Kawasaki’s 650cc-class twins come in a wide range of shapes and styles – from full-cowling Ninja sports and Z Supernaked models, to Versys adventure-style and Vulcan cruiser-style machines. The newest member of the 650 club is a colossal combination of retro styling taking modern cues, the all New Z650RS will attract all retro lovers, who are waiting for new evolution – The Retrovolution.
The Z650RS has a fun and easy character and features a parallel-twin 649cc engine, lightweight trellis frame, telescopic front fork and horizontal back-link rear suspension, dual-dial instrumentation with multi-function LCD screen, round LED headlight, spoke-style cast wheels, disc brakes with standard ABS, assist and slipper clutch, and a relaxed retro-style riding position. Distinguishing itself from its bigger Kawasaki Z900RS sibling is a slimmer fuel tank and a shorter, more compact tail. The system looks at several parameters to get an accurate, real-time picture and allows riders to select between two Kawasaki traction control modes to suit their riding situation and preference.
Mode 1, is the least intrusive, helping to manage traction during cornering and designed with sport riding in mind. This mode facilitates acceleration out of corners by maximizing forward drive from the rear wheel.
Mode 2, intervention occurs earlier, meaning when excessive wheel spin is detected the engine output is reduced to allow grip to be regained. This helps riders navigate wet pavement or bad stretches of road.
