2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 & 650 KRT Edition
Contents
The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 has been in production since 2006, although back then it was known as the 650R. Powered by a 649 cc DOHC parallel twin engine, the 650 produces 67 crank HP and 49 lbs-ft of crank torque. Much like its larger brother, the 1000 SX, the 650 is rated as both a sport bike and a sport tourer.
The 650 comes in 4 variations, the base 650, the 650 KRT Edition, the 650 ABS, and the 650 ABS KRT Edition. All four bikes share the same trellis steel frame, engine, power, and driver aids with the exception of the KRT editions having the Kawasaki Racing Team colors and decals, and the ABS models coming with ABS. As well, in Canada, only the ABS versions are available.
The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS starts at $7,799 US/$8,699 CA, with the non-ABS at $7,399 US, and the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS KRT Edition starts at $7,999 US/$8,899 CA, with the non-ABS at $7,599 US
