- Kawasaki Z range updated with new colours
- Remain mechanically similar to the previous model year
- Could be updated in AUS and NZ soon
Kawasaki has revealed its updated 2026 Z model range, which will feature five motorcycles, each receiving new colour schemes. While the mechanicals remain unchanged, the refreshed paint jobs are set to arrive in dealerships between October and November, depending on the model.
The updated line-up includes the Z500, Z650, Z900, and two SE variants. All five models will hit European dealerships later this year. The Z500 and Z500 SE are expected in November, while the remaining three bikes will be available from October. Pricing is yet to be announced.
The Z500 and Z500 SE will come in five new colourways but retain the same parallel-twin engine, chassis, brakes, and suspension as their 2025 counterparts—making this a purely cosmetic refresh.
The Z650 also sticks with its proven formula, including the steel trellis frame, 649cc engine, full LED lighting, KTRC traction control, and a coloured TFT display. The highlight here is a new Pearl Blizzard White colour scheme.
As for the Z900, it receives three new paint options, though it too remains unchanged mechanically and technically.
Rounding off the line-up is the Z900 SE, the most premium model of the bunch. Known for its Brembo brakes and Öhlins suspension, the SE also gets one new colour option as part of its 2026 update.
