SATISFYING POWER The dependable fuel-injected 649cc, parallel twin engine powers this light and nimble street motorcycle with its lively performance and smooth acceleration. Tuned to deliver strong, quick-revving power, especially in the low- to mid-range, the engine inspires confidence for daily commuters and provides fun on weekend trips.

ALL-DAY RIDING COMFORT A slim, upright riding position offers maximum comfort for rides of any length. A short-style fuel tank positions the rider closer to the front wheel for increased controllability and offers a greater choice of forward-rearward sitting positions. Complementing the wide handlebar, the footpegs are positioned low and slightly forward of the seat, offering a relaxed position while also enabling sporty riding. The seat’s slim design in addition to the knee grip characteristics of the fuel tank afford freedom of movement, allowing the riders to change sitting position if needed. The stepped shape of the two-piece seat also provides support for the rider when accelerating.

TAKE CONTROL Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) features two modes that allow riders to adjust settings to suit the riding situation and rider preference. Mode 1, the least intrusive, helps to manage traction during cornering. In Mode 2, intervention occurs earlier. When excessive wheel spin is detected, engine output is reduced to allow grip to be regained. Riders may also elect to turn the system OFF.

EVERYDAY FUNCTIONALITY The clean-mount hard saddlebag system, featuring KQR™ mounts, makes mounting and removing the saddlebags quick and easy. The 7.3 gallon saddlebags are well integrated when mounted and the bike looks clean and sharp when the saddlebags are removed. Hand guards offer added wind protection and a 24-month limited warranty helps you ride with confidence.
