Kawasaki has unveiled the 2023 iterations of its motorcycles for the international markets. The list of updated models comprises the company’s middleweight Ninja 650 sports tourer and the Z650 roadster.

The changes to the 2023 models include styling revisions in the form of new colour options. The 2023 Ninja 650 is available in three colours now, namely 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 2023 Z650, on the other hand, is listed in two colours – Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray with Ebony and Metallic Spark Black with Metallic Flat Spark Black.

Apart from the styling updates, the 2023 iterations of the motorcycles also benefit from a two-level traction control system. Meanwhile, the design and mechanical specifications remain unaltered. Thus, both motorcycles continue to pack LED headlight, Bluetooth-enabled colour TFT display, and dual-channel ABS. The mechanical specifications on these motorcycles include a 649cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that makes 67bhp at 8,000rpm and 64Nm of peak torque at 6,700rpm.

The Indian launch details about the 2023 Ninja 650 and Z650 are not available yet. But we may see the updated models in our markets in early 2023.
