Design

In terms of design, it is clearly visible that the Kawasaki Z650RS MY24 is a neo-retro motorcycle and takes a lot of design cues from the original Kawasaki Z650-B1 from the 1970s. Despite the looks, the Kawasaki Z650RS motorcycle is based on the Kawasaki Z650.

Some of the 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 stubby underbelly exhaust system.
