India Kawasaki Motor has announced the launch of the Z650 BS6 version in the country. The 2020 Kawasaki Z650 BS6 is priced between Rs. 6.25 lakh and Rs. 6.50 lakh, which makes it about Rs. 56,000 more expensive than the BS4 version that retailed at Rs. 5.69 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom India). The Z650 is the second model in the company's line-up to get BS6 compliance after the Z900, and the updated models will start arriving by January next year.

The 2020 Kawasaki Z650 BS6 will be available in Metallic Spark Black colour

The 2020 Kawasaki Z650 continues to carry the same Sugomi styling as seen on the current model, but gets new LED headlamps, a 4.3-inch TFT screen for the instrument console with smartphone Bluetooth connectivity via the Rideology mobile app. The middleweight street naked now rides on Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres replacing the Sportmax D214 tyres.

Mechanically, the BS6 compliant Kawasaki Z650 draws power from the 649 cc twin-cylinder engine that belts out 67 bhp, while torque figures are marginally low, from  65.7 Nm at 6500 rpm to 64 Nm at 6700 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Interestingly, the Z650 BS6 is also lighter than the BS4 model by three kilos and has a kerb weight of 186 kg. The motorcycle will be available in Metallic Spark Black colour when it hits showrooms next year. In terms of competition, the Kawasaki Z650 locks horns against the CFMoto 650 NK, Benelli TNT 600i and even the Leoncino 500.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. 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.
