Kawasaki Ninja 650R 2010

  • Dual headlight design features multi-reflector bulb hoods and the twin position lights — like its Ninja supersport brethren

• A lip at the top of the windscreen deflects air away from the rider, along with a duct in the center of the cowling that creates an “air curtain” to reduce wind buffeting at higher speeds

• Tall fuel tank — especially noticeable when viewed from the side — adds to the bike’s crouching appearance

• A flush-surface fuel cap and its sharp-edged motif give the tank a distinctive look

• Sharp, edged lines give the Ninja 650R an aggressive, crouching supersport look, yet the bodywork still accentuates the frame

• Distinctive Ninja supersport design elements of the front cowling and the fairings, such as the judicious combination of colored and black panels enhance its sporty image and compact appearance

• Integrated front turn signals with clear lenses and amber bulbs

• Completing the bike’s aggressive sport appearance is a sharp tail cowling featuring a thin LED taillight

• Inner rear fender helps keep the underside of the sleek new tail cowl clean

• The turn signals also function as flashing hazard lights

• A long front fender keeps water splashing to a minimum and its two-tone design matches the Ninja 650R’s light, compact theme

• Storage options include four tie-down hooks for baggage or a spare helmet to be secured to the seat and a storage space under the seat with room for a U-lock or similar device

Carefully tuned suspension, triple disc brakes and a curb weight of just 450 pounds give this special motorcycle the sort of performance you expect from a Ninja sportbike.

Fuel-injected Ninja twin-cylinder performance, a beautiful Euro-inspired chassis, and relaxed all-day comfort combine to form the sweet, do-it-all Kawasaki Ninja 650R. Sleek form meets superior function in the bike’s full fairing, and in the way its steel trellis frame integrates into its stylish swingarm via an innovative side-mounted shock.

• Liquid-cooled, DOHC, 8-valve fuel injected twin cylinder delivers smooth, responsive performance, especially in the low to medium rpm range

• Excellent mid-range power, exceptional roll-on response and impressive passing performance make even commuter traffic enjoyable

• Minimal vibration via a 180° crankshaft driven balancer shaft, which in turn drives the water pump

• Oil jets on the connecting rod big ends spray oil on the undersides of the pistons to aid cooling

• Lightweight plug-mounted ignition coils deliver a hot spark and save space

• High-capacity radiator for increased cooling efficiency

• Coolant routing travels directly to the engine cases, then follows internal passages to the cylinder and head for minimum external plumbing and a simplified cooling system
