Kawasaki has confirmed new colourways for its 2027 Ninja 1100SX and Versys 1100 models. According to a report from Visordown, this continues a gentle refresh of the Japanese manufacturer's big-bike line-up, following similar updates to other models like the ZX-6R, Z1100, Versys 650, Vulcan S, and Z500.
Both the Ninja 1100SX and Versys 1100 remain mechanically and technically unchanged for the new model year. The focus is entirely on new paint schemes.
Ninja 1100SX Colour Options
The standard Ninja 1100SX gains a new Metallic Carbon Gray and Metallic Diablo Black colour option for 2027. The higher-spec SE model receives two new trims: Plasma Lime Green with Metallic Diablo Black, and Pearl Stardust White with Metallic Diablo Black.
Versys 1100 Colour and Spec
The adventure touring Versys 1100 also receives a significant colour refresh. The standard model will be available in Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray with Metallic Diablo Black. The S edition gets an HD Metallic Carbon Gray and HD Metallic Diablo Black trim. The SE variant adds two new options: HD Metallic Deep Blue-J25 with HD Metallic Carbon Gray, and HD Plasma Lime Green with HD Metallic Diablo Black.
All three Versys 1100 models share the same mechanical underpinnings. They are powered by a 1,099cc inline-four engine. Kawasaki claims it produces 133bhp at 9,000rpm and 82.6 lb-ft of torque at 7,600rpm.

Accessory Packs and Model History

The 2027 model year will be notable for the Versys range. It marks 15 years since Kawasaki debuted the first Versys 1000 motorcycle. Visordown notes that more colour updates for other Kawasaki models are expected to be announced later this month.
