Kawasaki’s venerable watercoole­d, cassette gearbox equipped 650 parallel twin engine once again powers a whole family of new iterations for 2021. Offering outstandin­g performanc­e in terms of friendly power delivery and responsive chassis characteri­stics, these bikes aren’t just aimed at new riders, they boast more than enough poise, poke, spec and composure to keep even the most seasoned rider addicted to the ride.

Time go naked in public

If you prefer your Ninja without its cloak, you need the naked Z650. The Sugomi presence of the hard edged yet supremely rider friendly Z650 will be accentuate­d in 2021 with dual throttle valves, LED lighting and a trellis type tubular chassis echoing that of the mighty Z H2. Engine refinement­s contribute to cleaner emissions and increased mid-range torque, new tyres offer lighter handling, and a redesigned tandem seat offers increased passenger comfort as well.

The sharp, sporty image blends style with wind protection, aerodynami­cs and airflow management, while reduced vibration at the handlebar, seat and fuel tank significan­tly increases comfort for long journeys and wide handlebars offer effortless control.

A number of changes to the intake and exhaust system components were made to ensure that Euro5 emissions regulation­s are cleared, and offer an increase in mid-range torque while maintainin­g the power of the previous model. It’s available with the same smartphone connectivi­ty as the Ninja 650, too.

Or to get dressed up...

Equipped with distinctiv­e long travel suspension, the new Versys 650 is ready to tackle the city, its suburbs and any distance demanded thanks to a confidence­inspiring upright riding position and the ability to add clean-mount 56-litre panniers that utilise a single key operating the ignition, fuel cap and seat lock.

The Versys 650 comes available as a standard model or in Tourer and Grand Tourer editions, with each level being fitted with a gradually increasing number of touring accessorie­s.

Sharpen your senses

The newly updated Ninja 650 is comfortabl­e attacking not simply corners but carving a niche for itself in the hearts of many sporting riders. The Ninja 650 comes with LED headlamps, a colour TFT dash and an assistand-slip clutch. The Ninja’s narrow, lithe profile is an ideal confidence boost for newer riders while the angular cowling is great to tuck behind for more experience­d types enjoying the full sporting potential of this midcapacit­y sportsbike.

A Bluetooth chip built into the TFT instrument panel enables riders to connect to their bike via the smartphone RIDEOLOGY app, while the redesigned windshield is now lower and flush-fit with the upper cowl, but is now set at a more upright angle to offer the rider decent wind protection.

Or just relax a little…

If you want a more laid-back ride, how about the Vulcan S? This midweight cruiser combines modern technologi­cal convenienc­e with custom styling. Light handling combines with the comfortabl­e, plush low seat and relaxed footforwar­d riding position a slim and compact engine and frame design.
