The updated model, which went on sale on 16 September 2026, is offered in a new Metallic Carbon Gray colour. The engine and mechanical features remain unchanged from the previous version. The bike is powered by a 649cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, parallel-twin engine that produces 68 PS at 8,000 rpm and 64 Nm of torque at 6,700 rpm, mated to a six-speed gearbox. It comes with a Kawasaki Traction Control system offering two modes. The bike weighs 192 kg and has a 12-litre fuel tank. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Kawasaki has refreshed the Z650RS with a new colour for FY2027, keeping the 649cc parallel-twin engine and mechanical hardware unchanged. Buyers drawn to the retro styling and modern safety kit, like the two-mode traction control and slip-and-assist clutch, now get the Metallic Carbon Gray option at Rs 7.83 lakh (ex-showroom). The MY27 update does not address any price or feature shift from the outgoing model, so the 120/70-section front and 160/60-section rear tyres on 17-inch wheels remain standard. Sales in India opened on 16 September 2026. ## Coverage - tv9hindi.com straight product launch report with no government angle This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
