Kawasaki has announced the new 2025 Z series in Europe. The most notable of these is the black fireball, the first matte color, available on the Z900RS SE. In addition, the Z900RS and Z650RS also feature the first green fireball color.
The color names are Black Ball and Green Ball!?
The Z900RS SE is a high-end model equipped with an Ohlins rear suspension and Brembo radial mount calipers. The 2025 model was announced in Europe in a black and gray fireball color. This is the first matte color in the Z900RS series, so it's attracting a lot of attention.
The color name is a two-tone Metallic Flat Spark Black x Metallic Matte Carbon Gray. The design is a fireball color, so it's a color that might be called a black fireball or black ball.
And for the 2025 model Z900RS, in addition to the Candy Tone Red (Candy Tone Red / Ino Red: Europe) already announced in Indonesia, Metallic Diablo Black will be available. This is the first green fireball, a color that is likely to be called Green Ball.
As already predicted by Webike Plus, the Z900RS SE Black Ball is expected to appear in Japan, but the Green Ball will likely only be available in Europe. Also, the Candy Tone Red, also known as Brown Tamamushi, will likely be released in Japan. We will bring you more information as soon as it becomes available.
