The biggest news is of course the new 4.3-inch TFT screen. But it is not just a pretty screen as it includes features that could be found on bigger (read: more expensive) bikes. There is the auto contrast feature; Bluetooth connectivity for music and phone calls; GPS navigation via connection to a phone app; and thankfully a gear position indicator.

A lot of the major Japanese motorcycle marques haven’t made significant upgrades to their best-selling models this year—the updates have been largely cosmetic, and that’s the case with the 2022 Z650 as well. The 649cc parallel-twin engine is the same one from last year, producing 67 hp @ 8,000 rpm and 48.5 lb-ft of torque @ 6,500 rpm.

Color options are what really set this year’s offering apart from its predecessors. The 2022 Z650 comes in metallic spark black/metallic flat spark black, candy lime green/metallic spark black, and pearl robotic white/metallic matte graphene steel gray.

Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires also come stock on the Z650, and you get horizontal back-link rear suspension to carry you seamlessly over bumps in the road. Sitting solidly in the midst of the 2022 Kawasaki motorcycle lineup, this bike starts at $7,549 USD / $8,499 CAD.

Clever technology enables riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly. Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP,” a number of instrument functions can be accessed, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience. Vehicle information (such as the odometer, fuel gauge, maintenance schedule, etc) can be viewed on the smartphone. Riding logs (varies by model, but may include GPS route, gear position, rpm, and other information) can be viewed on the smartphone. When connected, telephone (call, mail) notices are displayed on the instrument panel. Riders can also make changes to their motorcycle’s instrument display settings (preferred units, clock and date setting, etc) via the smartphone. And on certain models, it is even possible to check and adjust vehicle settings (such as Rider Mode, electronic rider support features, and payload settings) using the smartphone.

Sugomi performance ensures that riding the Z650 is a treat for the senses. A responsive, torqueful engine character and nimble, lightweight chassis offer sporty riding excitement that new and more experienced riders alike will enjoy.

Kawasaki is updating its Z650 and Z900 naked sport bikes for 2020, with the Z900 receiving the most significant changes that bring it up-to-date and closer to its competition technology-wise.

Other changes for 2020 include a new 4.3-inch TFT instrument that incorporates Bluetooth smartphone connection via Kawasaki’s Rideology app, a revised frame with added strength in the swingarm pivot area, updated suspension settings, slightly revised styling that includes an LED headlight and new Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires.

Meanwhile, the 2020 Z650 gets a light style refresh that includes an LED headlight, TFT display with Rideology app connectivity and new Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires. It will be available in Metallic Spark Black and Metallic Spark Black/Metallic Flat Spark Black starting at $7,249 ($7,649 for ABS version).

Kawasaki had announced it will increase the prices of its motorcycles from 1 January 2021. And among that list was the Z650. The streetfighter is priced at Rs 6.04 lakh; an increase of Rs 10,000 over the previous model that was launched in April 2020.

The Kawasaki Z650 is offered in the same Metallic Spark Black paint scheme which features a combination of black and green as before. However, as part of the update, it comes with green wheels.

The 2020 Kawasaki Z650 sports the same ‘Sugomi’ design that gives it an aggressive look. It features a sharp, low-slung full-LED headlamp, muscular fuel tank and a slightly upswept tail.

Powering the Z650 is a 649cc, inline two-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. The motor churns out 67.3bhp at 8,000rpm and 64Nm at 6,700rpm. It comes mated to a six-speed transmission.

Apart from the full-LED headlamp and tail lamp, Kawasaki has equipped the Z650 with a 4.3-inch, TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity that can be paired to a smartphone via the Kawasaki Rideology app. The motorcycle also comes with a dual-channel ABS and rides on Dunlop Sportsmax Roadsport 2 tyres.

Striking Sugomi styling, easy control and accessible power invoke the Kawasaki Z spirit. LED lights and a TFT display deliver the newest tech. The Z650 will energize your senses and inspire your every ride.

From its front cowl adorned with meter cover to its compact tail cowl, the Z650’s head-turning design exudes a functional beauty. Complementing sugomi design elements (crouching stance, low-positioned head and upswept tail) that give it an instantly recognisable silhouette, its condensed appearance is emphasised by slim, close-fitting bodywork designed to give the bike a light, nimble image that reflects its sporty performance.TECHNOLOGYHIGH-TECH ELECTRONICS
