Kawasaki has officially launched the 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 in India, priced at ₹12.79 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The litre-class super-naked retains the same price tag as the previous model year, with bookings now open and deliveries commencing across dealerships nationwide. Despite carrying a new model year designation, the motorcycle remains mechanically and feature-wise identical to its predecessor.
Available in a striking single colour option — Ebony / Metallic Carbon Grey — the Z1100 continues to serve as Kawasaki’s flagship naked bike in the Indian market, targeting riders seeking high performance, refined electronics, and everyday usability in the 1100cc segment.
Kawasaki Z1100 2027 Price in India
The 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 is priced at ₹12.79 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Kawasaki has chosen to maintain the same price as the outgoing model, offering strong value in the competitive litre-class naked motorcycle segment. Bookings are open at authorised Kawasaki dealerships, and deliveries have already begun across the country.
Key Competitors
At this price point, the Z1100 primarily competes with:
- Honda CB1000 Hornet SP – ₹13.29 lakh
- Kawasaki Z900 – ₹9.99 lakh (positioned as a more accessible alternative within the same brand)
Engine & Performance: Unchanged but Proven
Under the tank sits Kawasaki’s well-regarded 1,099cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine, which continues to deliver 136 hp and 113 Nm of torque. This powerplant is shared with the updated Versys 1100 adventure tourer (which produces a slightly lower 135 hp and 112 Nm), underscoring the engine’s versatility across different motorcycle categories.
The 2027 Z1100 remains mechanically identical to the 2026 model. Riders can expect the same sharp throttle response, strong mid-range pull, and high-revving character that define this engine. A bi-directional quickshifter comes as standard, enabling clutchless upshifts and downshifts for smoother, faster gear changes.
Chassis, Suspension & Braking Setup
The Z1100 uses a tubular diamond chassis that balances rigidity with feedback. Suspension duties are handled by a 41 mm upside-down front fork offering 120 mm of travel with compression and rebound adjustability. At the rear, a back-linkage monoshock provides 136 mm of travel and is adjustable for preload and rebound.
Braking performance is managed by dual 310 mm Brembo discs at the front and a single 260 mm disc at the rear, supported by dual-channel ABS for confident stopping power in varied conditions.
Advanced Rider Aids & Connectivity Features
Kawasaki has retained the full suite of electronic rider aids and convenience features that made the previous model popular:
- 5-inch full-colour TFT display – clear and modern instrument cluster
- Bi-directional quickshifter – clutchless shifts in both directions
- Three-level corner-sensitive traction control – enhances grip and confidence in corners
- Dual-channel ABS – standard safety feature
- Cruise control – reduces fatigue on longer rides
- Smartphone connectivity – for navigation, calls, and music integration
Dimensions, Weight & Everyday Usability
With a 17-litre fuel tank and a kerb weight of 220 kg, the Z1100 offers a practical balance of range and handling. The combination of a manageable weight, upright naked-bike ergonomics, and refined electronics makes it suitable for both spirited weekend rides and longer touring stints.
Why the 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 Still Matters
Although the 2027 model introduces no mechanical or equipment updates, the Z1100 continues to hold a strong position in India’s growing premium motorcycle market. By keeping the price unchanged while delivering proven performance, modern electronics, and Kawasaki’s trademark reliability, the bike remains a compelling choice for riders looking for a true litre-class super-naked without stepping into higher price brackets.
For buyers who prioritise performance, electronics, and brand prestige in the 1100cc segment, the Kawasaki Z1100 remains one of the most complete packages available at this price point.
