TAKES
without the intimidation, high
seat heights or expense
and is also great for those
experienced, fun-loving,
thrill-seeking riders who want
a second bike to ride around
town or through the pits at
the local racetrack. It's the
dark side of fun.
The engine is designed
specifically for the Z125
Pro. The single-cylinder,
four-stroke SOHC engine
displaces an actual 125cc
thanks to its over-square
56.0 x 50.6mm bore and
stroke. The 125cc engine is
tuned for street riding with
an exciting and sporty, yet
easy to ride power delivery,
says Kawasaki. The Z125
Pro features digital fuel
injection with a 24mm throttle
body. The 2.6-liter air box
is positioned above and
forward of the cylinder head,
contributing to the sporty
power feeling and helping
to minimize intake noise.
Cam profiles and intake port
design also contribute to the
smooth, quick-revving engine
character, as well as stable
idling. It has a manual four-
speed transmission.
Claimed wet weight is
224.8 pounds and holds two
gallons of fuel. Seat height is
30.7 inches, and suspension
and high-tensile steel frame
are stout enough for two-
up riding. It also features
a highly rigid box-section
swingarm.
The Z125 Pro will be
available in two colors:
Candy Lime Green and
Metallic Graphite Grey. It will
be available in June with an
MSRP of $2999.
