AGGRESSIVE & MINIMALIST
Featuring Sugomi™-inspired styling, the Z650 motorcycle boasts a strong appearance with a bold front face, minimalist bodywork and a sharp design.
HANDLING
Responsive & Balanced
The unique gull-arm style swingarm provides space for an under-engine exhaust for a lower center of gravity and improved handling. A horizontal back-link rear suspension offers an ideal balance of sport-riding performance and casual riding comfort. The telescopic front fork is a part of a balanced suspension package, tuned to provide progressive damping with a high level of feedback to the rider.
HANDLING
Take Control
Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) features 3 modes that allow the rider to adjust settings to suit the riding situation and rider preference. Mode 1 provides the least amount of assistance with sport riding in mind. Mode 2 offers the most assistance, allowing riders to navigate challenging road conditions with confidence. Riders may also elect to turn the system OFF.
HANDLING
Fully Adjustable
For added comfort, both clutch and brake levers are 5-way adjustable to accommodate a variety of hand sizes.
HANDLING
Lightweight & Capable
The overall light weight of the Z650 motorcycle comes thanks to a lightweight trellis frame with a low center of gravity for light handling and confident low-speed maneuvering.
HANDLING
Extreme Grip
Dunlop Sportmax RoadSport 2 tires—made of high-performance rubber—boost handling and provide optimum grip.

RIDER AND MACHINE BECOME ONE
Everything built in and around the lightweight chassis of the Z650 motorcycle is designed to become an extension of the rider.
ERGONOMICS
Ride Confidently
Low seat height and tapered seat shape create easy foot placement at stops while the upright seating provides a commanding ride position, giving the rider heads-up visibility for a confident riding experience. Superior riding comfort extends to the passenger with thicker urethane and wide sides for increased padding and support.
ERGONOMICS
Comfortable Positioning
A thoughtful footpeg position offers a relaxed knee bend for rider comfort.
ERGONOMICS
Easy Maneuverability
A wide handlebar contributes to easy low-speed maneuvering and better leverage for higher-speed cornering.

ERGONOMICS
FEEL CONNECTED
Ergonomics have a big influence on agile handling. The rider triangle places the rider “in” rather than “on top of” the bike for a feeling of confident connected handling.
