A Competitor for the Honda MSX 125: Kawasaki Z 125

[Dutchbike]

New mini bike from Kawasaki ( to replace the KSR?) the Z 125.

Finally the MSX 125 has a competitor.

[canuckamuck]

Sharp looking bike, are there specs available?

[Dutchbike]

^^

No specs yet but I expect it's based on the KSR

I don't get it, what is it for?

[Briggsy]

The KSR was very popular. Kawasaki is a trusted brand which has the potential to always sell well.

This will attract a crowd who don't want the weight or expense of a 250/300cc bike or bigger but want a mini-motard look that stands out from the mass of Waves, Clicks, etc.

[TheRoadWarrior]

all the toms will have one soon, you can see them picking up their gogo girlfriends after work

Not to mention the mass of MSXs.

This is a nice looking little bike. Yet to see the price but it should sell well as long as it's close to the MSX.

74,999 baht

I would like to see a 250 MSX with an adult sized frame.

MSX is priced at 67,800 I believe. But this one looks much better imo. Never liked the looks of the MSX.

LOL. My 18 y/o step daughter is a tom. She rides a KSR, with farkles and a loudish aftermarket pipe. Her girlfriend is a 24 y/o stunner. And she's got a line of beauties waiting to be her next "dee".

[MatteoBassini]

I don't get it, what is it for?

City riding. People who want a small bike looks cool. But I would rather go with Exciter or CBR150 in that case.

im sharing a gik with a tom currently.... she sees me when i let her come over (IE im not busy with someone else) and if im busy, then she goes to the tom for "comfort" 555.... working out quite well so far

[papa al]

And hopefully some video.

It's VERY similar to the Honda MSX.....

[JaseTheBass]

Not like them to copy Honda...

[bramds]

It is just a small Z800.

[roly]

My missus got one in orange. Great little bike for a Thai lady. There's a "pro" version with a clutch and there's a model without. She got the clutch one. Looks sharp. Would post a pic but there doesn't appear to be an attach button!

Agreed, wasnt until I saw some fully modded MSX's that I thought, nice, standard just odd boxy look from many angles.

And they were just Honda trying to steal Kawis market, by copying the KSR style/size/layout,

everywhere Kawi lays out a market Honda drops in like an uninvited uncle.

Anyway hoe, how did this become a thread about RW bragging about free sex?

It appears that Benelli also wants to compete in this small sportbike market with the TNT 135:

[canuckamuck]

Love to know the price on the Benelli

[aberman1970]

The prices were in the link in post #22

[ktm jeff]

With the fancy exhaust and swing arm and some very nice touches such as angled tire valves , this seems another very well thought out bike from Benelli. Priced at 80% of the Kawasaki , the bike market keeps getting better and better.

[canuckamuck]

Is that it at the top? 59,900?

[Issanman]

It looks like it says 59900 to me, too,

Here is a link where they do a brief comparison to the Honda MSX125 (Honda Grom) in english: LINK
