Announcing new colour-ways for several popular existing models, Kawasaki are forging towards the 2017 season with characteristic optimism. 
The much loved Z800 e version first seen in 2013 is the first machine updated for the upcoming model year. The most accessible Z super middle weight now comes with belly pan with new colour and graphics encompassing Metallic Spark Black with Matt finishes.
For fans of the larger capacity classes, the ZZR1400 Performance Sport model will run alongside the ever-popular standard version. Both are updated with new colours with the Performance Sport appearing in a stunning Golden Blazed Green with Metallic Spark Black look and the standard version featuring bold Metallic Spark Black paint with Golden Blazed Green highlights.
Kawasaki has taken the ZZR1400 and Z800 e versions to the next level with the three revised colour ways featuring upgrades to ensure the machines keep their legendary power and character.
Commenting, Morihiro Ikoma, Director of Kawasaki Motors Europe, underlined the importance of updates for the machines.
“Both the Z800 e version and ZZR1400 have been consistent sellers across Europe since their introduction. The Z and ZZR brand lines are very important to our dealers and customers so it’s great to launch such bold and appealing updates in advance of the sales start later in the year.”
In the UK the Z800 e version should hit showrooms in October whilst the new colours of ZZR1400 standard and Performance Sport will be available from December 2016.

Women;
Three weeks before;
- Book hair, nail, eyebrow appointment
- Buy hair colour
- Search e-bay for new outfit
- Look at your womanly physique in the mirror... decide that you need to lose a stone in 3 weeks, so make mental note to do workout, sit-ups, squats, etc, every day
- Save small amount of your favourite toiletries, face cleanser, toner, eye make up remover, day cream, night cream, eye cream, factor 15 for the face and factor 8 for the body (the sun WILL come out), body lotion, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, hair product one (to give it body), hair product two (to make it straight), hair product three (to make it glossy) hair product four (so it does not frizz), hair product five (to keep it in place)
Two weeks before;
- Buy new outfit (two of just in case) off e-bay, found using searches such as 'Biker babe', 'biker rally outfit', 'black goth', 'black basque ladies', etc...
- Start tan-tastic preparations, scrub flesh and moisturise
The week before;
- Dye hair, hair cut, buy new hair product
- Eyebrows waxed
- Manicure (and pedicure if its summer)
- Apply self-tanning creams (if not goth)
- Look in shops for a new outfit (just in case you see one you like better than the two you bought last week)
The day before;
- Sort out the clothing you are taking into piles
- The clothing you are wearing on a hanger
- All other items hidden, so that your Victor Meldrew husband does not say "Do you think you are taking that lot for two days!"
The day of;
- Face pack, condition hair, shave armpits and legs, apply make up with no mascara (to avoid panda eyes on the way in gail force winds)
- Try to pack 10 tops, three pairs of jeans, 3 sets of matching underwear, toiletries (as above), towel (the size of a small country) into small bag and squeeze shut
- Text mates to see if they are taking hairdryers and/or straighterners as you realise you have gone over your allocation baggage allowance
- Moisturise whole body, get dressed putting on extra layers of clothing that you could not fit into small bag
- Put extra items you forgot to pack into coat pockets
Men;
- Put tent on bike
- Take toothbrush if longer than one night
- Moan at woman at the amount of luggage she is taking for two nights
- Put on 'Rally' pants, club t and leather vest
- Go...
Of course those apologies to all women who are lower maintenance and men who are higher...
