The Kawasaki Z650 combines the manufacturer's aggressive Sugomi styling with accessible performance. While it doesn't boast the same sales figures as its bigger sibling, the Z900, it's still an impressive motorcycle. If you're in the market for one, here are answers to some questions you might have.

How much power does the Kawasaki Z650 make?

The Kawasaki Z650 is powered by a 649cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine producing 68hp at 8,000rpm and 64Nm of torque at 6,700rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox that features a slip-and-assist clutch.

What is the weight of the Kawasaki Z650?

The Kawasaki Z650 has a kerb weight of 188kg, making it the lightest motorcycle in the brand's 650cc range. More importantly, this translates to a power-to-weight ratio of 361.70hp/tonne – one of the best figures in its price bracket. 

What is the seat height of the Kawasaki Z650?

The Kawasaki Z650 has a seat height of 790mm. The relatively low and narrow seat design makes it an accessible motorcycle for a wide range of riders.

What features does the Kawasaki Z650 have?

The Kawasaki Z650 comes equipped with a 4.3-inch full-colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity via Kawasaki's Rideology app, all-LED lighting, three levels of traction control, and dual-channel ABS.

The Kawasaki Z650 is priced at Rs 7.26 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Internationally, Kawasaki has introduced a new Z650 S variant that features minor updates and revised ergonomics, and we expect it to be introduced here later this year, positioned above the standard Z650.
