Z250SL comes with the same chassis as the Ninja 250SL which is the beautiful Trellis-like frame (in the tech specs it is called diamond type, but I’ll call it Trellis anyway). Compared to the supersports Ninja 250SL, the frame are now much more visible to the eyes as the bike is naked type that shows the muscle and the chassis under it. At 148 kg (Non-ABS model), the Z250SL is almost 20 kg lighter than the Z250. The light weight is a significant factor in the bike’s nimble handling. Compared to the Ninja 250SL, this Z250SL is even lighter with 3kg difference.

The exposure of the Trellis frame gives it a little bit of Italian kind of feel since this kind of frame is favourite for Italian manufacturers especially Ducati. The frame are exposed nicely with the metal grey colour that separates it from the black engine casing.

The 4-stroke engine as we already know from the Ninja 250SL introduction, comes from KLX250. The engine provides 28hp maximum power at 9,700RPM with 22.6Nm from 8,200RPM.

Compared to the 2-cylinder Ninja 250, this Z250SL engine is only 4hp less than the 32hp engine of the Ninja. Z250SL got the usual DOHC 4-valve liquid-cooled engine for that performance needs.

Rear suspension are handled with the monoshock Uni-Trak suspension for better handling of the bike in slow or fast riding condition. Similar technology are also used by Honda with the name Pro-Link.

All-digital instrument panel gives the cockpit a modern, sporty look. Its easy-to-read features include a digital bar-graph tachometer, digital speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, clock, and fuel gauge. Amber backlighting contributes to the Z image and facilitates instrument visibility at night.

The handlebar are flat and wide for that nimble handling. You can flick it easily in traffic to change direction. The handlebar are also easy to manage for everyday riding if compared to the supersports 250SL.

Like other models in the Z Series, the Z250SL’s aggressive styling hints at its sporty potential. Following a “slim and sexy” design theme, the contrast between its flared and waisted sections gives the bike a dynamic, hourglass figure. Its parts were all designed to be as compact as possible, and are mounted as closely as possible to the frame to further reinforce the bike’s slim design as well as adding to high quality looks.

Front and rear disc brakes offer impressive stopping performance. Petal disc design adds to the sporty Kawasaki looks.

Kawasaki Z250SL is one fierce contender in naked 250cc category as it got that slim body and chassis, good looks, great 1-cylinder engine from KLX250 and lower price than the Z250, Ninja 250 and even the Ninja 250SL.

In Malaysia, we only get the Black/Red and Red/Grey colour. The green colour is to show about the features of the Z250SL.

2014 Kawasaki Z250SL price is RM15,739 (basic price). We think this is a good price coming from Kawasaki. If we look at the competitors; 2014 Honda CBR250R is priced at RM19,999, 2013 KTM Duke 200 at RM15,888 or even the Ninja 250SL itself at RM17,689; we can see that this Z250SL really killing its competitors.
