KAWASAKI Z650 OVERVIEW

Kawasaki Z650 is a street bike available in India. It is powered by a 649cc BS6 engine with a sharper, more compact cowl and more muscular radiator shrouds, the new Z650 boasts a stronger Sugomi presence. With both front and rear disc brakes, Kawasaki Z650 comes up with an anti-locking braking system. This superbike weighs 191 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 15 liters.

Besides this change, the Z650 remains the same as before in terms of styling, features, and performance. It comes powered by a 649cc, parallel-twin engine that churns out 67.31bhp and 64Nm and is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. As for features, it offers a TFT instrument cluster that comes with Bluetooth connectivity and dual-channel ABS as standard.

The Kawasaki Z650 rides on 17-inch wheels at both ends with suspension duties being handled by telescopic forks at the front and a preload-adjustable mono-shock at the rear. Whereas, braking is taken care of by a 300mm dual-petal disc at the front and a single 220mm petal disc at the rear.

The Kawasaki Z650 receives a new color scheme called ‘Candy Lime Green Type 3’ as part of its 2022 update. This paint is a combination of green and black along with grey graphics and replaces the Metallic Spark Black color offered previously.

Kawasaki Z650 is available at a starting price of Rs. 6,24,000 and available in only 1 color. It rivals with Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
