Kawasaki Ninja 650 Review
Overview
The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is a versatile sport touring motorcycle that continues to captivate enthusiasts with its blend of style, performance, and practicality. Launched with a fresh color scheme and minor updates, this bike remains a strong contender in the 650cc segment. Here's a comprehensive look at the features, specifications, and appeal of the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650:
The Kawasaki Ninja 650 has long been a staple in the middleweight sports bike category, renowned for its versatility and accessibility to both new and experienced riders. The 2025 model builds upon this legacy with a new aesthetic and compliance with stricter emission norms, while maintaining its core strengths.
Design and Features
The design of the Ninja 650 retains its aggressive and sporty appearance, featuring twin LED headlights and a sleek fairing design that aligns with Kawasaki's Ninja lineage. For 2025, the Ninja 650 is available in a vibrant new color scheme, offering a bold and dynamic look. Additionally, a Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) edition is available, featuring distinctive decals that evoke the spirit of Kawasaki's racing heritage.
Inside, the Ninja 650 boasts a 4.3-inch digital TFT display that supports Bluetooth connectivity via Kawasaki's Rideology app. This allows riders to access various functions such as call and SMS alerts, music playback, and navigation directly from their smartphone. The bike also features Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), which enhances safety by providing two traction control modes to suit different riding conditions.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the Ninja 650 is a 649cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine. This engine produces 67 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 64 Nm of torque at 6,700 rpm, making it suitable for both city commuting and spirited highway rides. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox featuring a slipper and assist clutch, which helps reduce the effort required for shifting gears and prevents rear wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifting.
Suspension and Braking
The Ninja 650 rides on a 41mm telescopic fork at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear, providing a comfortable ride and responsive handling. The braking system consists of dual 300mm petal-type discs with 2-piston calipers at the front and a single 220mm petal-type disc with a single-piston caliper at the rear, both equipped with dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety.
Dimensions and Capacity
The bike measures 80.9 inches in length, 29.1 inches in width, and 45.1 inches in height, with a seat height of 31.1 inches and a ground clearance of 5.1 inches. It has a wheelbase of 55.5 inches and a curb weight of approximately 423.4 lbs (ABS model). The fuel tank capacity is 4 gallons, providing ample range for long rides.
Pricing and Competition
The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is priced at Rs. 7.27 lakh (ex-showroom), marking an increase of Rs. 11,000 from the previous model. It competes directly with the Triumph Daytona 660, which is priced significantly higher at Rs. 9.72 lakh, and the Honda CBR650R, which offers a four-cylinder engine but at a higher cost.
Conclusion
The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is a well-rounded motorcycle that offers a blend of sporty performance, practicality, and affordability. Its new color scheme and updated features make it an attractive option for riders seeking a fun yet versatile bike for daily commuting and weekend adventures. With its strong engine, comfortable ergonomics, and advanced technology, the Ninja 650 continues to be a compelling choice in the middleweight sports bike segment.
Future Prospects
As Kawasaki continues to evolve its product lineup, the Ninja 650 remains a key model, appealing to a broad range of riders. Its ability to balance performance with everyday usability makes it a strong contender in the market. With ongoing updates and new color schemes, Kawasaki aims to keep the Ninja 650 fresh and appealing to both new and seasoned enthusiasts.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is a testament to Kawasaki's commitment to delivering motorcycles that combine style, technology, and performance.

User Reviews for Kawasaki Ninja
Plenty of features to make a comfortable and enjoyable ride
The Ninja is a great bike for those of us with bigger frames, but it's not just about that. The comfortable seat, the well-designed tank, the slightly raised bars, and the sculpted seat all combine to create a riding experience that is comfortable and enjoyable. The adjustable front levers give you the ability to customize the bike to your own preferences, and even with my 6 foot 4 frame I had no problems with the legroom.
The Ninja is also incredibly responsive, with the rear brake lever feeling natural and well thought out. The clutch and brake levers were also very easy to operate and the position of them was comfortable.
The Z125 is a great option for those who are taller than 6 foot 1. It's perfect for city riding and the low seat height gives plenty of leg room. It's also comfortable to ride and it's very responsive.
Overall, the Kawasaki Ninja125 is a great bike, with plenty of features to make them comfortable and enjoyable to ride. Whether you're tall or short, the Ninja 125 has something to offer.
The power delivery was smooth and progressive
The Kawasaki Ninja 125 has an impressive power delivery, especially from a standstill. The light clutch lever makes it much easier to manage, and the gears shift into place easily. Despite changing gears often, I never felt fatigued, and I was even able to get a few clutchless upshifts. At higher speeds and revs, there was a noticeable buzz in the mirrors, but it wasn't uncomfortable or overly intrusive. All in all, the power delivery was smooth and progressive, allowing for a comfortable ride even after a long day.
An impressive figure considering the power and performance of the bike
The ARAI certified mileage of the Kawasaki Ninja 125 is 48 kmpl. This is an impressive figure considering the power and performance of the bike. It is also an admirable figure for a bike with such a small capacity engine. The user reported mileage of the Ninja 125 is not available, however, the reviews from Ninja 125 owners suggest that it is quite fuel-efficient. The Ninja 125 is a great option for those who are looking for a powerful bike that is also fuel-efficient. The Kawasaki Ninja 125 comes with a front brake type of disc and a front brake size of 290 mm. It also has a rear brake type of disc, with a rear brake size of 220 mm. The calliper type is a radial caliper and a floating caliper, giving the bike superior braking power. The front tyre size is 100/80 x 17, and the rear tyre size is 130/70 x 17, both of which are tubeless. The bike also has radial tyres, giving it better grip and control. The wheels are alloy, with a front wheel size of 17 inch, and a rear wheel size of 17 inch. The front suspension is a 37 mm telescopic forks, and the rear suspension is a mono-shock, giving the bike better handling.
Fuel tank capacity, not enough to get you to your destination and back with some to spare
The Kawasaki Ninja 125 comes with an 11-litre fuel tank capacity, which is enough to get you to your destination and back with some to spare. The fuel efficiency range is also quite good, with an ARAI-measured mileage of 48 kmpl and an even better top speed of 120 km/h. The acceleration is also quite good, with 0-60 kmph in just 6 seconds and 0-100 kmph in 10 seconds.
The Kawasaki Ninja 125 is a bike that can switc
The Kawasaki Ninja 125 is a bike that can switch between two identities with ease. On one hand, it can be used as a reliable everyday commuter, offering dependable and consistent performance. On the other hand, when ridden aggressively, the Ninja can truly come alive and transform into a beast. Unfortunately, I am not yet skilled enough to take full advantage of the Ninja's full potential, but I can definitely attest to its reliability as a commuter. The Ninja 125 is not meant to be someone's first bike, as it is better suited to those with more experience and a bigger budget. But for those who are willing to take the plunge, the Ninja 125 can be a thrilling and rewarding experience.

Only in india, guys drive all the bikes like sports bike!. What kind of an arrogant attitude is that, yeah i know i seen young guys driving Bullet, bajaj enticer, pulsar, apache , even bajaj discover like sports bikes ( where did these guys get that stupid attitude). This causes lot of accidents (INDIA IS IN NO:2 for the most no of Traffic accidents, No: 1 is china, just check the statistics).
First of all awareness about the bikes in India
-------------------------
List of commuters that are targeted as economy bikes and for mileage (these are not sports bike, if u don't agree check with a bike expert, dont follow your friends who are just showoffs. Because some or many of the expensive bike owners are like just poster boys for their bikes, and do not have a biker attitude. A real biker knows the true essence of his bike.).
All TVS bikes
All current bajaj bikes, till pulsar 220F, except avenger ( Bajaj has promised Pulsar 400cc and a full faired version of pulsar 200ss, to be a true sports bike, lets hope and wait till 2015 end).
All hero bikes except karizma, because karizma is a toure r- check with an expert
All honda bikes in india except CBR 150r and CBR 250r., Above 250cc bikes still fall under different category.
All Yamaha Bikes in india except Yamaha R15 (first sports bike below 200 cc category), FZ series launched in india is a commuter type not a naked street bike like performance like its elder siblings( I like the FZ8 and FZ1, these are cool). Above 250cc bikes still fall under different category.
All suzuki bikes
All mahindra bikes

Well let me give you the best bikes for our Indian road condition, these are based on the following criteria.
Best braking and handling (safety first)
Best suspension system with tourer like comfort seats.
Reasonable power with outright performance
slick and best handling.
1. Honda CBR 250r
2. Karizma (known for being the first Indian bike to be considered as a tourer, except the fact like it lacks best griped tyres (front and rear) and rear disk brakes, but still u can consult a pro biking centre and make these modification).
3. Royal Enfield Bullet (only drawback is it is more heavier)
4. Kawasaki Ninja 400, 650r and ER-6n (waiting for these bikes to be released in india.),
And we have more than 30 to 40 bikes to be release in India, let’s hope the best.
Happy and safe Biking.

Very nic Bike

It looks like an wasp! with its tail cut!!!
For beginers its ok........but for true sports bike lover its just a piece of junk....to the point u get only that much as u spend..............
Good looking, nice performance and good price...
Ninja 650R yent a supersports, so it is cheap. Far more better worth paying for Ninja zx6r costing around 7.5 lakhs. There is much similar riding a cruiser and a sports. But supersports speaks all about performance with thrilling speed.
Ninja 650R's handling is like riding fazer.
Ninja 650R is the cheapest bike in 650cc segment.
Love the looks... 71 Bhp is more than enough... 200+ top speed..... only 1st in india with all new suspension and exhaust..... all 2gether full packed bike but little costly but at the same very aggressive and powerful....
Hysoung is one of the bad choices, better 2 buy cbr 400cc
Realy it is a beautiful bike
Nice bike ..exhaust is very low ....nt practical in rainy days ,whn we r goin thru water blockages....rather..great looks .
Well... this isnt a sports bike, its more like a 'tourer' like fazer... Kawasaki ZX6R on the other hand is a true sports bike with around 120hp.. :D
Ninja 650r is the best in its segment
I for one am not a fan of the Ninja's looks and the twin split headlamps.. Hysoung on other hand is a fresh look.. I guess to each his own
