The newest Z900 keeps the 948cc liquid‑cooled inline‑four, delivering 124 hp at 9,500 rpm and 98.6 Nm of torque through a smooth six‑speed gearbox. The price tag of ₹9.99 lakh signals Kawasaki’s intent to offer a performance‑heavy option without slashing the unit cost.
The only visual tweak this year is a fresh color palette: Ebony/Metallic Carbon Gray and Pearl Blizzard White/Plasma Lime Green replace the previous green/black and black/gold combos. The bike’s Sugomi silhouette, angular LED headlamps, and exposed mechanicals remain unchanged, preserving the Z900’s unmistakable naked‑bike DNA.
Under the hood, the bike’s hardware mirrors the 2026 layout: a 41‑mm inverted front fork with adjustable rebound and preload, a horizontal back‑link rear with gas‑charged shock, and dual front radial‑mount, four‑piston callipers plus a single rear disc. The 5‑inch TFT console now bundles smartphone connectivity, quickshifter, turn‑by‑turn navigation, cruise control, and traction control as standard.
In the market, the Z900 sits at a premium segment next to the Yamaha MT‑07 (₹6.5 lakh, 74 hp), Honda CBR650R (₹7.5 lakh, 94 hp), and KTM 790 Duke (₹9.3 lakh, 114 hp). Its 124 hp output gives it a clear power edge, but the price is noticeably higher, making it a choice for riders who value raw performance and a full tech suite over a tighter budget.
The 2027 model is already rolling into showrooms, with initial deliveries expected in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore by mid‑2027. Service network coverage is still expanding, so buyers should confirm local support before purchasing. Keep an eye on Kawasaki’s forthcoming updates, especially any upcoming variants that might trim the price or tweak power.
