The 2020 version of Z650 gets new LED headlight with a redesigned cowl, a 4.3-inch full-colour TFT display, more comfortable pillion seat as well as new Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres. All this for Rs 56,000 to 81,000 extra is plain overkill. Kawasaki should have priced the bike at Rs 6 lakh mark at most.

The bike continues to use the lightweight trellis frame which is hung on 41mm telescopic forks up front and monoshock at the rear end. To haul the bike to zero, there are twin 300mm petal discs at the front and single 220mm disc at the rear. Kawasaki has added only dual-channel ABS as a safety measure and bike doesn’t get any other electronic aids. The weight of the bike is also about 3kg lower than the outgoing model, hence an increased power to weight ratio.
