Indian Kawasaki Motors has launched the Kawasaki
Ninja 650 KRT Edition in the country at a price of INR 5.49 lakhs, ex-showroom.
KRT stands for Kawasaki Racing Team, and the motorcycle comes with special KRT
livery which makes it stand apart from the rest of the models.
The motorcycle employs a 649 cc parallel twin DOHC
engine with liquid cooling. The powerplant is capable of generating 68 PS of
power at 8,000 rpm, and 65.7 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Working in unison with
the engine is a 6-speed gearbox.
A 41 mm telescopic front fork and a rear horizontal
back-link with adjustable preload hold the high tensile steel trellis frame. 300
mm petal discs at the front and a single 220 mm rear disc handle the braking
responsibility. The brakes come with ABS as standard. The motorcycle weighs 196
kg, kerb, and the fuel tank can hold 15 litres of juice.
The motorcycle is available in Lime Green colour and
will enter the Kawasaki dealerships from mid-November onwards. The bike’s
primary rival in the segment is the Honda CBR650F, which was updated recently.
