For the extra price, the company has added a unique paint scheme on the motorcycle which commemorates the iconic Kawasaki Z1 motorcycle. The new scheme has been christened ‘Firecracker Red’ which was also a fairly popular colour back in the '80s. Apart from the new colour scheme, the bike also gets a new chrome grab rail and golden rims to further complete its retro looks.
Save for the addition of the new paint scheme the motorcycle remains more or less the same. There is the same 649cc, parallel-twin engine which churns out the same 67.3bhp of maximum power at 8,000rpm, backed up with 64Nm of peak torque at 6,700rpm. The transmission also is the same 6-speed unit.

It also continues along with the same lightweight trellis frame since it is basically the same bike.
