Kawasaki Ninja 650 [2016] Summary
Kawasaki’s 650R has been a popular choice in the mid-size sports bike arena ever since its arrival in 2006. Although it isn’t the best of track tool or a full-bore tourer, the 650R is a properly well-rounded machine with sporty yet comfortable ergonomics and forgiving all-weather performance.
Kawasaki India first introduced the 650R back in 2011. The bike garnered instant success thanks to its practical nature and sportscar-rivaling performance. A year later, the Japanese brand launched the revamped 650R featuring a sleeker design, better ergonomics and improved quality.
The revamped model retains the fuel-injected, 649cc parallel twin engine. Known for its linear torque delivery throughout the rev-range, this liquid-cooled four stroke unit puts out around 71bhp of power. Now, the power output figure may sound quite puny in comparison to some of the litre-class superbikes like the ZX-10R, yet the 650R boasts of some serious performance on the road.
With a zero to 100kmph sprint time of well under five seconds and a top speed of around 220kmph, the 650R is anything but slow.
On sale for around Rs 5.15 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune), the 650R makes for a practical big bike. Add Kawasaki’s strong sales and service back up and there is very little which can go wrong.

Ninja truely a warrior i call mine a stallion

I did not have ninja as an option as i was looking at benelli 600i but it was but expensive as bank interest was very high at 13-15 %. At last desperately wanted a 600 cc i went to kawasaki to check 650n as it would be lessor cost but was flooded with offer like bajaj's 8% interest and its new graphics i booked it without test driving it but when i took the delivery it was a feast of torque which is not even close to benelli. Its a great experience when ever i open the throttle and complementing mileage of 20 kmpl within bangalore traffic is incredible its glossy finish and green color is a good head turner. Its a great value for money as compared to any 600 cc segment or its younger brother ninja 300. I can never miss its comfortable seating which most of the street bike don't have.
Pros every thing like easy handling comfort mileage power. It handles like a small bike when needed matches up to the liter-class bikes.
Con is breaking is bit nimble and its tyres do not match up with the power as by which a rider will lack confidence but the new generation ninja has over come the issue. With its racer looks.

Ninja 650 2011 and 2012

Satyen Poojary
Style
the ninja 650, 2011 version looks nice and poised. The 2012 version is more meaner and uses the new metalic color scheme instead. Personally, i like the 2011 version of the styling more.
Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox
the engine on the 2012 version is retuned to make for a comfortable riding experience. The torque delivery is extremely linear as compared to the 2011 version which spiked early on, and made in fun in the mid range and has a blank spot around 6000rpm. The gearbox is nice and almost unchanged for both the models
ride quality & handling
the 650 is a very practical bike for the indian market. It can take a lot of abuse, average roads etc. The braking is a sore thumb for the bike however. This can be fixed by using after market brake lines easily available online
final words
at the pricing provided, the ninja 650 is a sweet deal with reliability and service on focus
areas of improvement
braking. Light spread. After sale support in terms of parts availability and cost
pros
comfort, torque
cons
braking, lights
