Kawasaki Unveils 2024 Ninja 40th Anniversary Models at Japan Mobility Show 2023: Production-Ready Bikes with Retro Flair

In a landscape where most motorcycle manufacturers are keen to showcase their future concepts, Kawasaki takes a different route. At the recent Japan Mobility Show 2023, while other major players like Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha focused on concept bikes, Kawasaki surprised everyone by revealing its production-ready 2024 Ninja 40th Anniversary lineup.

The 40th Anniversary Lineup

The 2024 Ninja series, including the ZX-4RR ABS, ZX-6R ABS, ZX-10R ABS, and ZX-14R ABS, will feature a special 40th Anniversary Edition. The color scheme is a throwback to the early '90s, specifically inspired by Kawasaki's iconic Ninja ZX-7 race bike. The palette includes Lime Green, Pearl Crystal White, and Blue, each tailored to fit the individual models.

Attention to Detail

Kawasaki went the extra mile by consulting its historical archives to ensure the logos on these special edition bikes are as authentic as possible. The company aimed to pay homage to its past while offering cutting-edge technology in its current models.
