1. The Kawasaki nin-ja 650’s powerplant has been redeveloped for 2017. No, the 649cc parallel twin is not a newly developed engine. That isn’t a bad thing, as Kawasaki claims that it is the company’s most reliable platform. Notable updates include new 36mm throttle bodies & narrower intake ports, reduced valve timing overlap, and updated fuel injection systems, plus a new exhaust that eliminates the cross-over and is lengthened for more mid-range power. Aside from that, a new airbox was introduced that offers a wonderful induction howl when the engine is pushed.2. This is a motor that works for all kinds of riding and riders. New riders will appreciate the flawless fueling, and tractable nature, while more experienced riders will be happy lớn know that the entire rev-range can be utilized. This year, Kawasaki has focused on bringing out low-end & mid-range power, meaning that the claimed 48.5 ft/lbs of torque is available at 6500 rpm. Suitable for many conditions, riders get an almost docile feel from the ninja 650 below 5000 rpm, which is great for cruising about town. Should you choose khổng lồ crack the throttle, the ninja 650 will let loose a grin-inducing snarl và make quick work of the twisties, or better yet, the track.3. Throwing a leg over the 2017 ninja 650, you’ll be met with an amicable riding position. Not as demanding as a supersport, the ninja 650 offers a riding experience that leans towards sport riding, without sacrificing comfort. This year, the handlebar position, as well as rear-sets have not only been lowered, but moved slightly forward. In all, those geometric changes encourage a much more sporting stance. Movement isn’t impeded and, when shifting positions, the sculpted tank makes for a perfect anchor.4. Handling isn’t a worry, as the 2017 Kawasaki ninja 650 is stellar. Featuring a 55.5-inch wheelbase, and a fairly aggressive 24 degrees of rake, the ninja 650 is a remarkably agile machine. Requiring little input, riders will most likely appreciate how compliant, and forgiving the new nin-ja is. Whether you’re gallivanting around the city, or headed out into the canyons, the nin-ja 650 can handle it with ease.5. Sporting suspension doesn’t need khổng lồ be harsh. The 41mm KYB forks & the spring-preload adjustable shock are sprung on the light side. Dealing with harsh, bumpy roads is a breeze & certainly won’t send a shock into the rider’s spine. Though non-adjustable, the factory-determined compression & rebound damping setting provide stability when cornering khổng lồ an already solid platform. However, due to lớn the light spring-rate, aggressive braking will dive the forks.6. The nin-ja lost a claimed 42 pounds. Kawasaki engineers worked hard to shed weight within the ninja 650 platform. Between new wheel assemblies, a new swing-arm, chassis, & various other components; the team at Kawasaki got this bike’s weight to lớn a respectable 426 pounds (ABS version).

7. A lot of attention went into the new trellis frame. Engineers not only shed roughly 18 pounds from the Ninja’s chassis, but worked khổng lồ disperse bao tay appropriately. The result is a chassis that doesn’t become unsteady easily, which is an aspect that riders of all skill levels can appreciate.8. Low seat heights & narrow chassis means accessibility. With a seat height of 31.3 inches, the nin-ja 650 will cater to lớn a wide demographic. At 5’ 10’’, with a 32-inch inseam, I don’t find the ninja 650 khổng lồ be uncomfortable, even though I do get considerable knee bend. If you happen to be taller, Kawasaki does offer a riser seat lớn reduce knee & leg discomfort.9. Kawasaki’s Assist & Slipper clutch makes riding easier. Whether you’re an experienced rider, or new to lớn the fold, the Assist & Slipper clutch will help you out when you get a downshift wrong. First, the assist function reduces clutch pull to a relatively effortless point, but the slipper function hinders wheel hop when a downshift has gone wrong. If you don’t match your revs while downshifting, don’t expect the rear wheel khổng lồ lock & send you tumbling.10. Braking is progressive. Owners can expect a confident braking feel from the basic triple-disc setup, without suffering the pangs of an overly aggressive initial bite.11. A completely redesigned dash adds more info. New for this year, the ninja 650 features a fresh look on the dash, but my favorite inclusions happen khổng lồ that of the gear indicator. Of course, you’ll also find handy features like a fuel gauge, but multiple shift indicators as well. When within 500 rpm of your chosen upshift timing, which can be adjusted khổng lồ your liking, the tachometer needle will change to a bright pink and you’ll see the standard shift indicator light flash.12. It might not have clip-ons, but it has plenty of thể thao DNA. The nin-ja lineup has always been dedicated to lớn Kawasaki’s premier thể thao machines.
