New 2022 Kawasaki Z650 ABS Sportbike Motorcycle

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.
• 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.
• COMFORTABLE POSITIONING: A thoughtful footpeg position offers a relaxed knee bend for rider comfort.
• EASY MANEUVERABILITY: A wide handlebar contributes to easy low-speed maneuvering and better leverage for higher-speed cornering.

HANDLING

• 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.

• 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.
• FULLY ADJUSTABLE: For added comfort, both clutch and brake levers are 5-way adjustable to accommodate a variety of hand sizes.
• 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. *The Z650 is a significant 44.1 lbs. lighter than its European counterpart. This results in lighter more responsive handling for the Z650.
• EXTREME GRIP: Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires—made of high-performance rubber—boost handling and provide optimum grip.

POWER & PERFORMANCE

• POWERFUL & SMOOTH: A strong, torquey engine and lightweight chassis contribute to the Z650 motorcycle’s sporty performance and versatility.
• SPORTY ENGINE PERFORMANCE: Raw power comes from a modern parallel-twin 649cc engine that packs strong torque and strong mid-range acceleration well suited for sport riding.
• ASSIST & SLIPPER: An Assist and Slipper clutch provides a lighter feel at the lever and a back-torque limiting function that helps prevent rear-wheel hop during more aggressive downshifts.
