Besides the standard variant, Kawasaki has also introduced the Ninja 650 KRT Edition, which features the Kawasaki Racing Team’s livery and graphics. Apart from the new paint schemes, the 2025 Ninja 650 remains unaltered mechanically. The motorcycle continues to be powered by a 649cc, parallel-twin motor that makes 67.3bhp at 8,000rpm and 65.76Nm of peak torque at 6,700rpm. The engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch.
The Kawasaki Ninja 650 stands out with its sporty styling that comprises aggressive headlights, muscular tank, layered fairing, and an upswept tail. Feature-wise, it comes packed with a 4.3-inch TFT colour instrument display, LED lighting, and smartphone connectivity. Safety features include a traction control system, three riding modes, and dual-channel ABS.
The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 retails in the US at USD 8,299 for the non-ABS variant and USD 8,899 for the ABS version. The motorcycle is yet to be introduced in India, but once launched, expect it to carry a slight premium over the 2024 model. Currently, it is priced at Rs. 7.16 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.
