While Kawasaki has not disclosed the new BS6 motor’s power output, we expect it to be similar to the BS6 Z650’s powerplant. The 649cc parallel-twin motor delivers 68PS at 8000rpm and 64Nm at 6700rpm. While power remains the same, torque has dropped by 1.7Nm and comes 200rpm higher. We expect the BS4 Ninja 650’s 6-speed gearbox and assist and slipper clutch to be carried over.
Other than a cleaner motor, the 2020 Ninja 650 gets cosmetic updates. The fairing has been revised and the front end now looks similar to the Ninja 400 and Ninja ZX-6R. It gets two new colours: white-black and the green KRT edition. The motorcycle now gets twin LED headlamps as well as a 4.3-inch colour TFT instrument console that can be connected to your smartphone via the Kawasaki Rideology app. While the underpinnings remain unchanged, the 2020 Ninja 650 gets stickier Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres.

- Favorite bike foreverBest ever bike ever. I would like to but kawasaki ninja 650 soon I am impressed and sure I will buy soon thanku
- Adequate power + good mileage for a tourerIt could possibly be a good bike for the tourers, especially the ones traveling inter-city or interstate. The bike's comfortable riding position and ergonomic control give the biker the pleasure to be on it while mile-munching on the highways and the bike is equally good on the in-city roads as well. Mileage-wise, the bikes return a comparably better fuel average than similarly priced bikes. But one can also consider the Suzuki GSX S750 for just a tiny buck more. It not only has 2 more cylinders to power itself but it also sports 46PS and a 17Nm surplus of power and torque over the Ninja 650. So the Ninja here is an entry-level adventure tourer where as the S750 is a naked street sports bike that can also be used as a sports tourer but still the Ninja650 will return much better fuel mileage than S750 ever can. Make sure u know what u want before finalizing either of them.Read More5
