LEVEL UP

Transform street into playground with the new Z650 S.

Wide, aggressive-looking yet reassuringly rider-friendly, this machine attracts universal attention thanks to its unique Sugomi style and characteristic Z performance. Imbued with sharp styling, a dynamic crouching form plus a distinct and dominant silhouette, Z Supernaked family characteristics are enhanced thanks to elements like aluminum styling accents combined with a wider, more forward-leaning riding position - all delivering a dynamic riding experience coupled with distinctive looks.

Advanced Kawasaki rider-centric technology abounds. Together with the responsive 649cc parallel twin engine, the Z650 S enjoys a perfect balance between sporty performance and all-day ride comfort.

For riders who refuse to compromise, the time has come to Level Up. It’s time for the new Z650 S.
