The 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is new with brand new aggressive styling.

It is Euro 4 compliant with the same power output but about 7% more fuel efficient.  One of the main reasons for this improvement in fuel efficiency is the huge loss in weight - curb weight is reduced by 42 lbs / 19 kg.  The main contributors are a new swingarm and frame.

On the 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650, the 649cc parallel twin engine has been retuned to improve low- and mid-range torque delivery. This has been accomplished with the incorporation of longer header pipes, 36mm throttle bodies, new air-box along with a new intake and exhaust cams. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox and gets a slipper clutch as standard.

The previous Ninja 650 used a laydown rear shock that extended the line from the frame to the swingarm along the left side. The new rear shock follows a similar line but now lined up inside the subframe above the swingarm. The shock is mounted in a horizontal back-link configuration similar to the ZX-10R.

Other features include Nissin calipers, a Bosch 9.1M ABS, 31.1-inch seat height, adjustable levers and multi-function instrumentation including a gear position indicator and a shift indicator lamp. The shift indicator lights when the engine and the white tachometer needle will begin flashing red when the engine approaches a selected speed

It will be offered in lime green and ebony, metallic black, pearl white and candy burnt orange colours.

•Smooth Power: New assist/slipper clutch for light feel at the clutch lever and reduced wheel hop during downshifts for smooth corner entry
•Agile Handling: New lighter weight brakes and 5-spoke wheels reduce unsprung weight which contributes to light handling
•Aggressive Ninja Styling: New clip-on style handlebars for authentic Ninja image

Strong power and nimble handling highlight the new 2017 Ninja® 650 motorcycle. Exciting and easy to ride with sporty performance and aggressive styling, the modern Ninja 650 stays true to its Ninja roots. Rounding out the package, a comfortable and adaptable upright riding position makes the Ninja 650 an exceptional everyday ride.

With all-new sleek, angular bodywork draped over a new chassis and engine updates, the new Ninja® 650 delivers uncompromising middleweight Ninja motorcycle performance and style while maintaining everyday versatility.

With its new trellis style frame, twin-cylinder water-cooled engine, low seat height and distinct Ninja personality the new Ninja 650 is a stylish and practical answer to the needs of a growing European audience. Appealing to those new to two wheels or moving from either a smaller or larger capacity machine, the Ninja 650 offers both sporting performance and weekday in-town versatility.

A NEW SPORTY, COMFORTABLE, MIDSIZED MOTORCYCLE BUILT WITH NINJA ENGINEERING.

A lone sportbike is heard gliding through the turns of a two-lane mountain road. A casual Sunday, with the sun falling behind the peaks, and the light fading. Through one corner and onto the next, each mile bringing a new adventure. Carving out your own line, you daydream of the racetrack. The race may be on TV, but at home your couch is empty. Instead, you replay the race in your head as you roll into the next corner and out to a long straight. You blast past the local biker-hangout café. The parking lot is full, riders stand and talk in their full-race leathers. But you have no time for standing.

Your bike isn’t meant for a parking lot.

Riding through the canyons on the weekend or to work on Monday, introducing the new, easy-going sportbike, the Ninja® 650 motorcycle.

” NEW Stronger, lighter frame
” NEW Rear suspension and redesigned gull-arm swingarm
” UPDATED Parallel twin 650cc engine
” NEW Sportbike cowling, headlight and design elements.

With improved styling resembling that of its bigger siblings, the stylish 2017 Ninja 650 features new components. Built for the street rider who wants the performance of the Ninja family, but with more street-focused ergonomics and control, the Ninja 650 is new with a twin-spar frame and the redesigned, race-proven 650cc parallel twin.

The mid-sized member in the Ninja lineup, the Ninja 650 is built to satisfy the needs of riders who want to step up from a Ninja® 300, but don’t want the high technology, cost and high performance of the Ninja® ZX™-6R.

The Ninja 650 is truly a member of the Ninja family, with a new front cowling that takes styling cues from the Ninja ZX™-10R motorcycle, but with comfortable ergonomics so riders can enjoy this ride for more miles. The Ninja 650 will also be available without ABS.

STYLE

” Racing inspired fairing and bodywork style?
” NEW Sporty front cowling
” NEW X-pattern LED taillight
” NEW Trellis frame and centrally positioned rear shock

The Ninja 650’s new upper cowling fits with the Ninja family identity. The chin spoiler below the headlight emulates the design theme from the Ninja® ZX™-10R. Accompanying the new front cowling is a sharply redesigned headlight.

New mirrors contribute to the stylish look and enhance visibility. Further adding to the sporty look is a X-shaped LED taillight.
