Kawasaki Ninja 650 [2023] Summary
Kawasaki India has launched the 2023 Ninja 650 in our market with improved rider aids and a new price tag. The improved rider aids on the 2023 model include a two-level traction control system that joins the dual-channel ABS technology. Meanwhile, the 2023 version retains an LED headlight, LED taillight, and a Bluetooth-enabled colour TFT display from the previous version.
In terms of styling, the 2023 Ninja 650 gets three colours in the international markets – Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray with Ebony, Pearl Robotic White with Metallic Matte Flat Raw Graystone and Ebony, and KRT edition that uses Lime Green paint with Ebony. The Indian market, however, only gets one colour option – Lime Green. The design remains unchanged, and the 2023 Ninja 650 retains a twin-pod headlight, full-fairing, a muscular fuel tank, a split-style seat, and a compact exhaust canister.
The specifications, too, remain unaltered as the Ninja 650 already complied with the latest emission standards. The 649cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox and it produces 67bhp of maximum output at 8,000rpm and 64Nm of peak torque at 6,700rpm. The hardware comprises 41mm telescopic front forks and a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock to handle the suspension tasks. The braking duties are performed by 300mm dual disc brakes at the front and a 220mm single rotor at the back. The motorcycle is built around a steel trellis frame, boasts a 15-litre fuel tank, and tips the weighing scale at 196kg (kerb).
This Japanese motorcycle does not have a direct threat. However, it competes in the same price range as the newly launched Moto Morini X-Cape and Seiemmezzo.

My second bike coming up from a 200cc bike. The ninja 650 is the perfect upgrade to do it all - commuting, touring and taking to the track (maybe not off-roading). It provides you the commuting within the city, or the comfort of cruising over 120kmph all day long without breaking any sweat, but also has ample power to bring a smile to your face when twisting that throttle. The engine & the gearbox are silky smooth and have always performed well even during extended riding. The service costs seem quite appropriate, and the argument of lower maintenance costs by honda, suzuki or yamaha etc. Doesn't hold much relevance, since either they don't have any bikes in the same segment in India, or it's way too overpriced (e.G. Honda cbr 650r costs rs.935441 ex-showroom vs the ninja 650 being 7.12 lakh INR ex-showroom, it although it both bikes are vastly different in their power & engine classes).
