The image of the new entry-level Kawasaki Z125 emerges online. As the image is of poor quality, so the exact details cannot be seen clearly and it is expected that Kawasaki will reveal a 125cc machine on October 25, 2015, ahead of the Tokyo motor show.

As the picture suggested, this lightweight monster seems to be inspired from Kawasaki ER-6n. It gets a low-set headlamp along with a masculine fuel tank with shrouds and raised tail, which gives an aggressive appearance to the bike. Coming to the visuals, the bike will be available in two colour options- Green and Grey, and it gets a nice “Z” badging on the shrouds. Powering the bike is expected to be a new 125cc, single-cylinder, horizontally mounted engine like the Honda Grom 125, which is not available in the Indian market. The engine has been coupled with an underbelly exhaust, which enhances the predator appeal of the machine.

The Kawasaki Z125 seems to be built on a perimeter type frame, which gets dual disc brakes, alloy wheels, inverted telescopic forks up front and mono shock type rear suspension. The seat of the bike is a single type and the handlebar is also a normal one-piece type, which hints that it could be introduced as a commuter motorcycle in some of the targeted markets.
