New Kawasaki 2016 scooters

J125

Kawasaki continues its – discreet – foray into the scooter market with the J125, a logical continuation of the first milestone set with the J300 (read our). A novelty of 125 cc with high commercial potential on the European market in general, and in France in particular.

Under its razor-sharp exterior inspired by Akashi’s sports motorcycles, the J125 hides an already existing base in the Kymco range, in this case the .A predictable approach as the J300 is itself a revised Dink Street 300 – and subtly improved – by Kawasaki !

This J125 is powered by the same single cylinder as its organ donor and develops 14 hp and 11.5 Nm. It also uses the same cycle part (tubular steel frame, 37 mm fork, shock absorbers adjustable in preload, etc.). However, several parameters have been reworked, including the suspension settings for better comfort. The saddle also becomes thicker and the brake discs (260 mm at the front, 240 at the rear) adopt the characteristic petal cut of Kawasaki..

Well equipped, this J125 accepts a full face helmet in its trunk – illuminated by LED – and is fitted as standard with a luggage holder, a bag hook and a 12V socket in the storage compartment. The instrumentation is also unique to Kawasaki and mixes analog and digital screen on a bluish background of the most beautiful effect..

Its availability is announced for the end of January, at a price that has not yet been communicated. To grab market share in this very competitive segment, this opponent of the Yamaha X-Max and Honda Forza must imperatively play it "placed" at this level: a price as close as possible to the 3300 euros requested by Kymco for its Dink Street would be a good way to achieve it…
