The 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 is now on sale in India at Rs 12.79 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). That is the same price as the 2026 model. Kawasaki has not changed the bike at all for the new year.

Kawasaki Z1100 price in India
The 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 costs Rs 12,79,000 (ex-showroom). This price is listed on Kawasaki India's own website.
| Model | Ex-showroom price |
|---|---|
| 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 | Rs 12.79 lakh |
| 2026 Kawasaki Z1100 | Rs 12.79 lakh |
The on-road price will be higher. It adds road tax, registration and insurance. These costs change from state to state. Ask your nearest Kawasaki dealer for the exact on-road price in your city.
What is new in the 2027 Kawasaki Z1100?
Nothing. Kawasaki has kept the bike the same as the 2026 model. The engine, the frame, the features and the price are all the same.
There is still only one colour. It is called Ebony / Metallic Carbon Grey. The Indian bike comes with a single seat.
So why the new year tag? Bike makers often update the model year so that new stock carries the latest date. This helps buyers at the time of resale.
Kawasaki Z1100 engine and performance
The Z1100 is a big naked bike. It has a 1,099cc inline four-cylinder engine. The same engine is used in the Versys 1100 adventure bike, where it makes slightly less power.
| Spec | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1,099cc, liquid-cooled, inline four |
| Power | 136 PS at 9,000 rpm |
| Torque | 113 Nm at 7,600 rpm |
| Gearbox | 6-speed |
| Quickshifter | Yes, up and down |
| Clutch | Assist and slipper |
| Final drive | Chain |
The quickshifter lets you change gears without using the clutch. It works both up and down. The assist and slipper clutch makes the clutch lever light and stops the rear wheel from hopping when you shift down fast.
Kawasaki Z1100 features
The Z1100 comes with a lot of tech for the rider. Here are the main features:
- 5-inch colour TFT screen
- Bluetooth link with your phone, with call and message alerts
- Turn-by-turn navigation through the phone app
- Traction control with three levels that works in corners
- Dual-channel ABS
- Cruise control
- Power modes
- IMU (a sensor that reads how the bike leans and moves)
Cruise control is very handy on long highway rides. It holds the speed for you, so your right hand can rest.
Kawasaki Z1100 suspension, brakes and size
| Spec | Details |
|---|---|
| Front suspension | 41mm upside-down fork, 120mm travel |
| Rear suspension | Back-link monoshock, 136mm travel |
| Front brakes | Dual 310mm discs |
| Rear brake | Single 260mm disc |
| Tyres | 120/70 ZR17 front, 190/50 ZR17 rear |
| Seat height | 815 mm |
| Ground clearance | 125 mm |
| Wheelbase | 1,440 mm |
| Fuel tank | 17 litres |
| Kerb weight | 220 kg |
The front fork can be adjusted for compression and rebound. The rear shock can be adjusted for preload and rebound. This lets you set up the bike for your weight and your riding style.
The 815 mm seat height is fine for most riders of average height. But at 220 kg, the bike is heavy. New riders should take a test ride before they buy.
What is the mileage of the Kawasaki Z1100?
Kawasaki India lists a fuel use figure of 5.6 litres per 100 km. That works out to about 17.9 kmpl. This is a lab number. Real-world mileage will depend on how you ride. With a 17-litre tank, you can expect close to 300 km on a full tank in normal riding.
How to book the 2027 Kawasaki Z1100
Bookings are open at Kawasaki dealers across India. Deliveries started on October 19, as per Autocar India. To book, visit your nearest Kawasaki dealer with an ID proof and an address proof. The dealer will tell you the booking amount and the waiting time in your city.
Before you book, take a test ride. A 1,099cc bike feels very different from a 250cc or 400cc bike. Check if you are happy with the weight and the seat height.
Is the Kawasaki Z1100 worth buying?
The Z1100 is for riders who want a big four-cylinder engine with lots of tech, but do not want to pay for a top superbike. The price has not gone up for 2027, which is good news. The single colour and the 220 kg weight are the weak points.
