# Kawasaki Z650 S launched in India at Rs 7.59 lakh 2026-11-04T09:19:37+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Kawasaki has launched the 2027 Z650 S in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 7.59 lakh, Rs 33,000 more than the standard Z650 (Rs 7.26 lakh). The new variant gets revised bodywork, a new headlamp and tail section, and aluminium styling accents. It is offered only in Pearl Blizzard White/Candy Lime Green. Features include a 4.3-inch TFT display that pairs with the Rideology app, dual-channel ABS, and Kawasaki Traction Control. A Kawasaki Quick Shifter is sold separately. The 649cc parallel-twin engine produces 67 hp at 8,000 rpm and 64 Nm at 6,700 rpm, mated to a six-speed gearbox. Brake discs are now smaller: 272 mm front (down from 300 mm) and 186 mm rear (down from 220 mm). The bike weighs 193 kg, 5 kg more than the standard Z650. Deliveries have started across India. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Rs 7.59 lakh Z650 S positions a premium variant Rs 33,000 above the standard Z650, targeting buyers who want a sportier street look without moving to a larger engine. A 193 kg kerb weight (5 kg heavier than the standard), reduced brake disc sizes, and a single colour choice show that the update is cosmetic rather than performance-driven. The optional quick shifter, sold separately, leaves the bike’s handling story incomplete at launch. Deliveries have started, so the market will soon reveal whether the styling premium justifies the price difference. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Leads with price and style upgrades, no stance on government This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
