Kawasaki rejuvenates its 2019 motorcycle range with the Ninja 125 and Z125

Kawasaki fills a gap in its catalog with new 125cc motorcycles: the little sporty Ninja 125 and the Z125 roadster. Appointment is given at the Cologne show (Germany) to discover these 2019 novelties, accessible to the A1 license and to the holders of the B license (with 7-hour training, if applicable).

Of the four Japanese manufacturers, Kawasaki is so far the only one whose offer is devoid of 125 cc motorcycles, with the exception of its motocross and enduro. Ironically, the only eighth of a liter for road use among the Greens is the … scooter designed on a Kymco basis. And the 16-year-olds holding the A1 license, then ?!

Their engine – a water-cooled single cylinder – develops the legal power of 15 hp, while the cycle part is articulated around a tubular steel trellis tinted in green. Braking is based at the front on a single disc – serrated – and 2-piston calipers.

Only the trim and ergonomics really differ between these two novelties, one taking up the angular style of the Z roadsters while the other adopts nothing less than a "silhouette straight down from Jonathan Rea’s Ninja ZX-10RR , three-time winner of the Superbike world championship, ”says the manufacturer. Enough to be on pole for high school lessons ?!

Their saddle height peaks at 785 mm for the Ninja and 815 mm for the Z: values ​​a little high at first glance, but which must be put in perspective with the extreme finesse of the 125 cc motorcycles. Not to mention that their suspensions, often basic and adjusted rather flexible, have a significant dead travel which reduces their height by as much when seated..

These Ninja 125 and Z125 – with final transmission by chain – also receive rims in 100/80/17 and 130/70/17 and a raised handlebar to avoid constraints, like the. Kawasaki does not however communicate the capacity of their tank, their weight or their maximum torque..

The Green brand also remains discreet about the price of these new 125 cc, but promises "full information at the Intermot show in Cologne on October 2", one day before. The German meeting will provide the opportunity to place them against the competition, in particular the very similar Suzuki and launched at the end of 2016..
