Description:
Kawasaki focused their design staff on creating a light, compact motorcycle that is incredibly fun to ride. Everything about this motorcycle is meant to contribute to rider control of the motorcycle, from the low seat height, to the incredibly compact engine design. The 650 cc twin cylinder engine provides excellent power and torque throughout the powerband, contributing to this motorcycles "fun" quotient.
This motorcycle rental features a very aggressive headlight design, an aerodynamic windscreen and full fairing, and front turn signals integrated into the faring. The flowing bodywork includes a slim tail cowl with flush-surface tail lamp lens giving the new NINJA 650R a slim, agile appearance from the rear.
Technical Points:
- Triangular layout of the crankshaft and transmission shafts make the engine very short, front-to-back. Tuned to deliver smooth, responsive power in the low-to mid-rpm range with exceptional roll-on response for negotiating city traffic.
- Under-engine muffler improves mass centralization and lowers the 650R center of gravity
- Bringing the motorcycle to a stop is handled by triple petal disc brakes that look as good as they perform. And the attractive six-spoke supersport-style wheels give the 650R a “light” look while reducing unsprung weight.
- Parallel twin engine is the most compact in its category. The engine is considerably smaller than that of the Ninja 500 and helps reduce the dimension of the entire motorcycle.
- Low, narrow seat combined with the slim overall design allows riders to firmly plant both feet on the ground when stopped.
- Stylish full fairing with aerodynamic windscreen cuts through the wind and helps protect the rider.
