Kawasaki is adding two new color options to the 2027 Z500 SE. A Pearl Blizzard White and Candy Lime Green combination is designed to echo the look of the brand's Z e-1 electric motorcycle, while the second option pairs Candy Persimmon Red with Metallic Carbon Gray. The 451cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine is unchanged, still making 44.8 hp and 42.6 Nm of torque.

Looking at the spec sheet, the engine stays exactly as-is — 451cc, 44.8 hp, zero changes. Yet deliberately echoing the Z e-1's white-and-lime look is clearly meant to sell a sibling relationship between the electric and gas models. Getting more playful with the visuals compared with the old model is the part I find genuinely fun.
