Timeless charm inspired by the 1970s, modern chassis dynamics, and disarming ease of handling.

📦 Quick Facts Box
The Concept: The unmistakable style of legendary past Kawasakis combined with the technology and safety of a modern platform.
The Engine: 649 cc parallel-twin engine, featuring rich low-to-mid-range punch and a standard KTRC traction control system.
The Target: Perfect for everyone, with a dedicated 35 kW version explicitly for A2 license holders.
"Retro Sport" Style: When the Past Meets the Present
The Z650RS's look is an authentic tribute to the icons that shaped motorcycling history in the mid-1970s. The retro-styled fuel tank, featuring a narrow section around the knees, blends seamlessly with the horizontal tail section and classic side panels finished with meticulous attention to detail.
The seamless dialogue between past and present also emerges from the lighting and cockpit: the classic round LED headlight illuminates the road alongside an instrument cluster featuring circular analog-style elements (speedometer and tachometer), integrated with a practical multi-function LCD display.
Agile Chassis and Twin-Cylinder Heart
Beneath the vintage lines beats the same brilliant spirit found in the mid-size Z range. The steel trellis frame weighs a mere 13.5 kg and, combined with a favorable center of gravity and an accessible 820 mm seat height, delivers immediate maneuverability from the very first meters.
The parallel-twin engine ensures a smooth and linear response, ideal both for navigating daily traffic and carving up weekend twisties. Safety is handled by the two-level Kawasaki KTRC traction control system, designed to offer total peace of mind on any road surface. The wheels, while modern alloys, feature flat spokes specially styled to visually evoke the charm of traditional wire-spoked rims.
The New 2027 Colors
For Model Year 2027, Kawasaki has chosen to enrich the Z650RS with high-impact color combinations capable of accentuating the classic lines of the tank and chassis:
Ebony / Bead Bright Silver / Noble Frame Metallic Red
Metallic Ocean Blue / Bead Bright Silver / Wheel Gold-63J
Ebony / Flat Ebony Type2
The offering is rounded out by an extensive catalog of Kawasaki Genuine Accessories—including a seat lowered by 20 mm, a passenger grab handle, and a complete Akrapovic exhaust system—allowing you to tailor the motorcycle precisely to your riding style.
