Built to embody Ninja® sportbike lineage, the Ninja® 650 motorcycle comes packed with a sporty 649cc engine, next-level technology, and sharp styling. Unmistakable sport performance is met with an upright riding position for exciting daily commutes, while a supreme level of attitude reminds you of its legendary heritage.

Sharp Ninja® Styling

Sharp styling comes with aggressive bodywork and twin LED headlights for a sporty appearance. The windshield is positioned low, and is mounted flush with the upper cowl for a sleek design. A thick passenger seat not only provides a comfortable ride, but improves hip support for the rider.

Comfort Meets Design

The upright angle of the windshield maintains sufficient wind protection for a comfortable ride when speeds pick up.

Perform in the Clutch

An Assist & Slipper Clutch helps to put the power to the ground while providing an extremely light pull at the lever and reducing rear-wheel chatter during downshifts.

Useful Information at a Glance

All-digital TFT (thin-film transistor) color instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance and visibility. The screen’s background color is selectable (black or white), and screen brightness adjusts automatically to suit available light.

Display functions include: digital speedometer, digital bar-style tachometer, gear position indicator, shift lamp, fuel gauge, odometer, dual trip meters, current and average fuel consumption, remaining range, average speed, total time, coolant temperature, clock, battery voltage, Kawasaki service reminder, oil change reminder and the Kawasaki Economical Riding Indicator.

Take Control from your Phone

Smartphone connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE† connects you with your bike like never before, allowing you to view vehicle info, riding log, phone notifications, and general settings.

Take Control

Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) features 2 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.

Dunlop Sportmax RoadSport 2 tires contribute to the sportiest and most enticing ride yet.
