Heres Kawasaki USA's conversation about what colors to bring into the USA. I can't prove this, but I'm pretty sure it went down this way.
Let's import the black color. What? I have to import the se as well? We will take those in black, but let's be innovative and choose metallic black. What do you mean the se is not available in black? Well, ok then. We will order the black and green.
Under no circumstances shall anyone check the box next to the blue bike, do you understand me? If anyone orders a blue bike, you'll be emptying trash bins, at Suzuki, before your shift is over.
Kawasaki USA didn't even import any of the anniversary red/black bikes. I think this blue is a great color, but it's a bridge too far for the USA.

I prefer the emerald green/diablo black with golden stripe livery of the 2025 over this new 2026 green livery for the SE. So glad I got my 2025 non SE version in the emerald green/diablo black SE colours
I see that ones again, the standard non SE version is only available in black. I must admit, I do like the 2026 gold striping more then the green striping on the 2025. One simply cant go wrong with black and gold striping. If I got that black one , I would even consider painting those wheels gold....
No comments on the blue. I would have to see it for real. It doesn't stand out.

A Kawasaki rep once told me that black is their #1 color and that's why every damn bike is offered in black or some variation of black. I grimaced and told him I'd likely never buy another black Kawi in my life; too many other damn colors on the spectrum to choose from. Green is ok but crikey, what about blue, red, gray- anything other than black!!!
