TOP FEATURES
KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control)
Kawasaki’s advanced traction control system provides both enhanced sport riding performance and the peace of mind under certain conditions to negotiate low-traction surfaces with confidence. Two modes allow riders to adjust settings to suit the riding situation and rider preference. Riders may also elect to turn the system OFF. For 35 kW kit models, KTRC offers one mode (plus OFF).
TFT Colour Instrumentation
The all new digital TFT colour instrumentation – a Kawasaki first in the 650cc class – gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance. The new meter also offers additional features unavailable on the previous model.
Smartphone Connectivity
The aerodynamic racer-inspired front cowl, highlighted by compact LED headlights, new Ram Air intake and a taller windshield, is the “face” of the Ninja ZX-10R’s next generation Ninja styling.
LED Headligs
Twin LED headlights, each featuring low and high beam as well as a position lamp, offer increased brightness.
Sharper Ninja Styling
The Ninja 650’s sharper new styling gives it a sportier appearance and even stronger Ninja family looks. Its sleek and sporty design inspires confidence in riders.
Cleaner Emissions
A number of changes to the intake and exhaust system components were made to ensure that BS-6 emissions regulations are cleared, and offer an increase in mid-range torque while maintaining the power of the previous model.
Improved Windshield
Prioritising a sportier appearance, the redesigned windshield is now lower and flush-fit with the upper cowl. It is set at a more upright angle to offer the rider decent wind protection.
New Tyres
New Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres contribute to the Ninja 650 superb handling character.
