presentation of the Ninja 125 Performance 2020
In a Kawasaki school, every student would be honored with the sharp edge of a ZX-10R. Classrooms would bear the names of Rea, Sebileau, Mang, Russell, Tortelli, Lancelot... Sliders would hang from coat racks... Dreams like paintings would be filled with trajectories... And on the way out, a swarm of green bees would join the streets.
The Ninja 125 has a little of this in its veins. It's where the sport begins for Kawa, with its strong silhouette, half-guidelines and tapered trajectories to compensate for the measured power (and legal maximum) of its single-cylinder. A little less discretion wouldn't hurt either.
This can be remedied with the Performance package. In the Ninja family, this essentially means fitting a more expressive exhaust: Akrapovic for the larger models, Arrow for the 125. The Italian equipment manufacturer's stainless steel casing is complemented by carbon. The ambience is more sonorous, the styling more virile. The latter is enhanced by a seat cover in the same colors as the bike. And for those who are a little too optimistic in the bends or when their foot slips on a puddle of fuel, a pair of frame protectors will limit material disasters.
By becoming a Performance model, the Ninja 125 also moves up a notch in price. In any case, as soon as you start equipping the bike, you have to plan for a more or less substantial dent in your wallet. The Pack gives you a certain customer advantage, and the satisfaction of riding away with a Ninja that's more confident and looks better than ever. Just in time, here's the RC 125, theYZF-R125 and a few kittens waiting to rumble. Time to get started!
