KAWASAKI Ninja 650 ABS (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2015, Kawasaki launched the Ninja 650 ABS, a middleweight motorcycle powered by a parallel-twin engine, dressed in a modern style bodywork inspired by its bigger siblings with advanced features that made the bike a real head-turner.

For 2015, Kawasaki released the bike with three color schemes available, such as Candy Lime Green with Metallic Flat Spark Black, Metallic Spark Black with Metallic Flat Spark Black, and Pearl Flat Stardust White with Metallic Flat Spark Black.

The bike featured a slim, low, and lightweight perimeter frame that wrapped around the engine for optimum rigidity, dressed in a sharp, stylish bodywork similar to the ZX-14R, and featured great engine-heat dissipation.

As for ergonomics, the bike featured a wide handlebar, a two-piece seat, and footpegs that offered a comfortable and upright seating position complemented by a backbone-type subframe with a narrow design that provided a low seating position and a good reach to the ground.

In addition, the bike packed a three-way adjustable windscreen that reduced buffering at high speeds, integrated front turn signals with clear lenses, a sleek tail cowl with an LED taillight, supersport-type mirrors, and six-spoke aluminum wheels with reduced weight for great suspension action.

In the performance department, the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS took its thrust from a 649cc four-stroke parallel twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 72 hp with a peak at 8,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,000 rpm.
