Kawasaki Launches 2026 Ninja 650 In India With New Paint Scheme
Kawasaki has launched the new 2026 Ninja 650 in India, and the updated model costs ₹14,000 more than the outgoing version. The new Ninja 650 now gets a fresh colour scheme, while the rest of the motorcycle remains unchanged.
2026 Kawasaki Ninja 650 New Update
The new Ninja 650 features a striking Lime Green colour option. It continues to have the same twin LED headlamps, the large aerodynamic front windshield, sharp Ninja styling, sporty split seats, a muscular fuel tank, a fully faired design, wider sporty mirrors, and Kawasaki's signature racing livery.
Same Powertrain
Kawasaki has retained the same powertrain in the updated model. It is powered by a 649cc, parallel-twin, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that produces 68 PS at 8,000 rpm and 62.1 Nm at 6,700 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox with return shift.
Exclusive features
The Japanese manufacturer continues to offer premium exclusive features such as 2-Mode KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control), smartphone connectivity via the Rideology App, a 4.3-inch TFT colour instrument cluster, assist and slipper clutch, dual throttle valves, and dual-channel ABS.
Premium build
The Ninja 650 is built on a high-tensile steel trellis frame. It features a 41mm telescopic fork at the front and a horizontal back-link monoshock at the rear. For braking, it gets 300mm dual semi-floating petal discs at the front and a 220mm single petal disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres.
Our take on the 2026 Ninja 650
Apart from the new colour, the 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 650 hasn't received major changes, which may disappoint some enthusiasts. However, it remains one of the best value-for-money middleweight motorcycles, offering strong performance and a rich feature list.
The 2025 Ninja 650 was priced at ₹7.77 lakh (ex-showroom), while the new 2026 model commands an additional ₹14,000, now sold at ₹7.91 lakh (ex-showroom). It rivals the Honda CBR 650R, Triumph Daytona 660, and Aprilia Tuono 660.
