Overview
- The 948 cc inline-four is now rated at 116 hp and 98 Nm, with revised gear ratios for smoother low-speed rideability.
- New electronics include ride-by-wire throttle, an IMU enabling Kawasaki Cornering Management Function, cruise control and a bi-directional quickshifter.
- A new megaphone-style exhaust and reshaped headers aim to deliver a richer, more classic sound while preserving the retro look.
- An SE variant adds premium hardware with Brembo front brakes and an Öhlins rear suspension unit with a remote adjuster.
- Kawasaki plans an official launch in January 2026; pricing is not yet announced and an India debut is reported for later next year.
