presentation of the Z 125 Performance 2022
Barely launched into the 125 arena, the smallest Z is already receiving its first sword. Well-designed, with a playful, incisive profile and bearing the Akashi spirit, it has already joined the Performance family. It will thus be able to offer a number of attributes ideal for asserting its total allegiance to the Z philosophy and giving the lie to those who want to make their mark in the field.
A little penalized by its weight, giving more effort to the 125 cm3 single-cylinder and 15 horsepower, this little roadster can count on an Arrow exhaust to give it voice and looks. Its stainless steel body ends in a carbon tip.
Style is important on this Z 125 Performance. That's why it comes with a body-colored seat cover. And, as this machine will be doing quite a bit of city riding, and there are plenty of opportunities to treat yourself to a waffle, the sides are fitted with side guards. Their design is a little questionable, but you won't care once they've saved the frame and engine sides.
With the Performance pack, the savings are substantial compared to buying the aforementioned accessories separately. Even so, the final bill is a little steep. It's up to you to decide how you'd like to treat yourself to a small, beautifully styled motorcycle.
