Kawasaki have pulled the covers off their 2021 Z900, Vulcan S and Ninja 1000SX ranges, with fresh colours, plus the continuation of optional 'Edition' models to cater for both sports and touring rider demands.
Starting with the fully-faired Ninja, the bike will be available in three liveries; with black taking a central theme alongside lashings of either red, grey or green. There is no longer a paint job featuring white, as currently found on the 2020 version. As is already the way, Kawasaki will also sell you the gently set Ninja in a range of 'Editions' that cater for both sporty and distance travel. Starting with the Performance Edition, the bike will feature frame sliders, smoked windscreen, a gel tank pad, a colour matched seat cover and an Akrapovič exhaust. This differs from the Tourer Edition, which gets dual lockable 28-litre colour-matched panniers, a bigger screen and sat nav bracket.
Combining the best of both worlds is the Performance Tourer Edition, which gets all the best bits of both of the aforementioned models, including the panniers and exhaust, plus heated grips. Prices of each of these bikes are yet to be announced.
Away from faired tourers, Kawasaki’s road-focussed roadster Z900 also gets a mild alteration for 2021. Much like the Ninja 1000SX, the existing 900 was a new model for 2020, so it’s unsurprising that it only receives small changes.
Starting with the colours, riders have a choice of green or red trellis frames with a variety of black finishes on the exterior bodywork. Also available is a 'Pearl Blizzard White / Metallic Spark Black' finish, which stands out as a vibrant alternative, complete with glossy lime green wheels.
Once more for 2021, a Performance Edition will also be available with a minimalist smoked screen, a gel tank pad, colour coded seat cover and Akrapovič exhaust, complete with carbon heat shield. Expect bikes to be in dealers from December, with prices to be announced soon.
Elsewhere, Kawasaki's Vulcan S has also been treated to a fresh lick of paint. Gone are the black and gold, plus black and green options, to be replaced by a black and blue ‘ebony’ design, alongside a grey, red and black option. An all-black livery remains as before. Expect new bikes to arrive in December 2020.
