The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Same 948cc engine as the Z900 wrapped in genuine 1970s-inspired retro bodywork, a distinct look in the segment
  • Real chrome and round-headlamp detailing bring genuine heritage appeal the plain Z900 does not offer

Worth knowing

  • Real price premium of nearly Rs 6.8 lakh over the mechanically related Z900
  • Real ownership costs (service, parts) run meaningfully higher than mainstream Indian brands
