In a thrilling announcement, Kawasaki is commemorating the 40th anniversary of its iconic Ninja range by introducing a lineup of special edition motorcycles. These exclusive bikes come with retro-inspired paint schemes and a range of unique features that are set to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts and collectors alike.
This landmark celebration extends beyond just the Kawasaki ZX-10R; it reaches out to other remarkable models within the Ninja family, including the Kawasaki ZX-4RR and Kawasaki ZX-6R. Notably, the ZX-4RR made its initial appearance in its standard configuration earlier this year, making its 40th-anniversary edition even more anticipated.
The grand reveal of these motorcycles is scheduled for later this year at the EICMA show in Milan. At this event, they will make a bold statement with their ’90s-inspired green, white, and blue paint schemes. These colors, reminiscent of Kawasaki’s iconic livery from the 1990s, have enjoyed a triumphant resurgence in recent years. The factory Kawasaki team in WorldSBK showcased them at the 2022 Argentinian round, and the official Kawasaki UK team in British Superbikes, FS-3, has consistently adorned their bikes with these iconic colors for the past two seasons.
The resurrection of this classic paint scheme infuses the motorcycles with a powerful sense of nostalgia, paying homage to Kawasaki’s storied racing heritage. To further underline the significance of the 40th anniversary, each of these bikes proudly displays special badging on their fuel tanks. While the livery is tweaked slightly to match the distinctive bodywork of each model, it is a testament to the meticulous design and attention to detail.
In addition to the 40th-anniversary models, these special edition motorcycles will be introduced alongside the existing 2024 color options for the ZX-10R, ZX-6R, and ZX-4RR, providing enthusiasts with an exciting array of choices. The pricing of these exclusive 40th-anniversary versions is positioned to make them an irresistible option for avid fans of the Kawasaki Ninja series.
Kawasaki has once again raised the bar in the world of motorcycling, and these anniversary editions are sure to create waves in the industry, cementing the brand’s legacy for another 40 years and beyond. However, it is not yet know which markets these models will be offered in.
