2024 Kawasaki Z125 Pro Returns: New Colors Rev Up the Budget-Friendly Streetfighter

The Kawasaki Z125 Pro makes a return in 2024, keeping its tried-and-true formula with a few aesthetic tweaks. Ever since its launch in 2016, this compact street bike has captivated riders and remains an exceptional value-for-money option. For 2024, Kawasaki has kept the mechanics unchanged, choosing to freshen up the Z125 Pro's appeal with new color options and a slight adjustment in price.

What's new for 2024?

The Kawasaki Z125 Pro continues to be a stellar choice for beginners and experienced riders alike who appreciate its nimble handling and straightforward design. For 2024, the motorcycle retains its 125cc engine and four-speed gearbox. The primary changes come in the form of new color options. Buyers can now choose between Candy Lime Green, Metallic Matte Dark Gray, and a special Cypher Camo Gray/Metallic Matte Carbon Gray. Prices for the 2024 model start at $3,649, with the premium paint option available for an additional $200.

Keeping it simple, keeping it fun

The Z125 Pro doesn't boast high-end features, but that’s part of its charm. It keeps things straightforward with a 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, electric start, and digital fuel injection. No advanced rider aids are present; instead, you'll find a cable-actuated clutch and an easy-to-master four-speed transmission. The bike features basic instrumentation, including an analog tachometer and a digital LCD for speed and other essential data.

Performance and handling

Although the Z125 Pro might not win any speed races with its modest 8 horsepower, it excels in agility and ease of use. Its lightweight steel frame and 30mm telescopic front fork contribute to its responsive handling. With a top speed of 65 mph, it's more than capable for city commuting. It also features a surprisingly spacious 2-gallon fuel tank for extended rides.

A family resemblance

The 2024 Z125 Pro proudly carries the aggressive styling of its larger Z-series counterparts. Its compact engine shrouds and narrow waist give the bike an assertive appearance, in line with Kawasaki's design philosophy.
