The Kawasaki Z250 was launched in India in 2015 but hasn’t found many takers as the motorcycle doesn’t justify its price tag. However, being Kawasaki’s entry-level offering for India, Kawasaki has re-launched the Z250 after it was discontinued earlier this month due to non-compliance with the latest emission norms. The Japanese automaker has launched the BS4 version of the Z250 which is priced at Rs. 3.09 lakhs (ex-showroom, Pune).
The 2017 Kawasaki Z250 gets no changes at all, it continues with the same mechanicals although the motor sees revisions to emit less. The 249cc, parallel-twin engine produces 32 PS of power at 11,000 RPM and 21 Nm of torque at 10,000 RPM, matched to a 6-speed gearbox. Even though the bike meets stricter emission norms, output numbers have been retained.
The Kawasaki Z250 misses out on ABS with braking duties being taken care by a 290 mm petal disc up front and a 220 mm petal disc at the rear. With a 17-litre fuel tank, the Z250 has a good touring range. However, given the CKD route of bringing this motorcycle to India, the entry-level Kwacker doesn’t offer any bang for the buck and thus sells in low numbers. We were hoping Kawasaki would bring the Z300 to India instead.
