2026 Kawasaki Ninja 650: Everything you need to know
The all-new Ninja 650 might not offer a big change over the outgoing model, but it does feature a more green and efficient engine that is now compliant with the E20 petrol. The previous model was not E20 compliant, and hence it could not be sold further.
With that said, the new model also offers an updated Lime Green colour with the new livery that was introduced globally a few months ago. The rest of the motorcycle is unchanged, as it continues offering the sporty riding position with a comfortable suspension setup for long-distance high-speed touring.
In terms of features, it is equipped with a 4.3-inch TFT console with Bluetooth connectivity and features like the traction control, ride modes, ABS modes, navigation, etc.
Powering the new Ninja 650 is the same 649cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that offers 68 bhp and 62.1 Nm of power and torque. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch.
