The Versys 900 is a new sporty multi-purpose model combining the Versys family’s renowned versatility with the exhilaration of Kawasaki’s 900cc-class In-Line Four engine – put simply, the most sporting Versys yet created.
Versys 900
Versys 900 SE
At the heart of the Versys 900 is a 948 cm3 In-Line Four engine inspired by Kawasaki’s Supernaked Z models rated at a maximum of 122PS (89.6 kW) @9500rpm and with a peak torque of 97.3Nm (9.92 kg¦?m) @8000rpm. Combining strong, controllable response from low and medium rpm with a free-revving character that pulls smoothly towards the upper end of the rev range, this exciting engine delivers the distinctive exhilaration that only an In-Line Four can offer across a wide range of riding situations, whether riding in town, in the hills, or across the country.
Kawasaki engineers developed an all-new trellis frame for the new Versys 900. The main frame is engineered with an emphasis on achieving an ideal rigidity balance and a high level of front-end feel, while the rear frame offers the rigidity to accommodate a passenger and/or panniers plus a top case. A near 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution delivers excellent light, agile handling. Complementing this character is the Versys series’ signature combination of long-travel suspension and sporty 17” wheels shod with Metzeler ROADTEC 01 tyres.
An upright riding position, a seven-position adjustable screen and height-adjustable seat (825 mm > 845 mm), combine with a fuel tank shape designed to facilitate both reach to the ground and a secure knee grip to create the perfect adrenaline focused package.
Additionally, the Versys 900 is the first Versys model to be equipped with ARAS (Advanced Rider Assistance Systems) that include Adaptive Cruise Control Lite (ACC Lite), Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD). Additionally, an emergency Stop Signal (ESS) that helps to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions is included.
Smartphone connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE gives riders access to a range of useful functions for everything from everyday riding to touring, while a 5” TFT full-colour meter supports Turn-by-Turn Navigation with riders able to choose between two display layouts according to their preferences and riding needs: Type 1, which emphasises engine excitement, and Type 2, which prioritises navigation visibility and vehicle information.
In terms of styling, the new and unique Aero Edge concept creates a light, floating impression as though air is flowing through the bodywork, emphasising the machine’s agile nature. The result is a distinctly sporty appearance that clearly communicates the Versys 900’s unique character. In terms of luggage, the newly designed 47 L accessory top case and pannier system (2 x 32 L) integrates seamlessly with the bodywork to maintain a sleek, sporty appearance even when fully equipped for touring. Kawasaki dealers will also be offering Edition models including Tourer and Grand Tourer versions created using genuine accessories plus an SE version of the machine will be available.
The Versys 900 SE is likely to be among the most in demand of all the models and features Kawasaki genuine accessories comprising compact LED fog lamps, hand guards, grip heaters, radiator screen, frame protection sliders and a lower cowl plus centre stand.
As a new member of the highly praised Versys family, the Versys 900 stands proud as the most sporting iteration yet. The sublime marriage of established and venerated Versys attributes with the iconic Z based 948 cm3 In-Line Four engine will appeal to a new adventurous adrenaline hungry audience keen to explore the excitement and sheer versatility of the Versys legend.

KawasakiUK is delighted to announce that the iconic Ninja ZX-10RR will be returning tothe British Superbike Championship grid next season, as Binch Racing step up tocompete in the prestigious class. With technical support from FS-3 Racing andKawasaki, the team is currently assessing several rider options, with theone-rider lineup to be announced later this year.
While the AJN Steelstock bimota team have achieved fantastic results on the ZX-10RR-powered bimota KB998 Rimini, the absence of a green machine on the grid has been felt by fans and Kawasaki alike. That is why Kawasaki UK is thrilled to confirm a return to the series for the Ninja ZX-10RR, which will also mark the debut of the new-styled Ninja on the BSB grid.
The bike will be fielded by the talented Binch Racing team, who will be making the step up to the blue-riband class for the first time. The team should need no introduction to race fans, having achieved great success in recent years in the British Supersport class and National Superstock 600 Championship, most notably at the hands of AJN Steelstock bimota’s Max Cook and Joe Talbot. They will now bring that passion and experience into the Superbike class.
Following the announcement of the new rules for the 2027 British Superbike class, the Ninja ZX-10RR's excellent chassis, combined with more balanced engine power rules, should make the Kawasaki ultra-competitive. The Binch Racing team will also have further support from the FS-3 Racing team as well as Kawasaki directly.
The team are currently assessing riders for the 2027 season, with a one-man team announced later this year.
Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“This deal has been in the works for some time, and I am delighted that Dave and his team have taken the step to move into the Superbike class with Kawasaki. It is important for Kawasaki to showcase the Ninja ZX-10RR in the premier class, and I think that with the right rider, we can help them hit the ground running in 2027.”
Dave Binch:
“A discussion around new regulations for BSB in 2027 sparked my interest, and I’m proud to say that we will be on the 2027 British Superbike grid as a Kawasaki-supported team with technical support from the very experienced guys at FS-3. My plan is to follow our tried-and-tested model, work hard, prepare well and steadily improve against the realistic goals we set ourselves.
Now that the solid foundations between Kawasaki, Binch Racing & FS-3 have been set, we can engage in the process of building the new 2027 regulation bikes and seeking out a rider lineup to fit with our partners and us.”

With a justifiably strongreputation in the mid-capacity sports segment, the Ninja 650 delivers Kawasakiriding excitement with its strong low-mid range-focused 649cc ParallelTwin engine mated to a lightweight and compact chassis. For 2027, the new Ninja650 further enhances riding fun thanks to updated front-end components plusother refinements to sharpen its sporty handling character and strengthen itsNinja appeal.


Replacing the telescopic front fork of the previous model, a Showa ø37 mm SFF-BP inverted front fork is now fitted. Reducing the damping pressure via the adoption of a larger piston than previous iterations creates greater control and calm attitude changes while also offering greater chassis stability on corner entry plus a planted braking feel. The updated rear suspension setting – via an uprated spring rate – pairs well with the new inverted front fork, maintaining the Ninja 650’s rider-friendly character and natural handling feel.
In terms of braking, the previous axial-mount front brake calipers have been replaced with radial-mount items. Additionally changing from 2-piston to 4-piston calipers improves response to lever input, contributing to linear, controllable braking performance. Also, a newly designed front fender features a wider lateral design with a shape more fully covering the fork outer tubes.
The combination of these suspension and braking updates contributes to improved road-holding performance and greater control, supporting more spirited sport riding while maintaining the previous model’s light, natural handling character. The result is a 2027 package that allows a wide range of riders to enjoy the fun of controlling this popular machine with confidence.
Other key features include a new 4.3 inch TFT colour instrument display which offers highly visible information at a glance, contributing to an even more high-tech cockpit appearance. Smartphone connectivity via the Kawasaki Rideology App now supports navigation and voice command functions, further increasing convenience and riding enjoyment.
Equipped with a lightweight trellis chassis and a commendably low seat height of 785mm, rider convenience is enhanced by additional features such as KTRC Traction Control – with two rider-selectable modes – and an accessory option of a quick shifter for seamless upshifts.
The end result? A sharper Ninja 650 for 2027 with increased sport riding potential combining its already established sleek Ninja styling and approachable character to deliver an updated Fun-Style-Easy concept.
The Ninja 650 will be available from December, priced at £7,499.
2027 Colours:
- Lime Green

The road going Ninja H2 and track-only Ninja H2R became instant icons at their launch a decade or so ago illustrating the corporate strength of the Kawasaki group. Not just motorcycling engineers but aerospace and gas turbine division specialists were involved in the creation of these groundbreaking forced induction machines that feature the elusive “River Mark” reserved exclusively for selected models of historic significance and exceptional engineering.
Now, reintroduced for the 2027 model year, the latest iteration of the famous Ninja H2 proudly takes its place as an evolution of Kawasaki’s supercharged flagship refined for today’s riding environment. Updated in many key areas, the unique Ninja H2 now delivers even greater mid-range torque plus a distinctive high-rpm acceleration sensation all combining to create an exotic formula.
At the heart of these impossible-to-ignore machines is the engine and – although outwardly similar to the previous model – there are myriad changes. As example, the impeller and intake system represent a complete redesign; the pistons, cylinder head, cylinder, crankshaft and camshafts are new; throttle bodies are new; exhaust system is new and gear ratios revised. With maximum torque delivered at 8500rpm and a peak power (with Ram Air) of 209PS, the Ninja H2 is truly a distinctive rider focused performance machine.
As with the previous model, a trellis frame offers a balance of stiffness and flexibility enabling a very high level of stability plus the Ninja H2 becomes the first Kawasaki model to adopt Brembo Hypure front brake calipers. These offer a lightweight design while providing high rigidity and linear response. The new exhaust system features optimised pipe diameters and a redesigned pre-chamber layout and compact silencer, resulting in a lighter system that contributes to increased low to mid-range torque.
For the rider environment, things also change in terms of the meter panel and elements of functionality. The updated instrumentation offers two selectable display types. Type 1 features a layout inspired by the silhouette of the air ducts, while Type 2 features enhanced boost and aviation-inspired lean/attitude displays. Naturally there are a suite of rider aids including revised KTRC traction control and KLCM launch control plus many others as well as Smartphone connection via Kawasaki’s Rideology App.
Naturally, suspension is the highest quality with KYB AOS-II at the front while, at the rear, an Öhlins TTX36 shock contributes to stability. Additionally, alongside the standard machine, the limited-edition Ninja H2 CARBON is once more available featuring a carbon-fibre upper cowl made from high-rigidity, lightweight CFRP (Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Plastic).
And as if that were not enough, the 300+ horsepower track-only Ninja H2R is still available on an order only basis for those that seek the best of the best. 2027 certainly seems to be shaping up to be not just a super but a truly supercharged year for Kawasaki.
These machines will be arriving in the UK in VERY limited numbers at the end of the year, therefore we suggest speaking to your local Kawasaki dealer as soon as possible to find out more about securing your purchase. The Ninja H2 is priced at £28,600, the Ninja H2 Carbon will cost £31,350, and the H2R £52,000.
2027 Colour for both Ninja H2 and H2 Carbon:
Mirror Coated Spark Black
The Ninja H2 and H2 Carbon feature the following electronic rider aids:
- KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function)
- KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control)
- KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode)
- KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System)
- KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter)
- Kawasaki Engine Brake Control
- Öhlins Electronic Steering Damper

The highly accessible 233cc retro sport Kawasaki W230 will continue into 2027. Since its arrival, the machine has established itself as an authentic modern classic in the A2 European licence category. Having been part of the Kawasaki family for over half a century, the W230 upholds a long tradition, and with a rider friendly weight, and seat height, it now widens the experience to even more motorcyclists.
Careful consideration has been given to capture the pleasant, rumbling engine character afforded by the 233 cm3 air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC single cylinder engine. Thanks to linear power delivery and ample torque throughout the rev range, especially in the low- to mid-rpm range, the W230 will sit well in the 2027 Kawasaki range offering comfortable acceleration with a pleasant pulsating sensation, which is further bolstered by an internal engine balancer for smooth overall acceleration. And to heighten the senses, the exhaust note is fine-tuned to produce a deep bass sound and pulsing sensation when accelerating.
The rider-friendly engine character is complemented by a compact, lightweight chassis offering both comfortable cruising plus light, predictable handling and styling that speaks to the heart of anyone who appreciates classic motorcycles. The W230’s looks continue the W series’ proud tradition of elegant styling and proportions with numerous present-day touches contributing to a well-rounded personality.
To make the W230 light and to facilitate handling for a wide range of riders, the frame is slim, compact and lightweight making the machine highly accessible for both new and returning riders, while details like a classic seat design, steel fenders, teardrop fuel tank, retro meters and spoked wheels contribute to their timeless beauty and an authentic feel that riders notice immediately.
Appealing to the unquenchable appetite for retro style machines with modern engineering and build quality, the W230 will sit proudly alongside a comprehensive variety of machines in the 2027 Kawasaki range assured of their modern classic status.
The 2027 W230 arrives in August and will be available in Ebony, priced at £4,654

Kawasaki UK Teams Up With James Whitham Track Training Days



Kawasaki is excited to kick-start 2026 with the announcement that it is partnering with the legendary James Whitham Track Training Days, supplying the school with both Ninja ZX-10Rs, and Ninja ZX-6Rs, which will be used by the coaches throughout the year.
Created with the ethos of low-number groups to maximise both track time and tuition, the James Whitham Track Training Days allow riders of all levels to improve their skills and enjoy the thrill of track riding in a safe and controlled environment. Each day will see small groups based on rider experience teamed up with a well-known racer, who provides expert tuition and feedback. This year will see a star-studded lineup of BSB and TT racers, including the AJN Steelstock bimota duo of Max Cook and Joe Talbot.
Kawasaki is proud to be partnering with Whitham for 2026, supplying a host of track-proven machinery for the coaches to use. This year will see the school host over 25 dates at some of the UK’s leading circuits, including Anglesey, Croft, Cadwell Park and Mallory Park.
James Whitham:
“I’m really excited to be teaming up with Kawasaki for 2026! Although I’ve only ever raced a Kawasaki once in my career, I’ve been friends with the team at Kawasaki UK for over 25 years, and the Ninja family’s pedigree on track is renowned. The bikes are going to be the perfect addition for our instructors, ensuring our customers are able to get the very best track tuition possible.”
Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“So many of our customers are keen trackday enthusiasts, so to be able to work with James and the team and offer a safe and enjoyable environment in which Kawasaki riders can hone their skills is fantastic. Throw into the mix that they can ride on track with, and learn from our official Superbike team riders is the icing on the cake. We are confident many new and existing Kawasaki riders will be chomping at the bit to sign up to a James Whitham Track Training Days School during 2026!”

The newest member of the W family nods to the past but rides full throttle into the future. With design inspired by the 1965 650-W1 model, the all-new W230 motorcycle packs a modern punch with Kawasaki’s proven 233cc fuel-injected 4-stroke engine. The original icon continues with a lightweight, low seat height, and friendly power character that opens up '60s design to more riders than ever before.
The bike will be arriving in January in limited numbers and will be priced at £4,654. Those attending Motorcycle Live over the next nine days will be able to see the machine from tomorrow, with the W230 on display alongside the entire 2026 Kawasaki range.
Craig Watson, Sales and Marketing Manager at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“The W230 is a fantastic bike that we are excited to start selling in Kawasaki dealers from January. With only a small number of bikes arriving next year, customers will have to be quick to secure theirs.”
FS-3 Racing announce Cook and Talbot for 2026!



Fresh from revealing they will be switching to bimota machinery for the 2026 British Superbike season, the FS-3 Racing team (AJN Steelstock bimota) is excited to confirm that Max Cook will remain for a fourth consecutive season and will be joined by newcomer Joe Talbot.
Having made his debut in the Superbike class with the team back in 2023, Max Cook has continued to go from strength to strength, achieving multiple podiums to date, most recently in a thrilling race at Thruxton. He’ll be joined by rookie rider Joe Talbot, who has had an impressive few seasons in Supersport and Superstock over the last two years, securing multiple wins and podiums. Joe’s addition to the team cements the outfit’s ethos of supporting the talent of tomorrow, a philosophy shared by Team Green.
Both riders will be campaigning the all-new bimota KB998 Rimini Superbike, which has already proven its potential in its debut season in World Superbikes, having secured multiple podiums with Alex Lowes. FS-3 Racing will also be welcoming AJN Steelstock back as title sponsor for 2026, with the team known as AJN Steelstock bimota.
Max Cook:
“I’m really excited to get going on the new bimota project. I think it’s exciting not only because of the new bike but also that the potential of the package is better too. To get podiums in its first season in World Superbikes is amazing, and Alex and the team think it will be a really good option for BSB as well. For me, it couldn’t come at a better time, and my aim is to turn those podium finishes into regular performances and even race wins.
It’s great to have Joe in the team too. They gave me the chance as a rookie a few years ago, and it’s fantastic that they’re doing the same with him, and I want to help him as much as I can as well… until he starts beating me!”
Joe Talbot
“I’m really excited to be joining the AJN Steelstock bimota project. My goal has always been to get into Superbikes, so to get to do it on a brand new machine with so much potential is amazing. The FS-3 Racing team have been great so far, and their experience in the Championship is proven, so I know they’ll give me everything I need to hit the ground running. Having raced at Donington earlier this year, I know how tough BSB is, so I’m not coming in with any expectations, but I can’t wait to get started!”
Nigel Snook, Team Principal, AJN Steelstock bimota:
“At FS-3 Racing, we have always prided ourselves on giving young riders the opportunity to compete and gain experience in the superbike class. Danny Buchan, Lee Jackson and Rory Skinner have all benefitted from their time with us. But we are particularly pleased that Max Cook will be with us again in 2026 to lead the team in his fourth season on a superbike. We have been supporting Max for eight years, and it has been really satisfying to watch his progress to become a superbike front runner.
Alongside Max for his first full season on a superbike will be Joe Talbot. Joe has impressive results behind him in the superstock and supersport classes and certainly impressed with a stand-in superbike debut at Donington Park in September, jumping between a superbike and his regular supersport mount. With two talented and ambitious riders piloting our AJN Steelstock bimota KB998 Rimini machines, we're certainly aiming to write a few headlines!”
Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“After a great 2025 season, the start of the off-season has been no less exciting! With the switch of machinery recently announced, we are now really pleased to welcome Joe back to Kawasaki and to the team for 2026. We already have a great history with Joe and his family and are confident that he will be a strong asset to both bimota and the FS-3 Racing team next year. Max has been steadily getting faster and more consistent over the past few seasons, and I can’t wait to hopefully watch him make that last step next year to regularly feature on the podium.”
