Kawasaki has launched the new Pearl Robotic White colour option on the Ninja 650 in India. The motorcycle was earlier available with only the Lime Green colour option. Now the new colour will retail alongside the Lime Green option. Also, the price of the Kawasaki Ninja 650 will remain unchanged. The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 650 in both the Lime Green and Peral Robotic White comes with an INR 6.61 lakh ex-showroom sticker price. The brand also revealed that the deliveries on the Ninja 650 will begin from September 2021.
The Kawasaki Ninja 650 comes with the brand’s latest design language with a stronger incline towards the Ninja family looks. The bike gets a sportier appearance and sharper new styling on the fairing, along with sleeker headlamps and taillamps. The motorcycle follows the ‘high-tail low nose’ design theory. Kawasaki has also made improvements in the windshield department which is now fit flush with the upper cowl. It is also lower than before but comes with a more upright angle to offer wind protection to the rider.
Powering the Ninja 650 is a BS6 compliant 649cc parallel-twin cylinder engine. The liquid-cooled motor produces 68 PS of power and 64 Nm of torque. The engine features electronic fuel injection with dual throttle valves and a DOHC valvetrain distribution system. The motor is paired to a 6-speed return type transmission and an Assist & Slipper clutch.
The Kawasaki Ninja 650 comes with a high-tensile steel trellis chassis. The frame rides on 41mm front forks and preload-adjustable horizontal back-link suspension. Stopping power comes from 300mm dual semi-floating petal discs on the front. A single 220mm petal disc unit does duty on the rear wheel. The motorcycle also comes with a dual-channel ABS for safety and gets 17-inch alloy wheels shod in Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres.
The Kawasaki Ninja 650 comes with features such as new LED headlamps, a 4.3-inch TFT colour instrumentation and clip-on style handlebars. However, the motorcycle gets a fairly relaxed rider’s triangle for highway touring. The bike comes with split seats and a comfortable riding position, blending sporty performance with sport touring features.
