Kawasaki Z125 Test Ride Review | Best Beginner Mini Bike?

In this video, I take the 2024 Kawasaki Z125 Pro out for a full test ride review. The Z125 is Kawasaki’s answer to the Honda Grom 125, delivering a fun, lightweight ride that’s perfect for beginners, smaller riders, and anyone looking for an affordable mini bike.

The 2024 Kawasaki Z125 Pro comes with a 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed transmission, producing smooth and efficient power that’s ideal for city streets and short commutes. Weighing in at just 224 lbs curb weight and offering a 30.7-inch seat height, the Z125 is super approachable for newer or shorter riders. It also features front and rear disc brakes, 31mm inverted front forks, and a sporty suspension setup that makes it nimble and responsive.

Fuel efficiency is a huge plus — riders can expect over 100 MPG, making this bike both fun and affordable to own. Top speed hovers around 55–60 mph, which means it’s not a highway machine, but it’s more than capable for neighborhood riding, city commutes, and stunt practice.
