New 2025 colours for Versys and Vulcan twins

The popular Versys 650 adventure tourer and much-loved Vulcan S are both set for a colour refresh for the 2025 sales season.

Known since its debut as an adaptable “any-roads” machine, the agile Versys 650 will again be offered by Kawasaki dealers for the coming season in a number of options from Standard all the way to Grand Tourer complete with a suite of luggage making this a bike of choice in the mid-weight adventure touring segment. Continuing to be offered in black, the two new 2025 colours will be Pearl Robotic White/Metallic Spark Black and Metallic Graphenesteel Gray/Metallic Spark Black.

Sharing the same highly praised 649cm3 water-cooled, parallel-twin powerplant as its touring sibling – yet retuned and refocused for the needs of a cruiser rider – the Vulcan S has single-mindedly carved itself a niche in the mid-weight custom class with its blend of sinuous styling and clever, practical features. Adjustable footpegs and Kawasaki’s Ergo-Fit seating and control options allow riders to fine tune the Vulcan S according to their height and preference, while the tubular style chassis features a laydown single-shock rear suspension equipped with a linkage to enable a longer stroke for increased ride comfort.

Carrying the current highly demanded Metallic Flat Spark Black colourway into 2025, the new colour option for Vulcan S will be a subtle take on the same theme encompassing Metallic Flat Spark Black/Metallic Flat Raw Graystone.

Adventure tour or custom cruising, both the Versys 650 and Vulcan S will be ready to meet the needs of enthusiasts once more in 2025… and ready to fuel their riding passion.  

The Versys 650 will be available in dealers from January 2025 and the Vulcan S from October 2024, with prices TBC nearer the time.

Two models and three colour options for 2025 Eliminator 

A relatively recent and welcome addition to the Kawasaki range, the Eliminator 500 will continue to be available in two model specifications in 2025 with potential owners being able to select from three new colour ways.

Based around the concept of “Just Ride”, and equipped with Kawasaki’s new parallel-twin, four-stroke mid-capacity engine (that has also been tuned for its role in the new Z and Ninja 500 models), the Eliminator 500 displays long, low drag strip and urban street styling within an easy to ride A2 licence friendly package.

With huge interest in the mid-capacity or so-called “entry level” segment, competition is fierce, so Kawasaki is offering three all new colours for 2025 to underpin the impact and appeal of the Eliminator.

For the standard model two colourways will be on offer for the coming season, Metallic Flat Spark Black or Pearl Robotic White, while the range-leading SE model will be offered in Metallic Carbon Gray/Flat Ebony.

For 2025 Eliminator 500 owners the narrative is simple, just pick a colour and then “Just Ride”.

The bike will arrive in dealers in October 2024, with prices TBC.
