The Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT edition does not get any mechanical updates. The motorcycle draws power from a 649cc liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine producing 67bhp and 65.7Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch for smooth downshifts.

The 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650 is based on the new lighter frame which makes it 22kg lighter than the previous model. The reduction in weight translates to improved low and mid-range performance.

Apart from the new colour, the KRT edition is identical to the regular model. Bringing the Ninja 650 to a halt are the 300mm dual discs at the front and 220mm disc at the rear. ABS is offered as standard equipment. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and monoshock suspension at the rear.
