Handling & Ergonomics
- RIDER AND MACHINE BECOME ONE: Everything built in and around the lightweight chassis of the new Z650 naked sportbike is designed to become an extension of the rider.
- HANDLING: Both clutch and brake levers are 5-way adjustable to accommodate a variety of hand sizes for added comfort.
- HANDLING: Telescopic front fork is a part of a balanced suspension package that's tuned to provide progressive damping with a high level of feedback to the rider and responsive performance.
- HANDLING: The overall light weight* of the Z650 comes thanks to a lightweight trellis chassis with a low center of gravity for light handling and confident low speed maneuverability. *The Z650 is a significant 44.1 lb. lighter than its European counterpart. This results in lighter and more responsive handling for the Z650.
- HANDLING: Horizontal back-liner rear suspension offers progressive damping for an ideal balance of sport riding performance and casual riding comfort.
- HANDLING: Unique gull-arm style swingarm provides space for under-engine exhaust for low center of gravity and improved handling.
- ERGONOMICS: Wide handlebar contributes to easy low-speed maneuvering and leverage for higher-speed cornering.
- ERGONOMICS: Upright seating provides a commanding ride position, giving the rider heads-up visibility and a confident, connected riding experience.
- ERGONOMICS: Low seat height and tapered seat shape for easy foot placement at stops. Seat shape is wider at the rear for added comfort and cornering leverage.
- ERGONOMICS: Footpeg position offers a relaxed knee bend for rider comfort.
Power & Performance
- SPORTY ENGINE PERFORMANCE: Raw power comes from a modern parallel-twin 649 cc engine that packs strong torque and strong mid-range acceleration well suited for sporty riding.
- ASSIST & SLIPPER CLUTCH: A light pull at the lever (assist) and smooth shifting enables confident downshifts with minimal rear wheel chatter (slipper).
Z Styling
- AGGRESSIVE Z STYLING: A bold front face. Minimalist bodywork. Technical styling. Make no mistake - this is the new Z650 naked sportbike.
- FIERCE, PREDATOR-LIKE POSTURE: Edgy, minimalist bodywork inspired by Sugomi™, a design featuring elegant flowing bodywork and minimalist cover in order to draw attention to functional beauty.
- SEAMLESSLY–INTEGRATED FRONT COWL, WINDSCREEN AND METER: Turn heads with clean, precise design. Built with symmetry and balance in mind.
- SHARP Z PATTERN LED TAILLIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT: Lights up to deliver a bold statement.
- EXPOSED TRELLIS FRAME: Adds to the technical and lightweight image.
- COMPACT MULTI–FUNCTION INSTRUMENTATION: Stacked instrument cluster features an analog tachometer and multi-function LCD screen with gear position indicator.
