Kawasaki has launched the Z650 S in the Japanese market for the first time. The 649cc parallel-twin wears the SUGOMI design language and is tuned for usable torque between 3,000-6,000rpm. It comes standard with KTRC traction control and the KQS quickshifter, plus a 4.3-inch TFT display linked to the RIDEOLOGY app. Priced at ¥1,078,000.

My heart rate spiked reading the spec sheet. The 649cc parallel-twin carries over, but they made KQS and KTRC standard equipment, and that's what gets me. Compared to the old Z650, the chassis feel is clearly a step up. At ¥1,078,000 with this kit, it feels like a genuinely justified price.
