The BS6 emission-compliant motorcycle now gets better components and electronic rider aids

• The 2020 model gets a new LED headlight and TFT screen.
• It will arrive in two colours.
• Exact prices will be revealed in early 2020.

Kawasaki India is spreading some Christmas cheer by bringing in the 2020 Z900 to our shores. While Kawasaki claims to have launched the bike, the company has not divulged an exact figure yet. The Japanese bike maker has stated that new Z900 would retail between Rs 8.50 lakh and Rs 9.0 lakh. Even if we consider that Kawasaki does launch this new bike at Rs 8.50 lakh, it would mean that a price hike of nearly Rs 80,000 is in store for the naked over its BS4 version.
