But sales have exploded in this category, and with more manufacturers now getting into the fray, the basically unchanged Kawasaki is at risk of getting left behind.</p><p>Overview<br>Based on the Ninja 650R, the Z650 is Kawasaki’s middleweight naked bike designed to bring that same economical performance to a more practical platform. Three years after its debut, the midsize Kawasaki Z received some updates in 2020 that included sharper bodywork styling (based upon the “sugomi” theme that now characterizes all of the Z models), LED headlights, color TFT dash display, Bluetooth connectivity with Kawasaki’s Rideology app (showing vehicle info and call notification), a thicker and wider passenger seat, and Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires.</p><p>Updates for 2021<br>There were no updates to the Kawasaki Z650 for 2021.</p><p>Pricing and Variants<br>The 2021 Kawasaki Z650 will be available in a non-ABS version for $7,249, and an ABS version for $7,749. Available colorways are Pearl Blizzard White/Metallic Spark Black and Metallic Spark Black/Metallic Flat Spark Black.</p><p>Competition<br>With sales in this category skyrocketing over the past decade, the Kawasaki Z650 is now facing some pretty serious competition. Besides the Suzuki SV650, Yamaha MT-07, and Honda CB650R, there are two new European entries into the class: the Aprilia Tuono 660 and the Triumph Trident 660.</p><p>Powertrain: Engine, Transmission, and Performance<br>Some minor tweaks were done to the 649cc parallel-twin engine from the Ninja 650 in order to boost low-end and midrange power, resulting in a peak of approximately 58 hp at 7,800 rpm and 42 pound-feet of torque at 6,600 rpm when CW ran a 2018 Z650 on the dyno, which has remained mechanically unchanged since. The power feels nice and punchy in the midrange, with a good hit of power at around 4,000–5,000 rpm. Fuel delivery and throttle response are butter-smooth, allowing you to make use of that midrange when accelerating off of a tighter corner. The six-speed transmission shifts flawlessly, though the clutch can be a little grabby when leaving from a stop.</p>
