2027 Kawasaki Z1100 Engine and Performance
The 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 continues to use a 1,099cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four-cylinder engine that produces 136hp and 113Nm of peak torque. Power is delivered through a six-speed gearbox, although the supplied source does not detail any transmission changes for the 2027 model.
The same engine architecture is also used in the Kawasaki Versys 1100, where it produces 135hp and 112Nm in a slightly different state of tune.
With no changes to the engine output, the 2027 Z1100 focuses on carrying forward the existing performance package rather than introducing a new powertrain.
Suspension, Brakes and Chassis
The motorcycle uses a tubular diamond frame paired with a 41mm upside-down front fork offering 120mm of travel. The front suspension allows compression and rebound adjustments, giving riders the ability to tailor the setup to their preferences.
At the rear, a back-linkage monoshock provides 136mm of travel, with preload and rebound adjustability. This setup remains unchanged for the 2027 model year.
Braking duties are handled by dual 310mm Brembo discs at the front and a single 260mm disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is also part of the standard equipment.

2027 Kawasaki Z1100 Features and Rider Aids
Kawasaki has retained the Z1100’s existing electronics package. The motorcycle gets a 5-inch TFT instrument display, smartphone connectivity and a bi-directional quickshifter.
Its rider assistance systems include three levels of corner-sensitive traction control, cruise control and dual-channel ABS. These features are designed to support riders across different road conditions while preserving the motorcycle’s performance-focused character.
The 2027 Z1100 is available in a single Ebony/Metallic Carbon Grey colour option, with no additional colour introduced for the new model year.

The Z1100 has a 17-litre fuel tank and a listed kerb weight of 220kg. While its weight is worth considering for low-speed manoeuvres and parking, the motorcycle’s overall package remains unchanged for 2027.
2027 Kawasaki Z1100 Price and Rivals
At Rs. 12.79 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi, the 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 retains the same price as its predecessor. It sits above the smaller Kawasaki Z900, which is listed at Rs. 9.99 lakh, while the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP is priced at Rs. 13.29 lakh according to the supplied source.
The Z1100 therefore occupies the middle ground between Kawasaki’s more accessible Z900 and the higher-priced Honda CB1000 Hornet SP. Buyers considering the Z1100 should weigh its 1,099cc inline-four engine and electronics package against the price and performance offered by these alternatives.
Auto India Daily Verdict
The 2027 Kawasaki Z1100 is a carry-forward update rather than a major redesign. Its 136hp engine, adjustable suspension, Brembo braking hardware and electronic rider aids remain intact, while the ex-showroom price stays at Rs. 12.79 lakh.
For buyers who were already considering the Z1100, the unchanged price keeps the motorcycle’s positioning consistent. However, existing owners should not expect a meaningful mechanical upgrade over the previous model. The key decision for new buyers will be whether the Z1100’s litre-class performance and feature package justify the premium over the smaller Z900.
