EVERY ENTHUSIAST has a weak spot for in-line-four engines. They have had us hooked for years with their exhaust note and power delivery, giving us many moments to cherish. Which is why we have been riding the Zooo, even though its last significant update was in 2020.
Today, it is the most accessible inline four-naked motorcycle in our market. Join us as we try to decode its relevance in the modern world and how it fits into the motorcycling scene in India.
Sugomi design is based on the concept of a predator hunting its prey and, once you see it, it is impossible to forget. If one can imagine the Z900's headlights to be the eyes of a beast and the butch fuel tank and front cowls as its shoulders, it is easy to see the intent and aggression. The good news here is that the new model continues to stay true to the legacy of its predecessors while also featuring useful kit such as LED lighting all around. If you liked the previous models, it will be difficult to say no to this one.
While the fully digital console is the most noticeable change from the rider's seat, it is also interesting to note that the rider's seat is now 25 millimetres taller. Does it reduce ease of accessibility to riders? Yes, but not by much because the contours of the seat and the fuel tank manage to make this Z's riding position fairly friendly considering the size of the motorcycle.
