Kawasaki has launched the Kawasaki Z250 SL in the Indonesian market at 38.9 million Indonesian Rupiah (INR 2.03 lakhs). The naked sports bike was launched in two variants, with and without ABS, with the more expensive ABS version priced at 44.9 million Rupiah (INR 2.34 lakhs).
The Z250 SL (SL denoting 'Super Lightweight') is positioned below the Z250 street racer in the company's lineup. The Z250 SL weighs in at a light 148 kg, thanks mainly to the lack of a fairing.
