Kawasaki revamped the Ninja 650 in order
to make it a better sportbike for the street with increased looks and
comfort. In order to do this, engineers made wide-sweeping changes all
the way down to its name, which is no longer the 650R.
The biggest change is an all-new
double-pipe perimeter frame instead of the single-pipe. Engineers didn’t
want to change the geometry of the frame, which is identical, but this
allows the chassis to have more rigidity balance.
This sportbike features a raft of new
technology and design elements, including a totally new perimeter-style
frame, revised suspension, new instrumentation, improved engine
performance, a more comfortable saddle, lower seat height and much more.
