MINIMAL BODYWORK. MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.

Aggressive meets supernaked with this ideal blend of sporty performance and everyday versatility. Featuring next-level technology and a strong 649cc engine, the Z650 naked sportbike is a compact middleweight without equal.

• FEEL CONNECTED: Ergonomics have a big influence on agile handling. The rider triangle places the rider “in” rather than “on top of” the bike for a feeling of confident connected handling.
• RIDE CONFIDENTLY: Low seat height and tapered seat shape create easy foot placement at stops while the upright seating provides a commanding ride position, giving the rider heads-up visibility for a confident riding experience. Superior riding comfort extends to the passenger with thicker urethane and wide sides for increased padding and support.
• COMFORTABLE POSITIONING: A thoughtful footpeg position offers a relaxed knee bend for rider comfort.
• EASY MANEUVERABILITY: A wide handlebar contributes to easy low-speed maneuvering and better leverage for higher-speed cornering.

• RIDER AND MACHINE BECOME ONE: Everything built in and around the lightweight chassis of the Z650 motorcycle is designed to become an extension of the rider.
• RESPONSIVE & BALANCED: The unique gull-arm style swingarm provides space for an under-engine exhaust for a lower center of gravity and improved handling. A horizontal back-link rear suspension offers an ideal balance of sport-riding performance and casual riding comfort. The telescopic front fork is a part of a balanced suspension package, tuned to provide progressive damping with a high level of feedback to the rider.
• TAKE CONTROL: Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) features two modes that allow the rider to adjust settings to suit the riding situation and rider preference. Mode 1 provides the least amount of assistance with sport riding in mind. Mode 2 offers the most assistance, allowing riders to navigate challenging road conditions with confidence. Riders may also elect to turn the system OFF.
• FULLY ADJUSTABLE: For added comfort, both clutch and brake levers are 5-way adjustable to accommodate a variety of hand sizes.
• LIGHTWEIGHT & CAPABLE: The overall light weight of the Z650 motorcycle comes thanks to a lightweight trellis frame with a low center of gravity for light handling and confident low-speed maneuvering.
• EXTREME GRIP: Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires—made of high-performance rubber—boost handling and provide optimum grip.
