Z 50TH ANNIVERSARY
Z650 50TH ANNIVERSARY
Kawasaki celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic Z motorcycle with the 50th Anniversary Edition of the Z650. The "Firecracker Red" paint scheme, similar to that of the 1981 Z flagship Z1100GP that pushed the limits of air-cooled high performance makes its return.
This limited-production model features unique anniversary edition styling and comes with a special coffee table book commemorating 50 years of the Z brand.
POWER & PERFORMANCE
Sporty Engine Performance
Raw power comes from a modern parallel-twin 649cc engine that packs strong torque and strong mid-range acceleration well suited for sport riding.
POWER & PERFORMANCE
Assist & Slipper
An Assist and Slipper clutch provides a lighter feel at the lever and a back-torque limiting function that helps prevent rear-wheel hop during more aggressive downshifts.

Z STYLING
AGGRESSIVE & MINIMALIST
Featuring Sugomi™-inspired styling, the Z650 motorcycle boasts a strong appearance with a bold front face, minimalist bodywork and a sharp design.
HANDLING
Responsive & Balanced
The unique gull-arm style swingarm provides space for an under-engine exhaust for a lower center of gravity and improved handling. A horizontal back-link rear suspension offers an ideal balance of sport-riding performance and casual riding comfort. The telescopic front fork is a part of a balanced suspension package, tuned to provide progressive damping with a high level of feedback to the rider.
HANDLING
Fully Adjustable
For added comfort, both clutch and brake levers are 5-way adjustable to accommodate a variety of hand sizes.
HANDLING
Lightweight & Capable
The overall light weight of the Z650 motorcycle comes thanks to a lightweight trellis frame with a low center of gravity for light handling and confident low-speed maneuvering.
HANDLING
Extreme Grip
Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires—made of high-performance rubber—boost handling and provide optimum grip.

HANDLING
RIDER AND MACHINE BECOME ONE
Everything built in and around the lightweight chassis of the Z650 motorcycle is designed to become an extension of the rider.
ERGONOMICS
Ride Confidently
Low seat height and tapered seat shape create easy foot placement at stops while the upright seating provides a commanding ride position, giving the rider heads-up visibility for a confident riding experience. Superior riding comfort extends to the passenger with thicker urethane and wide sides for increased padding and support.
ERGONOMICS
Comfortable Positioning
A thoughtful footpeg position offers a relaxed knee bend for rider comfort.
ERGONOMICS
Easy Maneuverability
A wide handlebar contributes to easy low-speed maneuvering and better leverage for higher-speed cornering.

ERGONOMICS
FEEL CONNECTED
Ergonomics have a big influence on agile handling. The rider triangle places the rider “in” rather than “on top of” the bike for a feeling of confident connected handling.
