Kawasaki Z650

Kawasaki Z650 Overview

The Z650 suits buyers who want a substantial middleweight naked for highway rides and weekend use, with enough versatility for regular riding. Its liquid-cooled 649cc twin makes 67.31 bhp and 64 Nm, while the six-speed gearbox gives the rider a broad set of ratios. Dual-channel ABS covers both wheels, and traction control adds another layer of assistance. The TFT display includes Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation. Its 27 kmpl mileage is a manufacturer’s claim, and the 15-litre tank gives buyers a useful capacity to plan around.

Against the Z650RS, the Z650 is marginally lighter, has more torque and a lower seat, and is priced below it. The Triumph Trident 660 makes more power at 80 bhp, while the Z650 has higher claimed mileage than the Trident and is priced below it. The Z650’s 790 mm seat is the lower of the two, though its 191 kg kerb weight and lack of a quickshifter or cruise control are worth considering.

• The 649cc twin produces 67.31 bhp and 64 Nm for strong performance potential.
• Dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels from locking during hard braking.
• Traction control helps limit rear-wheel spin.
• A 790 mm seat is lower than the Z650RS’s 800 mm seat.
• The TFT display pairs Bluetooth with turn-by-turn navigation.
• Claimed 27 kmpl mileage gives buyers a consumption figure to consider.

Best for: Buyers seeking a feature-equipped middleweight naked for highway and weekend riding, with a lower seat and higher claimed mileage than the Trident 660.
