to a chassis conceived with light weight, manoeuvrability, and mass centralisation in mind provides excellent feel and inspiring confidence for a wide range of riders.
The Ninja 500 and Z500 feature a trellis frame similar in design to that of the Ninja H2. Kawasaki’s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis was used to ensure optimum rigidity with light weight. The engine is rigid-mounted and used as a stressed member. And while seat height is 785 mm, the slim design of both the seat and the rear of the engine gives riders an unobstructed line for their feet to reach the ground.
No matter from what angle the Z500 is seen, its triple headlight-centred front face and aggressive lines make it clear that this is a member of the Z family, with aggressive Supernaked looks and ample street presence. The Ninja alternative offers a distinctive front face and sleek, flowing lines make it clear that this is a member of the Ninja family, with race-inspired, big-bike looks. The shape of the full-fairing bodywork fosters a sense of unity with the rider, helping them feel at one with the bike.
Both machines boast a full LCD instrument panel on the standard models and the TFT display on the SE models offer smartphone connectivity, enabling riders to connect with their machines to enjoy display notifications, riding logs, and community features. SE models also feature original colour and graphics along with other exclusive features and accessories.
And for 2025 a new colour option is offered for the Ninja 500 mirroring the accents seen on the KRT Ninja ZX-10RR in many superbike races with the lime green base colour augmented by black, and white graphics with yellow striped highlights. Whatever the colour and whether Ninja 500 or Z500 in standard or SE spec, the choice in 2025 is going to be the right one!

2025 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX: Trans-Europe Express
Hot in the tyre tracks of the recently announced Versys 1100, Kawasaki have unveiled the new 2025 Ninja 1100SX, a true continental express as ready to tackle border crossings as it is to navigate crowded city streets.

Most obvious news for 2025 is an increase in capacity for the ever popular litre class Ninja SX raising the capacity from 1043cc to 1099cc. But there is much more to the Ninja 1100SX than that with a host of updates and refinements to maintain its place at the forefront of the supersport touring pack.
Offering increased torque across the rev range, the need to change gear lessens – even more so when ratio changes mean new longer 5th and 6th gears. Like its SX forebears, the latest iteration perfectly blends its touring and sporting abilities and this is manifested in the quick-shifter that now operates as low as 1500rpm allowing seamless changes at lower engine revolutions than before.
Rider and passenger convenience is an SX watchword so it is no surprise to see a handlebar mounted USB-C port as standard along with electronic cruise control, power modes, cornering management, K-TRC traction control and intelligent anti-lock brakes. Add an upscaled rear disc for even better stopping power and the good news is that in the face of more capacity and torque, the 2025 Ninja 1100SX offers even greater fuel efficiency. Even the tyres have been taken to a new level with the adoption of the latest Bridgestone Battlax S23 as a standard fitment.
The breaking news is that the Ninja 1100SX now comes with a sibling in the guise of an SE variant for the very first time. Boasting Brembo M4.32 front brake calipers, master cylinder and disc rotors plus steel mesh brake hoses, the SE also enjoys an Öhlins S46 rear shock absorber with remote pre-load adjustment. As a final touch, the SE model comes with heated grips as standard.
What both machines share is the ability to be connected to an updated version of Kawasaki’s unique Rideology app that allows riders to adjust aspects of their motorcycle, gather machine information via their Smartphone and also see ridden routes on their phone screen plus – for 2025 – Rideology is now voice command application ready anticipating the next generation of motorcycle and rider interactivity.
Sports or touring duties, the new Ninja 1100SX is ready to deliver from its height adjustable screen to a range of colour-coded luggage options plus a number of Edition models that can be ordered direct from any franchised Kawasaki road bike dealer. Along with an expanding range of accessories, the Ninja 1100SX marks a significant stage in the evolution of the Kawasaki sport touring concept.
