Kawasaki has unveiled new colorways for its 2027 model-year lineup, adding fresh paint schemes to the Z1100, Z1100 SE, Z500, Z500 SE, Versys 650 and Vulcan S with no technical changes. The Vulcan S and Z1100 arrive at dealers in September, the Z500 in October, and the Versys 650 in November.
Reading the spec sheet, this is purely a color update with the mechanicals completely unchanged. Still, the Z1100 SE's graphenesteel-style gray paired with candy blazed green is a bold combo. It's interesting how much impression paintwork alone can shift compared with the outgoing scheme.

Feels like color-only reveals happen every year now, sign of the times.
The staggered release dates per model are kind of confusing.
That Z1100 SE graphenesteel color is seriously gorgeous!
The new Versys 650 color looks like it'll photograph great on tour.
Calling it 'new' when it's just a color change feels like a stretch.
Same model code, but paint costs apparently aren't cheap either.
