The Intermot Motorcycle Show in October, saw Kawasaki launch the new Kawasaki Ninja 650, taking over the reins of the hugely popular and top selling ER6.

Being a mid-weight machine, the new Ninja 650, a twin cylinder, water-cooled machine is set to target a wide spectrum of potential owners. With the pressures of Euro4 compliance, Kawasaki designers took the opportunity to assess what the company’s extensive European market research was showing producing a machine with undeniable Ninja styling and spirit allied to every-day adaptability.

With outright performance less crucial to potential owners compared to usability across a number of riding scenarios, the 69PS engine has been tuned for excellent low to mid-range urge while the entire package offers a riding environment that will appeal to those looking for their first mid-weight, those trading down from a larger machine and riders with skill levels from novice to experienced.

Developed from the well-respected ER series unit, the Ninja 650 engine delivers instant response and performance with the benefit of 6.8% better fuel economy. The latest mid-weight Ninja boasts not just good looks but a chassis weight reduction of an impressive 19kg.

It can also be restricted to be A2 compliant, answering the needs of riders seeking to enter the mid-weight arena while at the same time delivering weekend sports riding and weekday commuting possibilities thanks to an ergonomically tuned riding position. Priced starting at £6,349 we should see the Kawasaki Ninja 650 in the showroom by late January 2017.
