Kawasaki Z is the popular Street Naked Sports series of giant Kawasaki Motorcycle. The company already is marketing a 125cc pocket Z that is called Kawasaki Z 125 PRO. But that Z125 PRO is not a regular street sports model as that profiled as a pocket commuter.

Kawasaki Z125 – Wheel, Brake & Suspension

Here the new Z125 comes with 17” all alloy rims with tubeless tires. The tires are 100/80-17 in front and 130/70-17 in the rear. So they are duly featured for street sports riding and plying on solid surfaces.
Coming to the braking system both the wheel fitted with a hydraulic disk braking system. Here the disks are sporty petal and vented type. Furthermore, both the rear and front assembly come with a double piston clipper assembly. Hence the braking system is also enhanced with an independent ABS system.

In the suspension system, the Kawasaki Z125 comes with a 5-way adjustable mono-shock absorber in the rear. The suspension is gas charged and united with the swingarm through the Uni-Track system. Hence with 120mm travel, it is featured to be more stable in high-speed corners and will allow sports riding even in sharp corners.
Here front suspension of Z125 is a 37mm hydraulic telescopic fork suspension that comes with 110mm travel. Hence again it also featured hardcore sports riding, playing, and also commuting on the roads. So you can see the new machine is fully featured with sports characteristics.
Kawasaki Z125 – Engine & Feature
The new Kawasaki Z125 is powered by a new powerful 125cc capacity engine. The engine is a four-stroke, single-cylinder, and liquid-cooled engine. Here valve system is featured with DOHC with four valves and fuel-injected with a 28mm throttle body fuel injection system.
Hence with 11.7:1 compression, even this small displacement engine can produce significant power and torque. But due to the oversquare cylinder, its power is quite higher than the torque. Therefore street sports riding should be crispier as the power figure is around 15PS and torque is around 11.7NM.
Again the engine is a high rev character engine that comes with the 6-gear transmission. Its maximum torque is delivered at 10,00RPM. So the acceleration should hit up to the top RPM range. Sequentially riding or playing with sporty style is widely appreciated with the new Z125 and you know this is the true characteristic of the Kawasaki Z Series.
