Japanese bike manufacturer Kawasaki has launched the all-new Z900 in Indonesia at IDR 225 million (approximately Rs 11.27 lakh). The bike has replaced the Z800 in the Indonesian market and will do the same in India in the approaching months. The Z800, currently available at around Rs 8.15 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai) in India is known for its nippy handling and aggressive looks. 

As far as the Z900 is concerned, the super naked machine is expected to prove as a worthy successor to the Z800. Reason being, the new 948cc inline-four cylinder motor, which is derived from its elder sibling, the Z1000. The liquid-cooled motor is good for 126PS of power and 98Nm of torque, and is bolted to a lightweight trellis frame chassis of added stiffness. The bike features a 6-speed transmission with slipper clutch for smoother downshifts. All of this is packaged in a tight looking streetfighter, which is also 21kg lighter than the Z800! You know where this is going. Absolutely bananas!
