One of the new bikes is a hot looking Z650RS. Like the larger 900 but in a midsize.

Nice! I like the green.

I wish they had red. I hope they have a red one for 2027 I'd like to own the two bikes 20 years apart

Really like that navy in the ninja 400 2022 color. Even like that blue that the ninja 400 came in 2021 color.

That Z650RS kind of remind me of late 70's and 80's bike
I want the 2022 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R but it so sad that 51HP In-line 4-banger will never make to North America/Europe market.

Supposedly they are announcing three more bikes later this month.

Everyone is expecting the ZX-4R/400 RR but I think it’s more fun to speculate about the other possibilities. Like, we know the ZX-25R was designed as a 400 but what if they launch a 300 for a few years first? What if one of the other unannounced bikes is a track-only ZX-25RR for 250 class races where it would dominate?

Got a feeling that there is something else exciting in the unannounced line-up if they held the announcement for November. :)

I'm not sure how much life there is left in 250 racing. AFM relegated all 250s to legacy class couple years ago. MotoAm did away with RC Cup and fun KTM RC250. Now they're Junior Cup using 400s, mainly RC390 vs Ninja 400s.


That said, I still prefer 250. I want 250... 2-stroke... with TURBO!!!
... and less than 140kg mass!

The 900RS just looks so much better to me, just something seems off in the proportions on the 650RS.

The 650 swing arm throw it out proportions

No ZX-4R apparently, it's for India only that major disappointment by Kawasaki other than that nothing spectacularly new change to be just some styling and color changes that was at Eicma Motorcycles Show last week I guess we have for next unveiling next year.

Yeah, I noticed. :( Makes me wonder why. Perhaps they decided to delay it due to the parts/supply chain shortage or whatever. Maybe they are waiting until the competition makes a move that causes the Ninja 400 to falter. Maybe they need to shake down the 250 version a bit longer to work out any kinks. The patents clearly show that they intend to make one!
