Kawasaki has announced that a host of new colours will be available across a range of its bikes for 2018; including the Vulcan S, Versys 650, Z1000 and Z1000SX.
Vulcan S and Vulcan S Cafe
The Vulcan S will be available in two new colours in 2018: Metallic Flat Spark Black and Pearl Lava Orange. And, on top of that, the Vulcan S Cafe will be available in Pearl Storm Grey.
Thanks to its ‘Ergo-fit’ adjustability, the Vulcan S has two seat options, different-reach handlebars and foot control adaptations so that it can suit riders of different heights and builds. Meanwhile, with its distinctive grey colour and graphic treatment combined with special styling, the Vulcan S Cafe is expected to appeal to fashion-conscious riders, as the cafe culture market continues to thrive.

Versys 650
Remaining true to its core ‘Versatile System’ values, the revised mid-capacity Versys 650 range is being released in a variety of contemporary colours and graphic treatments.
With its expanding accessory range and the prospect of ‘Edition’ models being unveiled later on in the pre-season, the Versys 650 now has three colour options: the Pearl Blizzard White and Metallic Spark Black option reflects the current fashion for white motorcycles, while the Candy Lime Green and Metallic Spark Black model is sure to be a hit with committed Kawasaki fans; and, the third option is Metallic Matte Covert Green and Metallic Spark Black.
