Kawasaki unveils the latest array of 2024 models!

While 2023 might still be in full swing, Kawasaki is already looking ahead to next year, announcing today a raft of 2024 models set to be arriving in the UK over the coming months.

From entry-level bikes such as the Ninja 125 and Z125 to the retro-inspired Z650RS and supercharged Z H2, the lineup confirms the brand's commitment to delivering exceptional machines for every rider and budget.

These 23 models join the already announced Ninja ZX-4RR, Ninja ZX-6R, Eliminator and KX450, as well as the next generation of motorcycles in the Z EV and Ninja EV electric machines, making for an impressive array of bikes that cover every aspect of motorcycling. The full list of models included in the latest 2024 range can be found in the table below, including the colours, pricing and when they will arrive in the UK.

Craig Watson, Sales and Marketing Manager at Kawasaki UK:
“We are very pleased to announce this huge selection of models that will form part of our growing range in 2024. With some of our most popular machines included, along with many new and exciting colours and competitive pricing, we are confident that there is a machine for every customer, no matter their preference or experience!”



Kawasaki British Superteen Ninja ZX-4RR to come alive at Thruxton!

Fresh from the announcement at Brands Hatch of the exciting new British Superteen Championship, fans at Thruxton will get to see the Ninja ZX-4RR in action for the first time when it takes to the high-speed circuit for some demonstration laps at the hands of Cheshire Mouldings Kawasaki rider Lee Jackson.

There has been an overwhelming response since the launch of the new series, and with over 30 riders already showing strong interest in competing, spaces on the grid are beginning to fill up fast. While riders and teams were able to get up close to the new Ninja at Brands Hatch, everyone was eager to see and hear the bike in action. 

Kawasaki UK is pleased to be giving the bike its UK track debut this weekend, with BSB star Lee Jackson taking to the track to showcase the high-revving Ninja ZX-4RR in what is sure to be an audible treat for fans trackside. The 2024 Kawasaki British Superteen package costs under £12,000 (plus VAT), which gives you a race ready Ninja ZX-4RR, built by our Team Green Technical Partners, MSS Performance. Any riders or teams interested in joining the grid next season should email orders@mssperformance.com to book your bike build and superteen@msvracing.co.uk to register your slot on the grid. 

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki UK:

“The response to the new class was unbelievable at Brands Hatch, and interest in the bike from potential racers, the media and fans alike has been overwhelming. We know that everyone wants to hear what one sounds like on track this weekend, and the thought of a full grid of Ninjas at full throttle will be an enticing one for sure! We also want to reiterate the importance of registering yourself as an entrant as well as with MSS Performance so that you can be at the front of the queue when it comes to having your new race bike built and ready for testing!”


Kawasaki UK set for all-new AX Fest this September

Kawasaki UK is excited to confirm that it will be attending the exciting new AX Fest celebration on September 15-17. Run by the team behind the highly successful Arenacross events, the three-day festival will be a celebration of music and motorbikes, while it will also feature as the opening round of the 2024 Arenacross series.  

Having secured the AX Pro title earlier this year with MX legend Tommy Searle, Kawasaki and Tommy are looking to kick-start the 2024 Championship with a victory at the all-new AX Fest. Held at Bolesworth Castle, the new event is set to be the biggest motocross festival in the UK, with live action and music throughout the weekend. 

With track action getting underway Friday, revellers will also be able to enjoy live music every night with Rick Parfitt Jnr and the RPJ band and Ibiza icon Pete Walshe set to close out the Friday evening before legendary DJ and Faithless producer brings the party to Bolesworth on Saturday night. 

Kawasaki will be in attendance throughout the event, not only supporting Tommy Searle as he looks to retain his Arenacross title but also showcasing its entire range to attendees. Alongside a selection of 2023 road bikes, Kawasaki will also be bringing the latest motocross machines as well as its MULE and ATV vehicles. 

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki UK:
“We are really excited to be heading to the inaugural AX Fest. The Arenacross series was a fantastic spectacle earlier this year, and we can't wait to see what the team have created for the festival. Naturally, we are hoping that Tommy can repeat his success, but we are also looking forward to meeting the many fans attending and showing them our 2023 Kawasaki range, including the utility vehicles such as the MULE Pro MX and Bruteforce 750 ATV.” 

Matt Bates, Event Promoter and Bolesworth Events Managing Director:
“We're extremely proud and excited to be announcing this partnership extension with Kawasaki UK; to see them extend their agreement for our 2024 indoor series, as well expanding their involvement into AX Fest is genuinely amazing to see. 

“Similar to the indoor series, AX Fest will attract a wide variety of fans from action sports, adventure and of course motocross, so with Kawasaki showcasing motocross, UTV's and road bikes, as well as offering a first-time riding experience on their KLX models, their presence will spread far wider than the race track.”

Club Kawasaki members will be able to enjoy a weekend ticket to any of the eleven championship rounds, where you can watch all the action live as it unfolds. To make your visit extra special, members will also have the chance to enjoy an exclusive tour of the Cheshire Mouldings Racing Kawasaki garage on the Saturday of each race weekend. Tickets are £39 per person for weekend entry.

Sales will close approx. 2 weeks prior to the event to give us time to order and send tickets.


Brands Hatch BSB Hospitality 

We're giving our Club Kawasaki members a unique chance to get trackside at Brands Hatch BSB in our Kawasaki suite! Overlooking one of the best corners in the world, the iconic Paddock Hill, the suite is the perfect place to celebrate being able to return to watch the bar-bashing thrills and spills that is the British Superbike Championship.

Included in the package will be weekend entry tickets, ensuring you can watch every minute of the action, and full hospitality on the Saturday. Based on the main straight, you will be able to enjoy the very best views and can see almost the entire Indy circuit and podium directly from our Kawasaki suite. There is also a large outdoor decking area for you to enjoy, allowing you to soak up the atmosphere and (hopefully!) glorious sunny weather.  

Guests will be able to enjoy a hot and cold breakfast to kick-start the day, while a delicious lunch and host of sweet treats ensures there really is no better place to be for a day at the races. To make your day even more special, Cheshire Mouldings Kawasaki team riders Lee Jackson & Max Cook will be stopping by for a unique meet and greet.*
