Maintaining the "Fun, Style, Easy" concept of its predecessor, the superbly balanced and extremely exciting Ninja 650 features a 650cc Parallel Twin engine with a strong low-mid range focus and a lightweight chassis in a slim, middleweight package. Engine refinements contribute to cleaner emissions and increased mid-range torque, and new tyres offer lighter handling. Sharp new styling, highlighted by new LED headlights and TFT colour instrumentation, delivers a sportier appearance and even stronger Ninja family looks.
A black gel resin tank pad with Kawasaki logo is complemented by black foil knee pads to provide optimum protection to the bodywork.
Stylish pads with aluminium insert and Kawasaki logo. Give extra protection for bodywork. Will fit quickly and easily without modifications to the bike.
Lightweight soft panniers with reflective piping and Kawasaki logo. Inner nets keep your luggage in place when the bag is opened. Side pocket for small goods. Easy fitment on metal bracket with clip. Waterproof inner bags are included.
The large touring windshield gives improved wind protection and comfort. It is about 10cm higher and 5cm wider than original windshield. Furthermore, the windshield is adjustable in 3 positions with a total range of 60 mm.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) ensures stable braking performance by preventing wheel lock during braking.
Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension arranges its shock unit horizontally, greatly contributing to efficient use of space and mass centralisation.
Based on racing technology, the Assist & Slipper Clutch acts as both a back-torque limiter and a self-servo mechanism that enables a lighter clutch lever pull.
Dual Throttle Valves offer increased power and greater ease of use care of a second set of ECU-controlled throttle valves.
The Economical Riding Indicator is a mark appearing on the instrument panel to indicate favourable fuel consumption, encouraging fuel efficient riding.
Smartphone connectivity contributes to an enhanced motorcycling experience by enabling riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly.
