Riders can make the street their playground with a wider, more forward-leaning riding position, produced by a handlebar located further forward than the current model’s, combined with a seat with an optimised seat height.
The Z650 S’s light weight and manageable seat height both contribute to manoeuvrability, whether walking beside the bike, or foot paddling in a parking lot. The smooth engine response and strong low-end torque further facilitate low-speed manoeuvring. This is reassuring for a wide range of riders.
The new Z650 S offers advanced Kawasaki technology, including traction control, KQS as an accessory for fun, engaging gear shifting, digital TFT instrumentation to provide information at a glance, and smartphone connectivity to help keep the rider well informed, all of which contribute to making motorcycling life more enjoyable.
The ability for riders to connect their smartphone with the Z650 S adds fun and convenience to every ride, as riders can use RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE to access a wide range of functions, from vehicle information to riding logs and more.
Not only will onlookers crane their necks to stare at the Z650 S, but riders themselves will be impressed as they sit on the bike, with the wide, muscular-looking shrouds entering their field of vision. Shared Z design elements like metallic accents around the machine add to a high-quality look, while LED lights front and rear reflect the bike’s sporty performance.
Retaining its compact chassis, nimble nature, and sporty riding position, the new Z650 S now features sugomi styling with bodywork that makes it appear wider and more aggressive, appealing to riders who want to be seen on an impressive-looking bike, but one that also has a rider-friendly character.
4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation with a new display layout gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance.
Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) acts to prevent rear wheel slippage, letting riders enjoy the Z650 S on the street with added reassurance.
For riders looking for even more riding excitement, the Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) is available as a Kawasaki Genuine Accessory. It lets riders shift up through the gears smoothly and quickly, adding fun to every ride.
