The new model Z650 S retains its signature light weight and nimble handling despite its wider and more aggressive looks. Riders will find it straightforward to handle and more experienced riders will appreciate how flickable and manoeuvrable it is, especially in the city.
Retaining its compact chassis, nimble nature, and sporty riding position, the new Z650 S now features sugomi styling with bodywork that makes it appear wider and more aggressive, appealing to riders who want to be seen on an impressive-looking bike, but one that also has a rider-friendly character.
The new Z650 S offers advanced Kawasaki technology, including traction control, KQS as an accessory for fun, engaging gear shifting, digital TFT instrumentation to provide information at a glance, and smartphone connectivity to help keep the rider well informed, all of which contribute to making motorcycling life more enjoyable.
Z machines are identifiable by their sugomi style and performance, and the new Z650 S is no exception. The Z650 S shares an unmistakable silhouette with time-honored Z proportions (crouching stance, low positioned head and upswept tail) that are hallmarks of the entire Z Supernaked family. Small touches like an aluminium radiator cover and aggressive-looking modern headlights, both shared with other models in the Z family, make it clear that this is a Z model.
This modern suspension arrangement—also featured on Kawasaki supersport and other Supernaked models— delivers a balance of sporty performance and ride comfort, producing predictable handling for an exciting and enjoyable ride.
Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) acts to prevent rear wheel slippage, letting riders enjoy the Z650 S on the street with added reassurance.
Riders can make the street their playground with a wider, more forward-leaning riding position, produced by a handlebar located further forward than the current model’s, combined with a seat with an optimised seat height.
4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation with a new display layout gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance.
Not only will onlookers crane their necks to stare at the Z650 S, but riders themselves will be impressed as they sit on the bike, with the wide, muscular-looking shrouds entering their field of vision. Shared Z design elements like metallic accents around the machine add to a high-quality look, while LED lights front and rear reflect the bike’s sporty performance.
The 649 cm3 Parallel Twin engine delivers a throttle response with a powerful feeling and a quick-revving character. To optimise performance for everyday riding, care was taken to maximise low-mid range torque. This offers both a high level of control when making minute throttle adjustments and a gratifying rush of acceleration in the lower rpm ranges.
The Z650 S’s light weight and manageable seat height both contribute to manoeuvrability, whether walking beside the bike, or foot paddling in a parking lot. The smooth engine response and strong low-end torque further facilitate low-speed manoeuvring. This is reassuring for a wide range of riders.
The ability for riders to connect their smartphone with the Z650 S adds fun and convenience to every ride, as riders can use RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE to access a wide range of functions, from vehicle information to riding logs and more.
Benefitting from a chassis comprised of lightweight components, the Z650 S was designed using Kawasaki’s in-house analysis technology, resulting in a lightweight trellis frame and swingarm that are key to its ultra-light handling. This contributes to an enjoyable ride quality and suits the bike well to a wide range of riders.
For riders looking for even more riding excitement, the Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) is available as a Kawasaki Genuine Accessory. It lets riders shift up through the gears smoothly and quickly, adding fun to every ride.
Smartphone connectivity contributes to an enhanced motorcycling experience by enabling riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly.
KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control), Kawasaki's advanced traction control system, offers a selection of modes to suit a wide range of riding situations, from sport riding to touring.
Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension arranges its shock unit horizontally, greatly contributing to efficient use of space and mass centralisation.
Dual Throttle Valves offer increased power and greater ease of use care of a second set of ECU-controlled throttle valves.
Based on racing technology, the Assist & Slipper Clutch acts as both a back-torque limiter and a self-servo mechanism that enables a lighter clutch lever pull.
The Economical Riding Indicator is a mark appearing on the instrument panel to indicate favourable fuel consumption, encouraging fuel efficient riding.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) ensures stable braking performance by preventing wheel lock during braking.
