Kawasaki Z650RS

Kawasaki Z650RS Overview

Rather than a small-displacement commuter, the Z650RS is aimed at riders wanting a middleweight naked bike with substantial stated output. Its 649cc liquid-cooled engine makes 67.07bhp and 62.1Nm, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. Dual-channel ABS and discs at both ends support braking safety. The 800mm seat and 192kg kerb weight are worth considering for shorter riders or frequent manoeuvring, while the listed absence of a pillion seat limits its appeal for regular two-up use.

Against the Kawasaki Z650, it has slightly less power and torque, a seat 10mm taller and a tank 3 litres smaller; it is priced above the Z650. The Triumph Trident 660 makes more power but is priced above the Z650RS. The 12-litre tank is a practical drawback, and no mileage figure is supplied to estimate range. Adjustable rear preload and an analogue speedometer and tachometer alongside an LCD display round out its useful equipment.

• 67.07bhp and 62.1Nm pair substantial stated output with a six-speed manual gearbox.
• Dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels from locking during hard braking.
• Disc brakes at both ends provide braking hardware for the front and rear wheels.
• Adjustable rear preload lets you alter the rear suspension setup.
• Analogue speedometer and tachometer sit alongside an LCD display.

Best for: Buyers seeking a powerful middleweight naked bike with dual-channel ABS who do not need a pillion seat for regular two-up riding.
