Kawasaki has updated its Z650 for 2020

A mild facelift, some specification upgrades and a few technical changes denote the latest version of Kawasaki’s mid-size Z650.

While the steel trellis frame remains the same, the headlight cowling has been redesigned and the pillion seat is wider with deeper padding. In addition, the bike gains a new instrument binnacle that incorporates a 4.3” colour TFT screen and Bluetooth connectivity.

To complete the revised look, the mechanical bits have been given an all-black finish and there are three fresh paint schemes to choose from: Metallic Spark Black, Candy Lime Green / Metallic Spark Black or Pearl Blizzard White / Metallic Spark Black.

The powertrain still comprises a 649 cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine and a six-speed gearbox. However, thanks to modified intake and exhaust systems, the Z650 now complies with Euro5 emissions standards. Output and peak torque are rated at 67 bhp (50 kW / 68 PS) and 64 Nm (47 lb/ft) respectively.

Sales of the 2020 model are due to begin in January next year. A UK price has yet to be announced.
