Spot The Difference Is Back!


Think you've got a sharp eye for detail? We're putting Club Kawasaki members to the test with a brand-new Spot the Difference Challenge! In the image above, you'll find the 2026 KLE500 SE and the all-new 2027 KLE650 SE side by side, each photographed from the same angle. While they share the same adventurous spirit, there are over 15 visible differences hidden between the two motorcycles. Your challenge is simple: find as many as you can!

This isn't about specifications, performance figures or mechanical changes. Instead, we're looking for the visual differences you can spot in the image itself. Take a close look at both bikes, compare every detail and see how many differences you can identify. Whether you're a Kawasaki expert or simply enjoy a good challenge, this is a great opportunity to put your observation skills to the test.

To enter, simply circle the differences you've found on the supplied image and email your completed picture to club@kawasaki.co.uk. Entries must be received before the next edition of Friday News is published on 13th November. The member who correctly identifies all of the differences first will be declared the winner, so make sure your guesses are submitted fast before someone else takes the podium!

As a reward, the winner will receive one ticket to the exclusive Club Kawasaki Member Preview Event at Motorcycle Live on 21st November. It's a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow Club Members, enjoy VIP treatment and refreshments, experience a guided tour of Kawasaki's new 2027 model range, and be among the first in the UK to see what's in store for Kawasaki's future in an intimate, exclusive setting. Good luck to everyone taking part, and we can't wait to see how many of these differences you can find!


BSB 2026: Thank You for an Unforgettable Season


As the 2026 ZYN British Superbike Championship draws to a close following an action-packed finale at Brands Hatch, we'd like to say a huge thank you to all of our Club Kawasaki members for their fantastic support throughout the season. Whether you joined us in the Kawasaki Hospitality Suite overlooking the Brands Hatch circuit or attended with general admission tickets from the Club Member Shop, your passion and enthusiasm have helped create a brilliant atmosphere at every round. Seeing so many Kawasaki supporters trackside this year has been a real highlight for everyone involved.

This season has also been another strong step forward for the AJN Steelstock bimota team, with the riders and crew delivering a number of memorable performances. A particular highlight came at the final Brands Hatch round, where rookie Joe Talbot secured an excellent third-place podium finish to round out his debut season in style. Results like these are the reward for the relentless dedication, professionalism and hard work shown by the entire team behind the scenes, both at the circuit and watching nervously from home, but wereallycouldn't have done it without your support.


Throughout 2026, the AJN Steelstock bimota team has continued to demonstrate the strength and potential of the bimota project in one of the most competitive domestic championships in the world. The progress made over the course of the season, combined with a series of impressive race results, has provided plenty for Kawasaki and bimota fans to celebrate. Every rider, engineer, mechanic and team member has played their part in proudly representing the Kawasaki family throughout the championship, and we are so grateful to have been able to share this success with you.

While one season ends, another exciting chapter is already on the horizon. Alongside the AJN Steelstock bimota team returning to the grid in 2027, Kawasaki will also welcome Binch Racing as they bring the iconic Ninja ZX-10R back to British Superbikes. With two teams flying the flag next season and plenty of momentum behind us, there is every reason to be excited about what lies ahead. Our successes in 2026 have laid strong foundations for the future, and we can't wait to share the journey with our Club Kawasaki members once again next year.


The Exclusive Club Magazine's 32nd Issue Is Almost Here!



Excitement is building at Kawasaki UK as we put the finishing touches to
Issue 32 of the exclusive Club Kawasaki magazine, which will be arriving with members in just a few weeks time. As always, the team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring together another packed edition, filled with stories, insights and features created especially for our members. We can't wait to get it into your hands and share some of the fantastic content we've been working on.

Without giving too much away, readers can look forward to a diverse mix of features covering the latest 2027 racing news, new Kawasaki model information, inspiring Club Member riding journeys and an exclusive insight into life behind the scenes from a member of the Kawasaki team. We've also spent time catching up with one of our female Club Ambassadors, who continues to do fantastic work encouraging more women to discover the enjoyment, confidence and community that motorcycling can bring.

One of the features we're particularly excited about is the introduction of The Club Ride, a brand-new section dedicated to showcasing some of our members' favourite riding routes. We were delighted by the number of submissions received, and we'd like to extend a sincere thank you to everybody who took the time to share their recommendations. The enthusiasm, local knowledge and passion shown by our members made selecting routes incredibly difficult, and we're proud to feature some fantastic rides for fellow Club Kawasaki members to discover for themselves.

Issue 32 is another celebration of the people who make this community so special, from our members and ambassadors to the Kawasaki staff and partners who help bring the magazine to life. Thank you for your continued support, contributions and enthusiasm throughout the year. We look forward to sharing the latest issue with you very soon and hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as we've enjoyed creating it.
