Kawasaki Marks 50 Years Of Z Range With Four Z50 Models

Kawasaki is marking 50 years of its Z series models with special 'Z50' versions of the Kawasaki Z900, Z650, Z900RS and Z650RS. The special edition models will be available in Europe from March 2022, and will come with distinctive colours and liveries inspired by Kawasaki bikes from the past. The special edition models have been announced to honour half a century of 'Z' models, which began in 1972 with the Z1 Super Four, and has since gone on to introduce a number of models, such as the Kawasaki Z1300, Z1000 and Z800. The latest special edition models of the Z650 and Z900 as well as their RS variants, will be available in Firecracker Red and Candy Diamond Brown, the signature colours from the '70s.
