The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 continues to be one of the most balanced middleweight sport bikes in India. Priced at Rs 7.77 lakh (ex-showroom), it remains a strong choice for those who are stepping up from
smaller capacity motorcycles.
At its core lies a 649cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke parallel-twin engine, a configuration Kawasaki has refined over the years for smooth power delivery and strong mid-range punch. The motor produces 68 hp at 8,000 rpm and 64 Nm of torque at 6,700 rpm, paired with a slick-shifting 6-speed gearbox. The Ninja 650 can achieve a top speed of 212 km/h. Kawasaki claims an ARAI-certified mileage of 21 km/l for this sports bike.

Underneath, the Ninja 650 uses a lightweight trellis frame made from high-tensile steel. This chassis setup not only aids stability at high speeds but also contributes to the bike’s neutral handling characteristics. The suspension system features a 41 mm telescopic fork up front with 125 mm of travel, and a Horizontal Back-link rear shock offering 130 mm of travel.
Braking duties are handled by dual 300 mm front discs with dual-piston callipers and a single 220 mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper. The braking setup offers confident stopping power, complemented by ABS as standard. Tyre sizes are 120/70 ZR17 at the front and 160/60 ZR17 at the rear, both mounted on stylish alloy wheels, ensuring excellent road grip and stability during aggressive cornering or sudden braking.

Dimensionally, the Ninja 650 measures 2,115 mm in length, 740 mm in width, and 1,145 mm in height. It has a 1,410 mm wheelbase and a 130 mm ground clearance, which helps it tackle Indian road conditions without scraping the underbelly. The 15-litre fuel tank offers a practical touring range, while the 790 mm seat height makes it accessible. At 196 kg curb weight, it feels manageable even for shorter or less experienced riders.
