Kawasaki 650R Ninja review




With its cutting design and astonishing versatility, it is no surprise the Kawasaki 650R Ninja excel in real world riding. Mating sportbike performance levels and a comfortable seating position something rare in the same sentence as sportbike the Kawasaki Ninja 650R is well-suited for slicing through commuter traffic, running errands and hitting the back roads or a track on weekend day. This versatility is good, because the more time a rider spends with the Ninja 650 R, the stronger their desire to just ride for any reason will become. Part of the charm of this sportbike is its design clarity. It blends an innovative engine and chassis into a package that doesnt truly project its intended engineering outcome until the motorcycle a rider is melded into it.

A major component in the achieving the size efficient nature of the 650R Ninja is its compact liquid-cooled, fuelinjected, DOHC, 8 valve 649cc parallel twin engine. Featuring a confidence inspiring power delivery for new motorcyclists, the engine possesses a smooth responsiveness that is tuned for rider-friendly low and medium rpm ranges. The excellent mid-range characteristics make the 650R a natural in commuting environments, and slipping in and out of traffic will be a cinch thanks to its lightweight trellis frame. Power pulses still arrive 180 degrees apart, with a balance shaft timed to counter nasty vibration. Pair of digital fuel injection with 39mm Keihin throttle bodies feed the fire, and a catalytic converter in the muffler scrubs exhaust gases to squeaky-clean Euro3 emission standards. 0ther modifications to the small and yet pushy engine (73 hp and 49.5 lb/ft) consist in moving the cooling fluid from the external hoses and inside the cases as well as adding a new catalyzer which helps Kawasaki stay true to its now consecrated color meets Euro3 regulations.
