Kawasaki Z650RS [2021-2023] News - See all the news of Kawasaki Z650RS [2021-2023].

<p>Back in 2001, the Kawasaki Z650RS made its debut&nbsp;and has not undergone any modifications since then. It did, however, get a special edition to celebrate its 50th anniversary last year. In a recent development, Kawasaki has revamped its 2024 bike lineup. This update also includes the contemporary retro Z650RS. The all-new&nbsp;iteration of the Z650RS, which was just unveiled by the Japanese bikemaker, maintains the classic design while receiving minor enhancements&nbsp;here and there. One of the most significant highlights of this latest update is the inclusion of a&nbsp;3-level&nbsp;traction control system. For those unaware, several other 650cc bikes in the manufacturer's portfolio, such as the Versys 650 and the Ninja 650, were given the same feature as well. This has been done&nbsp;to&nbsp;comply with local safety standards in the US&nbsp;that require traction control on bikes.&nbsp;According to the firm, the&nbsp;addition of this new safety function&nbsp;will make&nbsp;the&nbsp;Z650RS&nbsp;a lot more safer and appealing to bike enthusiasts at the same time.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2024 Kawasaki Z650RS: Design Cues&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The Z650RS is renowned for its retro-inspired appearance.&nbsp;Although the motorcycle&nbsp;takes several&nbsp;design&nbsp;influences from its elder&nbsp;sibling, the Z900RS, it&nbsp;nevertheless displays its sleek and sophisticated styling.&nbsp;In the Z650RS, a rather sporty engine and chassis package are surrounded by a round headlight with&nbsp;a contemporary LED unit, a single-piece seat, digital-analogue instruments, and quasi-spoke alloy wheels.&nbsp;All these elements&nbsp;contribute to lending&nbsp;this Kawasaki offering&nbsp;an appealing&nbsp;look. The new Z650RS additionally received a fresh Candy Medium Red colour scheme for the European markets, which looks very attractive. It is anticipated that the bikemaker will offer&nbsp;this paint job in our domestic market as well&nbsp;when the updated model arrives on Indian shores.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2024 Kawasaki Z650RS: Hardware Details</h2>

<p>A mono-shock at the back and 41mm telescopic forks are in charge of the damping duties.&nbsp;The motorcycle has 17-inch wheels on both ends, and its front and rear disc brakes help it slow down. Moreover, a dual-channel ABS is included in the safety net.</p>

<h2>2024 Kawasaki Z650RS: Engine Specs</h2>

<p>The 649cc parallel-twin engine powering the&nbsp;Kawasaki&nbsp;Z650RS is the same one found in the Versys 650, the Ninja 650, and many other models. This unit is coupled to a six-speed gearbox and churns out&nbsp;67bhp of maximum power&nbsp;and 64Nm of peak torque. Notably, the rider can&nbsp;now utilise the power in far safer conditions thanks to the newly incorporated 3-level&nbsp;traction control system.</p>

<h2>2024 Kawasaki Z650RS: Competitors</h2>

<p>On the&nbsp;international scale, the Z650RS from the house of Kawasaki&nbsp;competes with the likes of&nbsp;the Yamaha XSR700, the Honda CB650R, as well as the&nbsp;Ducati Scrambler. In the Indian market, the bike goes up against the latter two models. The price of the current generation&nbsp;Z650RS in our country&nbsp;stands at Rs 6.92 lakh (ex-showroom). Meanwhile, the 2024 model will likely come to India early next year. When the updated version goes on sale here,&nbsp;there can be&nbsp;a marginal price hike.&nbsp;</p>

The grab handle which is painted in matte black on the standard motorcycle, the 50th Anniversary Edition paint scheme offers the same with a chrome finish. The wheels, however, are the same gold-finished as the stock motorcycle.</p>

<p>The mechanicals and cycle parts are the same as before. A 649cc parallel-twin continues to power the new special edition motorcycle. The power figures are 67bhp and 64Nm. The gearbox is a six-speed unit, which packs a slipper clutch assembly.</p>

Kawasaki Z650 RS  50th Anniversary Edition launched at Rs 6.79 lakh

The 50th Anniversary paint scheme pays homage to the Kawasaki Z1 which launched – internationally – back in 1972; and now, that paint scheme is offered with the new Kawasaki Z650RS.

<p><strong>The 50th Anniversary Edition of the Kawasaki Z650RS will&nbsp;soon be available in the Indian market. However, the motorcycle will be sold in limited numbers and will carry a higher price tag.</strong></p>

<p>Kawasaki recently showcased the 50th Anniversary Edition of the Z650, Z650RS, Z900, and Z900RS in the international market. Now, Kawasaki India has confirmed that the 50th Anniversary edition of the Z650RS will be launched here soon.</p>

<p>The motorcycle features a special paint scheme, which is a combination of gloss red and black. This paint scheme pays homage to the first Z series motorcycle – the Kawasaki Z1 – which was launched back in 1972.</p>

The same 649cc parallel-twin will power the new motorcycle. The power figures of 67bhp at 8,000rpm and 64Nm at 6,700rpm will be unchanged as well. The gearbox will be a six-speed unit, which will pack a slipper clutch assembly.</p>

<p>The Kawasaki Z650RS 50th Anniversary Edition will be sold in limited numbers and at a premium over the standard motorcycle.
