Kawasaki Ninja 650

Kawasaki Ninja 650 Highlights

Kawasaki has updated the Ninja 650 for the 2020 model year, with new styling and the addition of twin LED headlights as well as a 4.3-inch colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. The pillion seat has been made more comfortable and is now thicker and wider, and the updated bike now rolls on Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 rubber. Apart from the change in cosmetics and the addition of new features, mechanically the Ninja 650 remains identical to the older bike. However, we expect the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 to be BS6-compliant. Prices of the new Ninja 650 hasn’t been revised in international markets; whether Kawasaki will do the same in India remains to be seen. We expect the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 to be launched in India by early 2020. The Ninja 650 is powered by a liquid-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder engine delivering 68PS at 8,000rpm and peak torque of 65.7Nm at 6,500rpm. The motor is mated to a 6-speed transmission. The bike gets disc brakes at both ends and the new motorcycle features ABS as standard. The 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650 competes against the Honda CBR650F in our two-wheeler space.
