2026 Kawasaki Ninja 650: What's new?
The Lime Green colour now features a new livery
Joining the line-up is a new Lime Green livery that pays homage to Kawasaki’s racing heritage, alongside a new metallic matte grey shade that’s contrasted with sleek black accents.
The third shade is a metallic matte black and grey that has red accents. Beyond these cosmetic changes, Kawasaki hasn’t altered much else. The Ninja 650’s familiar 649cc parallel-twin engine continues to produce around 68hp and 64Nm of torque and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
As for India, the 2025 Ninja 650 currently sells at Rs 7.27 lakh (ex-showroom), and while Kawasaki has yet to announce plans for introducing the 2026 version in our market, it’s likely to make its way here. When it does, it’ll be interesting to see if Kawasaki sticks to the same price or makes any changes to it.
