Kawasaki Versys 650 [2017-2018]

<p>Kawasaki India has launched the 2026 Vulcan S at Rs 8.13 lakh ex-showroom, and this time the update is all about fuel compliance rather than visual drama. The price sees a Rs 54,000 increase over the earlier version, mainly due to homologation work and component revisions needed for ethanol-blended fuel.&nbsp;The chassis setup carries over without changes. A perimeter frame forms the base, paired with a 41mm telescopic front fork offering 130mm travel.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2026-kawasaki-z650rs-launched-in-india-with-e20-compliant-engine-at-rs-783-lakh-122551/">2026 Kawasaki Z650RS Launched in India with E20-Compliant Engine at Rs 7.83 Lakh</a></p><p> At the rear, the monoshock gets 80mm travel along with five-step preload adjustment. With a wheelbase of 1,410mm, a 30-degree rake and 120mm trail, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/vulcan-s/">Vulcan S </a>keeps its stable cruiser geometry, making it comfortable for steady highway runs and relaxed city riding.</p><p>

The motorcycle uses a 300mm front disc with a twin-piston calliper and a 250mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper. Dual-channel ABS is standard. Tyres are tubeless radials, sized 120/70-17 at the front and 160/60-17 at the rear, offering predictable grip and braking performance for everyday riding conditions.</p><h2><strong>2026 Kawasaki Vulcan S: E-20 Compliant Engine</strong></h2><p>Under the tank, the Vulcan S continues with the familiar 649cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. It produces 61bhp at 7,500rpm and 61Nm at 6,600rpm, with torque dipping slightly by 1.4Nm compared to the previous model. Kawasaki has recalibrated the fuel injection system so the engine can safely run on petrol blended with up to 20 per cent ethanol. The DOHC layout with four valves per cylinder remains unchanged, which means the riding feel stays familiar for those who value smooth power delivery over outright punch.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-speed-400-speed-t4-and-more-to-become-expensive-from-january-2026-122547/">Triumph Speed 400, Speed T4, and More to Become Expensive from January 2026</a></p><p>The 14-litre fuel tank supports longer rides between fuel stops. For 2026, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/">Kawasaki</a> introduces a Metallic Flat Spark Black paint scheme, replacing the earlier green shade. Built at the Chakan facility near Pune, the Vulcan S continues to target riders who want easy-going cruiser ergonomics with adjustable footpegs, handlebars and seat positions, while taking on rivals like the Honda Rebel 1100 and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/indian/scout-bobber/">Indian Scout Bobber</a> in the Indian market.</p>

The 2026 Kawasaki Vulcan S continues with the 649cc parallel-twin engine, updated for E20 fuel, while retaining its relaxed cruiser layout and familiar riding feel.

<p>Kawasaki has launched the 2026 Z650RS in India at Rs 7.83 lakh, ex-showroom, and it sits firmly in the brand’s middleweight range. The new price reflects a Rs 14,000 increase over the earlier version.

It retains the same role in the lineup, aimed at riders who want a mid-capacity motorcycle with a classic design but modern hardware underneath, without chasing trends or features that add cost without value.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2026-kawasaki-ninja-1100sx-launched-in-india-at-rs-1442-lakh-with-new-colour-option-122543/">2026 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX Launched in India at Rs 14.42 Lakh with New Colour Option</a></p><p>The 2026 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/z650rs/">Z650RS</a> carries forward the same design that owners already know. It comes in a Metallic Ocean Blue colour, paired with gold-coloured wheels. The graphics remain unchanged, which means it still looks familiar on the road. Kawasaki continues with the round headlamp, teardrop-style fuel tank and two-piece seat layout. The instrument cluster remains the same, featuring an analogue tachometer alongside a digital screen that displays speed and trip data. For riders who like a clear layout without layers of menus, this setup keeps things simple and easy to read during daily rides or weekend runs.</p><p>

The engine continues to be paired with a six-speed gearbox and chain final drive.</p><p>Despite the E20 update and new colour, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/">Kawasaki</a> has kept the price unchanged. The 2026 Ninja 1100SX continues to serve riders who want an inline-four sport-tourer rather than a full superbike or an adventure-tourer.

This is the only colour option available for the India-spec bike. While overseas markets get grey and black finishes, Kawasaki has chosen to limit Indian buyers to a single colourway. Apart from this update, the styling stays the same. The fairing design, body panels and twin LED headlamp setup carry over from the MY25 model, ensuring visual continuity between both versions.</p><p>Under the bodywork, the Ninja 650 continues with the 649cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine.

Seat height is 790 mm, kerb weight is 196 kg and the fuel tank holds 15 litres. Priced at Rs 7.91 lakh, the Ninja 650 stays positioned below the Honda CBR650R in India, keeping it within reach for riders stepping into this segment.</p>

2026 Kawasaki Ninja 650 Launched in India at Rs 7.91 Lakh with New Colour Option

The 2026 Ninja 650 arrives in India at Rs 7.91 lakh, featuring a new Lime Green colour, E20 fuel compatibility and the same engine and hardware setup.

<p>There’s no denying that retro bikes appeal to our longing for simpler times, with their old-school charm reminding riders of motorcycling’s golden era. Kawasaki, though mainly known for its aggressive supersport lineup, has long cultivated its neo-retro identity through the W series. India currently gets the W175, but the brand has now revealed the W230 for the UK market, scheduled for a 2026 launch, though there’s still no official word on whether it will arrive here. </p><p>Drawing inspiration from the iconic 1965 Kawasaki 650 W-1, the W230 maintains the tradition of a lightweight build, low seat height, and approachable performance, all designed to bring classic ’60s styling to a broader audience. With its minimalist frame, circular lighting, and clean, old-school silhouette, the bike appeals to both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts who crave an authentic retro riding experience.</p><h2><strong>Kawasaki W230: Engine and Hardware</strong></h2><p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/w230/">W230</a> is powered by a 233cc single-cylinder engine that delivers 17.3bhp at 7,000rpm and 18.6Nm of torque at 5,800rpm. It sports a 37mm telescopic fork setup at the front, and twin shocks at the rear with adjustable preload to fine-tune comfort and stability. Braking hardware includes a 265mm&nbsp;front disc with a dual-piston calliper, supported by a 220mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper. The bike has a kerb weight of just 133 kg,&nbsp;which should make the motorcycle exceptionally manageable in both urban traffic and tight maneuvering situations. The ground clearance stands at 150mm, while the fuel tank capacity is 12 litres.</p><h2><strong>Kawasaki W230: Will it Come to India?</strong></h2><p>As of now, Kawasaki hasn’t confirmed whether the W230 will come to India, but the growing popularity of affordable retro motorcycles here certainly leaves the door open. If launched, the W230 could help Kawasaki strengthen its presence in the increasingly competitive modern-classic segment.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2026-kawasaki-z1100-launched-in-india-at-rs-1279-lakh-122235/">2026 Kawasaki Z1100 Launched in India at Rs 12.79 Lakh</a></p><p>Positioned above the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/w175/">W175</a>, the W230 would give Kawasaki a stronger foothold in the 200–300cc retro segment, and compete with models like the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/royal-enfield/hunter-350/">Royal Enfield Hunter 350</a>, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/tvs/ronin/">TVS Ronin,</a> and the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/cb350/">Honda CB350.</a></p>

<p>Kawasaki has launched the 2026 Z1100 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 12.79 lakh, after unveiling it globally in September. The move not only reintroduces enthusiasts to one of Japan’s most respected super-naked nameplates, but also expands the brand’s lineup, giving more options to buyers in the 1000cc segment. </p><p>The motorcycle comes in a stealthy Metallic Grey shade and an array of advanced features,&nbsp;including an IMU-driven suite of electronic rider assists and a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with enhanced connectivity. For now, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/">Kawasaki</a> has chosen not&nbsp;to offer the higher-spec SE version here. </p><p>The bike is inspired by the company’s renowned Sugomi design philosophy and has aggressive aesthetics.&nbsp;It competes against the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/cb1000-hornet/">Honda CB1000 Hornet SP</a>, which is priced higher at Rs 13.29 lakh, giving Kawasaki a slight advantage in the premium super-naked segment.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2026-kawasaki-ninja-zx-10r-unveiled-at-eicma-2025-with-updated-aerodynamics-122097/">2026 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Unveiled At EICMA 2025 with Updated Aerodynamics</a></p><h2><strong>2026 Kawasaki Z1100: Engine and Hardware</strong></h2><p>The 2026 Kawasaki Z1100 is driven by a 1,099cc inline four-cylinder, DOHC 16-valve, liquid-cooled engine, also found in the Ninja 1100SX.

Kawasaki has launched the 2026 Z1100 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 12.79 lakh, after unveiling it globally in September.

<p>
Ever since it first hit the market last year, the Kawasaki KLX230 has had quite the roller-coaster of a journey – it first made headlines for its extraordinary price tag, and then again for the equally extraordinary drop in it. But at ₹1.84 lakh (ex-showroom), the KLX230 now seems to be in a sweet spot – a steal for anyone dreaming of a light &amp; capable off-road machine with that iconic Lime Green badge. Powering this featherweight machine is a 233cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, which produces 18.37bhp at 8,000rpm and 19Nm at 6,400rpm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. On paper, these numbers might not sound thrilling, but once you twist the throttle, the KLX230’s lively character immediately becomes apparent. It’s one of those bikes that thrives on momentum – it’s light, responsive, and eager to play.</p>

<p>We’d already tested the KLX230 in its natural habitat – off-road – where it was, predictably, impressive. But curiosity got the better of us, so we brought it to our annual track day at the Buddh International Circuit. And that’s where things became interesting.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/kawasaki-klx-230-review-more-capable-than-hero-xpulse-200-and-re-himalayan-450-118831/">Kawasaki KLX 230 Review: More Capable Than Hero Xpulse 200 and RE Himalayan 450?</a></p>

<p>On the track, the KLX surprised everyone with its punchy low-end torque and unexpectedly quick cornering pace. The generous ground clearance and skinny tyres meant that knee-down antics were best avoided, but the bike’s agility and willingness to lean were undeniable. My colleague Karan, meanwhile, spent more time riding it on one wheel rather than two until we literally had to drag him off the bike to save the fork seals.</p>

<p>With 240mm of suspension travel at the front and 250mm at the rear, the KLX devours rough terrain and lands jumps like a champ. Its slender frame, tall 880mm seat height, and comfortable ergonomics give it the authentic dirt-bike feel while remaining completely road-legal. Sure, its 7.5-litre tank and seat height might test your patience in the city, but once you hit the dirt, all is forgotten.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/kawasaki-klx230-gets-7-year-extended-warranty-in-india-check-full-details-inside-121936/">Kawasaki KLX230 Gets 7-Year Extended Warranty in India – Check Full Details Inside</a></p>

<p>The Kawasaki KLX230 isn’t about numbers or specs – it’s about pure, unfiltered fun. It’s the kind of bike that reminds you of the reason you fell in love with riding in the first place.
