2026 Z900RS: Legends Never End
Proudly displaying its illustrious ancestry, the 2026 Z900RS boasts a number of key refinements adding to its rider-centric personality proving that legends never end.
Z900RS
Candy Tone Red
Z900RS Black Ball Edition
Ebony
Z900RS SE
Metallic Spark Black
The timeless Z iconic retro sport receives a range of updates to engine, chassis and electronics elevating the RS theme to the next level while not taking its famous roots for granted. It’s no surprise then that, for 2026, the new Z900RS – and it’s Z900RS SE sibling – move the game forward in some key areas.
At the heart of the Z900RS lays a powerplant tuned for smooth performance at low rpm and greater excitement at higher revs. That stays for 2026, but new features abound such as Electronic Throttle Valves (ETV), Electronic cruise control and a IMU-equipped rider support technology package that includes Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF) and an up/down Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS).
Forming a bridge between technical and styling, a new tuned megaphone-style muffler and reshaped exhaust header pipes give the bike an even more expressive appearance and sound, emphasising the timeless Z concept.
And speaking of looks, the 2026 Z900RS continues a seamless blend of Z1-inspired styling elements and modern craftsmanship from the iconic teardrop fuel tank and distinctive tail design to the innovative oval LED taillight.
Exquisite attention to detail and superb fit-and-finish results in a high-quality appearance while functional beauty remains a priority. As example, stylish highlighted fins integrated into the cylinder head create the impression of an air-cooled engine.
Suspension and brake components are comparable to those of a modern supersport model with a ø41 mm inverted fork with adjustable damping plus horizontal back-link rear suspension contributing to the comfortable ride and sporty performance. Radial-mount front brakes deliver linear braking feel with excellent controllability.
An upright and relaxed riding position offers both comfort and control. Also, when equipped with the accessory Low Seat at 810mm compared with a standard height of 835mm and an SE seat height of 845mm, the Z900RS better accommodates a wider range of riders enhancing overall appeal and manageability.
Smartphone connectivity allows riders to connect to their machine wirelessly using Rideology The App Motorcycle for an enhanced motorcycling experience.
The SE variant features a Brembo brake package including front calipers and ø300 mm Brembo disc rotors with steel braided hoses plus a high-grade Öhlins rear shock with remote reservoir adjuster to deliver a plusher ride feel and even greater control. A USB-C socket appears on the right side of the handlebar while the overall look echoes a variation of the iconic “Fireball,” Z1 colouring using enhanced saturation orange graphics and a body colour changed from brown to metallic black. The two additional standard models are the “Blackball” with Fireball style body emblems and an impactful all-black appearance plus an evocation of the 1975 Z1B colourway in stunning Candy Tone Red.
The Z900RS will be available from January in the below colours. Pricing TBC.
The New KLE500: Life’s a Rally, Ride it.
Kawasaki’s new KLE500 rally styled adventure bike is ready to reveal new horizons.
KLE500
Metallic Carbon Gray / Ebony
KLE500 SE
Pearl Blizzard White
Pearl Storm Gray
Metallic Bluish Green
With its off-road rally styling and light yet strong multi-purpose trellis chassis, the new for 2026 KLE500 is propelled towards adventure by Kawasaki’s highly praised assist and slipper clutch equipped parallel-twin, water-cooled engine.
Styling wise, the eye is first drawn to the tall windshield, which, together with the raised, short 16l fuel tank, lends the bike a purpose-built look inspired by off-road rally machines complemented by bright and efficient front and rear LED lighting.
Built to reward a wide variety of riders, the European A2 licence compliant KLE500 enjoys carefully crafted KX inspired seat, footpeg handlebar relationship plus stylish protection from the wind and elements thanks to a three position adjustable screen. Riding off-pavement feels natural with a riding position that is equally comfortable standing on the footpegs or sitting down. For the keen eyed, KX motocross-inspired design touches are evidenced in the long, smooth side covers and slim fuel tank which create a seamless rider interface facilitating mobility.
Speaking of seating, four unique setups are possible with the addition of the ERGO-FIT Pillion Seat (Low) and Low Front Seat available as genuine accessories. Riders can find their ideal seating arrangement, whether it is the standard combination (High/High seats) aimed at on-road comfort and day-to-day use, complete with specially-designed cushioning for long-ride comfort, or a fully flat setup (High/Low seats) facilitating greater rider mobility during off-road riding.
Around town, the urban ergonomics are just as comfortable encouraging not just relaxed city rides but longer weekend touring adventures – made more convenient by the option of an accessory luggage system.
As you would expect, the KLE500 arrives in a wheel combination of 21” front and 17” rear shod with IRC GP-410 tyres. Suspension duties are ably catered for with specially developed KYB cartridge-type inverted front fork plus a New Uni-Trak rear suspension delivering outstanding feedback and compliance in all riding situations. Highly effective front and rear disc brakes offer sure stopping power while selectable ABS* allows riders to disable the ABS function according to their preference.
For a premium feel and enhanced comfort both on and off the pavement, an SE model offers LED indicators, TFT instrumentation plus a complete package that encompasses a larger windshield, sturdy hand guards and a large skid plate.
Both the TFT meter of the SE and the LCD of the standard model allow Smartphone connectivity to access Kawasaki’s unique Rideology The App Motorcycle smartphone application. A number of instrument functions can be accessed such as riding log, navigation and even voice command.
Fitting for such a machine, numerous Kawasaki genuine accessories include top case, panniers, rear carrier, grip heaters, USB Type-C outlet, engine guard, LED fog lamps, centre stand, radiator screen and GPS bracket. Also, an Akrapovic titanium bodied with carbon heatshield upswept silencer is available for European Market.
Not since 1991 has there been a KLE500 in the Kawasaki range, but now fans can once more immerse themselves in the twin delights of paved and unpaved adventure; after all Life’s a Rally – Ride It!
*Local laws may require ABS to remain active when riding on public roads.
It’s time to make the street a playground with the new Kawasaki Z650 S, a machine that oozes unique Kawasaki Sugomi attitude mixing contemporary style with a new blend of rider focused chassis, engine and electronic aids.
Boasting muscular new looks, the new for 2026 Z650 S takes a fresh approach to ergonomic fit with repositioned footpegs, a stunning new fat-type handlebar configuration plus updates for both rider and passenger seating. The new forward-leaning riding position marries well with an updated, more cushioned front seat (approx. 15 mm higher than the previous Z650). The overall seating area is wider while the rear seat is 20 mm wider, with 10 mm of added cushioning. Both a Style seat and 20mm lower ERGO-Fit seat are part of the comprehensive accessory range.
For rider and pedestrian alike, the impression is of a substantial machine – a bike with real presence but still with good reach to the ground. Thanks, in part, to the greater overall bodywork volume, the strength of purpose is underlined by a new, aggressive front cowl housing LED front lights — two upper for low beam lighting and single lower for the high beam — matched by an LED rear light and LED indicators.
There is much to admire such as the aluminium radiator covers upfront while the compact, upswept and sharply defined tail features a layered design accentuating the underlying menace of the machine. Metallic accents abound add to the high-quality look.
Not just a new riding position and 30mm wider handlebars, but also a new 4.3inch TFT meter panel relays all the essential information plus reacts to ambient light offering the best resolution. The display can also be switched between two options. Type one reveals a bar-style tachometer while type two boasts a hexagonal tachometer. The screen’s background colour automatically changes from white to black when ambient light is low, or it can be manually set to black or white as per the rider’s preference. In addition, the meter acts as an interface when the rider uses Kawasaki’s Rideology the App Motorcycle on their Smartphone expanding the range of cool features available.
In terms of the engine, the addictive 649 cm3 compact parallel twin delivers a powerful-feeling throttle response and a quick-revving character with KTRC traction control as standard. To optimise performance for everyday riding, care has been taken to maximise low-mid range torque. Equipped with Assist and Slipper Clutch, a patented radiator fan cover directs hot air down and away from the rider, significantly increasing congested city comfort. Additionally an O2 sensor is added to the exhaust system to assist with reducing emissions while a quick shifter is available as an accessory aiding upshifts.
The characteristic lightweight trellis type chassis tips the scales at just 15kg contributing to nimble handling while braking is courtesy of dual ø300 mm front discs and ø220 mm at the rear. The ABS unit for 2026 is a new item from Continental.
A carefully focused range of accessories also accompany the new Z650 S including colour matched pillion seat covers, luggage options and a convenient USB-C outlet neatly located inside the front cowl.
The “S” in the new Z650 S could stand for “Stunning” “Style” “Stage” or “Spotlight” representing a new eye-catching new approach and attitude. It’s time to level up and greet the new Z650 S. Priced at £7,199, the 2026 Z650 S will be in dealers from January and available in three colours:
Ebony/Metallic Carbon Grey
Candy Lime Green/Metallic Carbon Grey
Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Grey/Metallic Flat Spark Black
