The Versys-X 300, which is a new model this year, gets two new colours for 2018; Candy Lime Green with Metallic Graphite Grey and Metallic Spark Black with Metallic Graphite Grey.
Big mile bashers
The ZZR1400 will be available in metallic carbon grey and emerald blaze green and the ZZR1400 Performance Sport model will feature a predominant emerald blazed green with metallic carbon grey detailing.
The Versys 1000 will be getting three new colourways for the 2018 model year too and will be available in metallic spark black, candy fire red and metallic spark black with the final colour option coming in candy lime green with metallic spark black details and looks especially smart in our opinion.
Z900 joins the party
Kawasaki have now announced a completely new colour for another bike in their Z range, the Z900, which was released this year.
The Z900 will soon be available in Candy Persimmon Red with Metallic Spark Black, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the red GPZs, no? I approve, and a splash of white would really make it even better.
The darkest colour option will now come with red rim tape and will see Flat Ebony replaced with Flat Metallic Spark Black. The Candy Lime Green option will receive a few detail highlights while the Pearl Mystic Grey option remains unchanged.
The new colours on the Z900 will be available in October 2017.
Scoot-happy
The J300 and J125 scooters will also see some subtle changes and colours too. With the former being available in gunmetal grey and metallic anthracite black alongside a matte option in this colour too.
The smaller J125 will be available in flat anthracite black and matte gunmetal grey and will come with graphic changes too.
