Kawasaki seems to be preparing the launch of a new model for its “Z” line of street fighters for next year, and a recently published video titled “PERFORMANCE – 30/10/2024” seems to contain several clues in that direction. At the beginning of the video, the word “PERFORMANCE” appears highlighted, suggesting that it is a new high-performance model.
In addition, the “Z” logo is visible on the rider’s helmet, reinforcing that it is a model from Kawasaki’s famous “Z” family. It is speculated that the new launch could be an update of the current Z900 or even a completely new model, such as a possible Z1100 with a renewed engine.
In recent years, the category of liter-class naked bikes has become increasingly popular among manufacturers, with recent launches such as the Honda CB1000 Hornet and the BMW S1000R.
Although Kawasaki has not yet made an official announcement in Japan, the publication of mysterious content on local social networks suggests that the launch of the new “Z” may be imminent. It remains to be seen more details about this potential new Kawasaki model for 2025.
