EICMA 2019: 2020 Kawasaki Z650 Unveiled

Kawasaki has unveiled the 2020 Kawasaki Z650 at the EICMA 2019 motorcycle show and the new model now gets sharper styling which is in-line with models higher in the range. That said, under the skin the new motorcycle remains identical to its predecessor. Among the most prominent changes is the new LED headlamp, headlamp cowl and sharper looking tank shrouds. Since the Kawasaki Z650 remains unchanged mechanically, you get the same right-side up non-adjustable forks upfront and dual 300 mm disc brakes, but it has seen the addition of new rider assistance tech.

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
