Kawasaki Ninja 650 Review
Detailed Review by Maxabout Team
Overview
India Kawasaki Motors is a subsidiary of Kawasaki Motors Limited Japan and they started their Indian journey with the launch of Ninja 250 and Ninja 650 in 2009. But their modern bikes for the Indian market didn’t come around until 2011 as the Ninja 650R. The R suffix was dropped with time and the ergonomics have gone from all out sports tourers to more comfort oriented bikes with mechanical advancements as well. With the latest addition to the Kawasaki brand, they are not just focusing on the performance but also paying heed to the efficiency and the economy the machines could provide without losing their essence.
Kawasaki Ninja 650 Design and Style
The 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 650 has followed the same style language, but there are some minor changes and additions to make the bike more attractive to the buyers. The new LED headlights, each featuring a low and high beams and a position lamp, provide increased brightness. Improved and redesigned windshield adding to the sportier appearance is lower and flush-fit with the cowl set at a more upright angle to provide better wind protection. It has got a prominent Ninja 650 logo inked all across the fairing with honeycomb graphics. The latest Ninja appears even sharper and sportier than all the existing members of the Ninja family. New Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres contribute to its better handling character and stronger appearance. In line with the new BS6 emission norms, they made various changes to the intake and exhaust system and offered an increase in the mid-range torque while maintaining the power similar to its predecessor.
Kawasaki Ninja 650 Engine and Gearbox
The Ninja comes equipped with a BS6-compliant 649cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke parallel twin, DOHC, 8-valves engine with a compression ratio of 10:8:1 and bore diameter of 83mm and stroke distance of 60mm. It generates a maximum power of 68 HP @ 8000 rpm and a maximum torque of 64 Nm @ 6700 rpm. The 650cc engine is coupled with a 6-speed return transmission with forced semi-dry sump lubrication.
Kawasaki Ninja 650 Suspension, Brakes and Tyres
The frame used for the new Ninja 650 is a Trellis high-tensile steel chassis and the front suspension is 41mm telescopic forks and the rear suspension is handled by a horizontal back-link with adjustable preload mono-shock with 125mm front and 130mm rear wheel travel. The braking duties are handled by the 300mm dual semi-floating petal discs with dual piston calliper in the front and 220mm single petal disc single piston calliper in the rear and are aided by the dual-channel ABS. As for the tires, it comes with Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2, tubeless tires with 17-inch alloy wheels of 120/70-ZR17 M/C (58W) front tire section and 160/60-ZR17 M/C (69W) rear tire section.
Instrument Console of Kawasaki Ninja 650
2023 Ninja 650 gets an all digital 4.3-inch TFT colour instrument console for the first time in their 650cc class, that displays Speedometer, Tachometer, Tripmeter, Odometer, Clock, Fuel gauge, LED light and gear indicator. The new instrument console gives it a high-tech premium appearance and also provides additional features that were unavailable in the previous versions. New Ninja 650 also is installed with bluetooth and can connect to smartphones, but not much has been offered in terms of functions. The Rideology app can connect to the bike using an Android or iOS and it makes a handful of functions accessible.
Key Features of Kawasaki Ninja 650
2023 Kawasaki Ninja 650 key features include an all-digital console, LED headlight and taillight, AHO (Automatic Headlight On), smartphone connectivity, powerful engine, and new Dunlop Sportmax tyres and Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC). Comfort features include electric start, pillion foot rest, step-up/split seat and engine kill switch.
Top Speed and Mileage of Kawasaki Ninja 650
2023 Ninja 650 can reach the top speed of 212 kmph (speedo-indicated) and has a mileage of 22 kmpl approximately. In terms of performance, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 can reach 0 to 100 kmph in around 4.65 seconds.
Kawasaki Ninja 650 Colour Options
The new 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is available in one colour scheme only; the Lime Green
Kawasaki Ninja 650 Competitors
Benelli TNT 600i, Honda CBR650R, Suzuki GSX-S750, CF Moto 650GT, Triumph Trident 660, and Kawasaki Z650 could be considered some of the rivals to the 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 650.
Conclusion
Kawasaki is one of the best automakers in the world and rightfully so, their machines are well planned and researched, especially the Ninja series. The 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is provided with good looks, Dual-channel ABS, advanced tech, solid build quality, and a powerful engine and it also provides a good value for the money you're going to put into it. Obviously, it is not a product with no cons and no such product can ever exist, so if you’re okay with the mileage and pillion seat positioning and some other features that they missed in this version then this is definitely the bike for you.

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.

AWARNESS FOR BIKERS. JUST FOLLOW THIS FOR SAFE AND HAPPY RIDING............
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
---------------------------
List of cruiser bikes in india
Royal enfield bullet
Bajaj enticer
List of bikes in india that are both commuter and also like tourer.
Hero honda karizma 2003 till 2013 ( not the new Hero karizma, it lacks comfort)

hero hunk, cbz (wow what a comfort)
honda unicorn, trigger (bit slow in performance)
suzuki gs150r (wow what a comfort)
List of bikes in india that have the sports bike performance and are also occasional tourer.

KTM duke
pulsar 200NS
yamaha fz16, fzs
suzuki gixer
Other higher end bikes are still not launched in India, but are available abroad.
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

This is truly a beast!!!!!!!!
pro biking dealers taking minimum of 75 days to deleiver ty bike...650r
How many days it will take to deliver ninja650r in vijayawada anybody tell me quickly.
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
