Kawasaki has unveiled the Z650 S for 2026, joining the standard Z650 in the manufacturer's lineup. The bike features revised styling with Z900-inspired bodywork, including a three-lamp LED headlight and redesigned tank shrouds. Ergonomic changes include a handlebar that's 30mm wider than the standard Z650, repositioned footpegs, and a rider seat that's 15mm taller. The pillion seat is 20mm wider with 10mm of additional padding for improved passenger comfort. A new 4.3-inch TFT display integrates with Kawasaki's Rideology app for phone notifications and ride data.
The Z650 S retains the 649cc parallel-twin engine from the standard Z650, expected to produce similar figures of 68hp and 64Nm. Braking hardware includes twin 300mm front discs and a 220mm rear disc with Continental ABS. The bike is available in three color schemes. The Z650 S is priced from £7,199 (approximately Rs 8.42 lakh) in the UK.
