Kawasaki announced a new 125cc mini-bike for Asian markets, and we’re already praying it will be brought over to the U.S. for an eventual shootout against the Honda Grom.

I thought it was coming to the U.S. and Canadian markets too... Did they hint at bringing the Z125 over at all?

not confirmed as of yet, but its more then likely...

Not bringing it over would be horrible for them. Honda provided an example of what to expect of the market, now with Kawi offering what I think is a better and more attractive package, they shouldn't have a problem moving these to that crowd and bringing some first timers to the segment.

I think that a lot of the sales will come down to brand loyalty. People will flock towards whichever brand they like more.

That's part of it, those wanting a manual 4-speed might not be as loyal but just care for what ever has the better package. But honda might respond.

How long until Honda lets us know if they're bringing the z125 over?
