The 2025 Kawasaki ZX-10R remains mechanically unchanged and only features new colours.
Kawasaki has once again launched new colours for two of its models overseas. For 2025, Kawasaki has updated the Ninja ZX-10R & ZX-10RR with new colours. While the former gets two new shades, the latter gets only one.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR in Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray.
The Ninja ZX-10RR is currently available in just one colour internationally, called Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray. It features an all-black treatment with graphics finished in green. Apart from the new colour, it remains mechanically unchanged. The ZX-10RR is the more race-ready version of the ZX-10R and was developed in tandem with Kawasaki’s racing team. Its engine features lighter parts, stiffer valve springs, and a high-lift camshaft. Kawasaki has also equipped it with a set of forged Marchesini wheels wrapped in Pirelli Supercorsa SP tires. It’s powered by a 998cc in-line four-cylinder engine that produces 203hp (213hp with RAM Air) at 13,200 rpm and 114.9Nm at 11,400 rpm.

The standard Ninja ZX-10R, on the other hand, is available in two colours. A standard version that now comes in a colour called Metallic Flat Spark Black/Ebony and a special KRT edition livery called Lime Green/Ebony/Pearl Blizzard White. It too only gets aesthetic updates and remains mechanically unchanged. The regular ZX-10R doesn’t get the fancy components mentioned above but still comes loaded with features.

Both motorcycles remain mechanically unchanged, and Kawasaki has not announced any plans to bring either colour or the ZX-10RR to India.
