Nine new colours across six 2026 Ninja models

As a core brand family in the Kawasaki motorcycle portfolio, the announcement of new colourways for Ninja range models is always a sign that the new season is coming closer… and for 2026 across the six models just announced there are set to be an impressive nine new colour options.  

As the base model for Kawasaki’s WorldSSP racing team in the hands of rider, Jeremy Alcoba, the 636cc Ninja ZX-6R gains two new colours for a fresh sales season comprising Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray / Metallic Spark Black/Lime Green as a new livery plus an updated variation on the fan favourite Lime Green livery.

Sharing a similar engine capacity but configured as a parallel twin engine rather than the four cylinder ZX machine, the highly praised Ninja 650 will be offered in two new colour options in the upcoming range. Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray/Metallic Flat Spark Black and a Lime Green version will be available for the European A2 licence friendly machine that is also a “go to” for experienced riders looking for performance, maneuverability and compact dimensions.

Proudly featuring Kawasaki’s recently developed mid-capacity, water-cooled, twin-cylinder engine, the Ninja 500 and its special edition, SE sibling have been essential parts of the Kawasaki range of late (along with their Z equivalents) offering an easy plus fun-to-ride package that are just as simple to precisely place in the cut and thrust of city traffic as it they are when weekend riding on twisty roads. The Ninja 500 has one new colour in Metallic Flat Spark Black/Metallic Spark Black, while the SE model will be available in  Lime Green and Metallic Matte Twilight Blue/Candy Persimmon Red.

In this pre-release of livery options for 2026 that leaves the high-revving and visceral Ninja ZX-4R as the final part of the initial pack. While the ZX-4R continues into 2026 with the same high impact colour and graphic treatment, the diminutive ZX-4RR will be in dealer showrooms in two brand new colorways for the 2026 model year, these being Lime Green and Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray/Metallic Spark Black

For such evocative machines as Ninja models are, the release of information relating to some fresh colour ways will be welcomed by fans eager to be part of Kawasaki’s constantly evolving Ninja story.
