The new Kawasaki Z1100 now features more aggressive and powerful styling than its predecessor. However, the Sugomi design has been retained, which maintains its identity and gives it a striking appearance. With twin-pod LED headlamps, a sharply shaped tank, and a pointed tail section, the Z1100's design will continue to attract customers.

It has been launched in only one color: Ebony / Metallic Carbon Grey, while the Z11000 SE is available in Metallic Matte Grafensteel Grey / Metallic Matte Carbon Grey. It has a dark theme, giving it an even bolder look. Most parts, including the engine and frame, have been given a blackout treatment. Both motorcycles have a similar look, but the Z11000 SE's alloy wheels are different from the Z1100's.
