Kawasaki has revealed a couple of new colour options for four of its popular mid-range models, including the ER-6 series. The announcement also means that these bikes don’t get any major upgrades for the new model year but that’s not really a surprise since the Versys 650 and Vulcan S models were both revealed as new or revised bikes last year.

In the urban naked class, the ever popular twin-cylinder ER-6n receives a visual update for 2016 with new colours just announced for the new model year.
2016 Kawasaki ER-6n
Originally launched as one of the first machines using the “fun to ride” philosophy that has featured on multiple Kawasaki machines since then, the ER-6n has wide appeal with many rider groups including those new to two wheels, women riders and, most especially, riders that appreciate the freedom and financial advantage afforded by commuting to work in congested cities across Europe.

Each model now receives a creative pin-striping treatment to the fuel tank, new contrasting colour treatments for the rear shock absorber spring and wheel stripes making the ER-6n a truly styling urban riding partner.
The three colour options are offered for 2016 are Candy Lime Green with Metallic Spark Black, Metallic Carbon Gray and Metallic Spark Black and Urban City White combined with Metallic Spark Black.
2016 Kawasaki Vulcan S
Updating the colour treatments of the ever popular faired ER-6f, Kawasaki has three options for 2016. The iconic green Candy Lime Green version now features fairing sides in Metallic Spark Black fading to a lighter colour fairing lower. In a similar style, the Candy Persimmon Red model also has contrasting Metallic Spark Black fairing sides while the Metallic Carbon Gray option sticks to an all over single colour approach for maximum impact.
Like its ER-6n partner, each new for 2016 ER-6f comes with a coloured rear shock absorber spring and pin-striped wheels as standard.

Making a huge impact at its launch, 2016 colour options for the Vulcan S have been eagerly awaited and the new line up is sure to delight. White is becoming a highly regarded colour choice so this option is one of three colour ways for the new season. Simple yet effective, the beige Urban City White option is joined by another simple yet effective colour way in the form of Metallic Matt Carbon Gray, creating a impactful and purposeful look.

Last but by no means least, and machine of choice for those that truly appreciate middleweight versatility, the Versys 650 has an understandably loyal following. Crossing a city or a continent is no trouble to this accomplished parallel twin engine equipped machine and the colour options for 2016 are no less impressive.

With strong visual impact the stealth-like looks of the Metallic Matte Carbon Gray and Metallic Spark Black machine are indeed impressive. It is joined by two other colour options for the new season with a striking Candy Matte Orange version offered for the first time alongside the sleek and stylish Pearl Stardust White combined with Metallic Spark Black option.
