Japanese motorcycle brand, Kawasaki, has revealed the 2017 Ninja 650 at the ongoing INTERMOT motorcycle show in Germany. The said bike, which is the latest edition of the popular Ninja 650 tourer motorcycle, comes with cosmetic as well as mechanical updates. It gets sharp and aggressive styling, courtesy the design cues inspired from the Ninja ZX-10R. The split-seat design replaces the old single piece one and the seat height for rider has been reduced to 790mm with a narrow front.
Underneath the fairing, the 2017 Ninja 650 is powered by the same 650cc twin-mill motor but is now Euro-4 compliant.
The 2017 Ninja 650 gets a new multi-tubular aluminium chassis that weighs only 15 kg, resulting in an overall weight of 195 kg, which is 19 kg less than its predecessor. Other cycle parts include 41mm telescopic forks at the front and monoshock at the rear which is horizontally mounted above the swingarm. Braking duties are handled by dual discs at the front and a single disc at the rear, which now come with Bosch 9.1 ABS technology.
The 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is available with a choice of three colour schemes - Metallic Spark Black, Blizzard Pearl White and Candy Burnt Orange. Following the launch in the international market, expected the new Ninja 650 to reach Indian shores by mid-2017 with a slight hike in price.
