Kawasaki has introduced the Z650 to modernise and reposition the ER-6n in its 2017 line up. The Z650 will sit above the Z250 and below either the Z800 or the Z900 in Kawasaki’s ‘Z’ line of motorcycles.
The Z650 appears to be inspired by the Sugomi design of the Z1000. According to Kawasaki, its condensed appearance is emphasised by slim, close-fitting bodywork. The bike also uses an instrument cluster featuring an analogue-style tachometer with a gear position indicator at its centre, sitting atop a multi-function LCD screen, similar to the new Ninja 650. The new sharper styling along with the aggressively raked tail makes this motorcycle appear more like a sport-naked than a naked-tourer.
The chassis and swing arm have also been redesigned, and the monoshock has now been moved to a more conventional position above the swing arm as opposed to the previous model’s offset orientation.
While the parallel twin engine still displaces 649cc, it is now Euro IV compliant. The power output has been dropped to 69bhp from 71bhp, the engine according to the company has been tuned to offer better low and midrange torque. The six-speed transmission also gets a slipper clutch. The manufacturer states that, it is also 6.8 per cent more fuel efficient than the older engine. The Z650 is also 19 kilogram lighter than the ER-6n.

It's a one hell of a leisure rider's bike. Well built and luxurious finishing. Even in traffic roads it goes like a commuter bike, i meant easy to handle bt furious at the same time... Between 90 to 120 is it's optimal speed, for speedy riders they all love it.Good in mileage gives around 13 in highways and 11 in traffic .Overall 9 out of 10 .

Kawasaki z650 is one of the best bikes in its segment.Because it is a premium brand the service also premium quality.The looks of the bike is mean and beasty typical z bike, performance is thrilling and monstrous due to the weight loss and abs as standard it makes it even more tempting ,it is really a beast.

Best performance for money!

No one, who is hungry for performance and power, is gonna be disappointed that he/she spent 6.95l (on-road kochi) on this machine. Suited for commuting for following reasons: 1) sharp and easy handling to chisel through traffic.2) enough torque in low rpm to go at 10kmph in 3rd gear then stop at a signal and then start at 3rd gear! 3) power to overtake at any gear. 4) comfortable ergonomics. But there is something we Indians are gonna hate that is scrubbing the bottom exhaust pipes on almost all speed breakers especially if you are riding one up.

You have to be careful under speed breaker and pot-holes.
