LIGHT WEIGHT, NIMBLE HANDLING

Benefitting from a chassis comprised of lightweight components, the Ninja 650 weighs 192 kg. Designed using Kawasaki’s new in-house analysis technology, the lightweight trellis frame and swingarm were the key to the Ninja 650’s ultra-light handling.

BALANCED & RESPONSIVE

The Horizontal Back-link rear suspension provides a progressive, sporty ride with a telescopic front fork, ensuring high-level feedback and a balanced suspension package.

SPORTY TYRES

Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres contribute to the sportiest and most enticing ride yet.

ASSIST & SLIPPER CLUTCH

An Assist & Slipper Clutch helps to put the power to the ground while providing an extremely light pull at the lever and reducing rear-wheel chatter during downshifts.

COMFORT MEETS DESIGN

Contributing to the Ninja 650’s sporty appearance, the low windshield is flush-fit with the upper cowl. Its upright angle maintains sufficient wind protection for a comfortable ride when speeds pick up.

LED LIGHTING

Twin LED headlights, each featuring a low and high beam as well as a position lamp, cast a bright light while contributing to a strong Ninja family look. At the rear, an LED taillight lights up in an “X” pattern, contributing to the sporty image.

LIGHTWEIGHT TRELLIS FRAME

One of the key components to achieving the Ninja 650’s light weight (noticeable as soon as the bike is lifted off its side-stand), the trellis frame weighs only 15 kg and contributes significantly to the bike’s light, nimble handling.
