Learn more about Kawasaki

Kawasaki is renewing some hyper-strategic models in its range for 2017. The Z 800 is replaced by a Z 900, the ER-6n becomes the Z 650 and the ER-6f makes way for a 650 Ninja. The Z 1000 SX evolves in design, while the H2 and H2R get an Öhlins shock absorber and the Bosch IMU inertial unit. A special Carbon version completes the H2 range, and a limited ZX-10RR series opens the way to Superbike. The trail family expands downwards with the Versys-X 300, while the Z 1000 is available in an R version with Öhlins amorto and the 650 Vulcan S in Café edition. The small Vulcan (S, SE and Café) will be Kawa's only custom bike in 2017. The Vulcan 900 and 1700 do not pass Euro4 and will leave the European catalog during the year. The Ninja 300 R, Z 300, Ninja ZX-6R 636 and 600 ZX-6R, the W800 and the GTR 1400 will also be discontinued.
