Kawasaki Z650RS MY24 Launched In India At Rs 6.99 Lakh – Retro Rocket
Catering to the needs of the growing motorcycle segment in India, Kawasaki launched the MY24 Kawasaki Z650RS motorcycle in the country. This new Kawasaki Z650RS MY24 motorcycle is priced at Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
Speaking about the motorcycle, the Kawasaki Z650RS MY24 is a neo-retro middle-weight motorcycle and takes a lot of design cues from the original Kawasaki Z650-B1 from the 1970s. However, the motorcycle is still based on the Kawasaki Z650.
Interesting design details on the Kawasaki Z650Rs include round headlights with a thick chrome surround, a twin-pod analogue instrument console, a slightly elongated tail section, and a cool-looking under belly exhaust.
Though the Z650RS is a neo-retro motorcycle, it comes with plenty of modern elements that improve the overall visual appeal and overall riding experience such as the slim and clear LED indicator stalks, and the LED headlamp setup.
As mentioned, the Kawasaki Z650RS is based on the Kawasaki Z650. As such, also uses an identical suspension setup with 41mm telescopic forks up front and a horizontal link suspension at the rear that is adjustable for pre-load.
Similarities further extend down to the trellis frame chassis and the 650cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine as well. In terms of numbers, this powertrain in the Z650RS produces 67 bhp and 64Nm of torque.
Compared to the Z650, Kawasaki has made some mechanical changes such as the disc brake setup, where instead of carrying over the dual-petal disc brake setup from the Kawasaki Z650, Kawasaki has opted to use standard rotors on the Kawasaki Z650RS.
Other differences compared to the Z650 include the fully digital instrument console being replaced by a more traditional twin-pod analogue instrument console. However, Kawasaki has added a small LCD between the analogue speedometer and tachometer to display additional information.
