The incredible 2025 Ninja ZX-10RR is now available in a stealthy dark grey colourway, making it the ultimate track weapon for sports bike fans. For a limited time only, this unique machine is available at the ultra-low rate of either 4.9% HP or 5.9% PCP when purchased through Kawasaki Finance. 

As the Bennetts British Superbike Championship roars back into action, the AJN Steelstock Kawasaki race team has unveiled a unique yellow livery scheme for this weekend, in recognition of the iconic Kawasaki Z1. 

With Snetterton being AJN Steelstock’s ‘home’ round, the team has created a unique one-off livery to celebrate. The iconic Kawasaki green has been replaced with a vibrant yellow, a nod to the Candy Yellow Z1 that ignited a life-long love of motorcycles and motorcycle racing for AJN Steelstock’s Joint Managing Director, Alan Boyden. 

Both Christian Iddon’s and Max Cook’s Ninja ZX-10RRs will be adorned in the new colourways, while both riders will have matching leathers and the team garage will also have a new look for the weekend.  

In addition to the special livery, Alan will also be bringing along some of his own stunning collection of Kawasakis to display outside the team’s hospitality unit, including an original 1973 Z1, a 1974 Z1A, a 1975 Z1B, a 1976 Z900-A4, a 1979 six-cylinder Z1300, a 1984 Eddie Lawson Replica, a Z900RS and even a Ninja H2 Carbon!  

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“What can I say? This design is absolutely stunning! The AJN Steelstock Kawasaki ZX-10RR’s always stand out on track, but this has taken it to another level. I can’t wait to see the bikes in action this weekend and look forward to customers having the chance to see Alan’s display of both modern and heritage Kawasakis trackside.” 

Alan Boyden, AJN Steelstock’s Joint Managing Director: 
“The Kawasaki Z1 is a classic and a true motorcycling icon. Launched in 1972, it set the bar for high-performance motorcycling and kick-started the concept of the Superbike.” 

“What better way to celebrate the Z1’s iconic status than a special livery for the current ZX-10RR Superbikes and watching them compete for top honours at our home round at Snetterton. We can’t wait to see Max and Christian out on the track.”

With the riding season getting underway, Kawasaki is helping new riders discover their dream machine with the launch of the ‘New Rider Reward’. Open to all motorcyclists who have passed their test in the last 12 months, the reward gives up to £500 off a range of Kawasaki machines. 

The 60th running of the famousLe Mans 24 hour Endurance motorcycle race on the weekend of 19 and 20 April notonly witnessed a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR on the podium – and leading the racefor several hours – but also a demonstration of Kawasaki cutting edge hydrogenvehicle technology.

After a last-minute change of plans, Kawasaki UK is delighted to announce that James Hillier will once again be lining up in green for the two Isle of Man TT Supersport races. Partnering once more with Bournemouth Kawasaki, a team he has had lots of success with throughout his career,  he’ll be riding the Ninja ZX-6R he took to fourth and sixth last year.

Despite planning to sit 2025 out, the Bournemouth Kawasaki team will be making a surprise return to the Isle of Man TT next month, running James Hillier in both Supersport races. Campaigning on the proven Ninja ZX-6R, James and the team will be looking to build on their results last year and are setting their sights firmly on a podium finish. 

The Bournemouth Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R will be backed by Kawasaki Insurance, which offers specialist and bespoke insurance policies to all riders of any Kawasaki machinery in the UK. 

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“It was a shame to see what happened to James earlier this month; however, it has presented us with a great opportunity to have another go at getting on that Supersport podium at the Isle of Man TT. James and the team have a huge amount of experience with the bike and attacking the event in general, so we are confident it will be a great two weeks. I would like to thank Kawasaki Insurance for getting on board at this late stage and helping put the team in a position to go full throttle into the two races at the end of this month.” 

Pete Extance, Team Owner, Bournemouth Kawasaki:
“2025 started with the idea of having a year out of the TT, but when that changed, we were only too happy to speak with James and put a deal together for him to ride the Bournemouth Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R. It didn’t take long for us to agree on a deal with James to return, and we set to work preparing the bike for the TT starting in the last week of May. We firmly believe James and the team have podium potential, and hopefully, that second TT career win that James richly deserves.” 

James Hillier:
“After a difficult few days, it was great to secure a ride back with Pete and Bournemouth Kawasaki, especially as it was back with my Kawasaki ZX-6R from last year. We both know what we need to do, and I am sure we will hit the ‘25 TT running. Massive thanks to the team and everyone who has helped get this sorted at such short notice.”

Kawasaki UK is delighted to announce that former British Superbike star and Team Green rider Danny Buchan will remain in the paddock for 2025, becoming an ambassador for the thrilling AJN Steelstock Kawasaki British Superteen series.

Having had a very successful career with Kawasaki, including being crowned National Superstock Champion twice and winning FS-3 Racing team’s first ever Superbike race, Danny has a wealth of knowledge on racing the tricky UK circuits. He will be using all of that experience in 2025 when he works alongside the stars of tomorrow as the official ambassador for the AJN Steelstock Kawasaki British Superteen series. 

The Essex based rider will be at all eight rounds of the 2025 Championship, helping every rider in the class to not only hone their race craft on track but also how to approach racing and their motorsports careers off track. 

The Superteen class is the perfect representation of the Team Green ethos of giving young riders the best possible platform to springboard their racing careers. As a former Team Green rider, Danny has seen first-hand how it can help, while many of the stars of last year’s Championship have already moved on to bigger classes, including the British Supersport and Sportbike classes as well as the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship. 

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“We are excited to welcome Danny back to Kawasaki and Team Green this year! We have had a successful and enjoyable relationship with Danny for over a decade and we are pleased that he has agreed to work with us and our Superteen Championship in 2025. We want to give the youngsters in this series the best possible platform to shine, and we believe that alongside the awesome ZX-4RR, having Danny bring his knowledge and experience to these young racers will be the perfect combination. We hope that every rider takes full advantage of this opportunity throughout the season.” 

Danny Buchan, Kawasaki Superteen Ambassador:
“Obviously I was excited to get the call up from Kawasaki with this opportunity. I was one of the first Team Green riders back in 2010 and my roots run deep with Kawasaki so helping out today’s young riders with the experience I have gained in all my years of racing was a no brainer. It takes so much effort by everyone involved and I was lucky enough to have some real important figures around me when coming through the ranks, such as Nick Morgan from MSS Performance who helped catapult my career with his knowledge of the sport so I hope I can do the same with these youngsters. Help kickstart their careers and help steer them in the right direction for their years ahead in the sport. I’m looking forward to meeting them all at round one in May.”

As Spring kicks into gear, the all-electric machines are now on offer at the heavily reduced price of £3999 for the Z e-1 and £4299 for the Ninja e-1. Also featuring price reductions are the world’s first Strong Hybrid machines, the Z 7 and Ninja 7 Hybrids both ready to be ridden away at just £6999.
