2027 Kawasaki Z650RS: No mechanical changes
Same engine and cycle parts
The 2027 Kawasaki Z650RS continues with the same 649cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine, producing 68hp at 8,000rpm and 64Nm at 6,700rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. It retains the tubular diamond steel frame, telescopic front fork and horizontal back-link rear suspension.
Braking hardware comprises twin 300mm front discs and a 220mm rear disc, while Kawasaki Traction Control continues to be offered. The bike rides on 17-inch wheels, shod with 120/70 front and 160/60 rear tyres. Its dimensions and weight also remain unchanged, with a 12-litre fuel tank, 800mm seat height, 1,405mm wheelbase and 192kg kerb weight.
In typical neo-retro fashion, the Z650RS continues with a round LED headlight, dual-dial instrumentation with a multi-function LCD, spoke-style cast wheels and a horizontal tail section. The 2027 Z650RS is priced at Rs 7.83 lakh (ex-showroom), the same as the 2026 model. The previous model-year update had raised the price by Rs 14,000 to Rs 7.83 lakh.
