The Kawasaki Z650 replaced the ER-6n in 2017. It uses the 649cc parallel twin from the Ninja 650 in a light steel trellis frame, giving it easy, accessible performance with Kawasaki's aggressive Z styling.
Its low seat and light weight make it popular with new riders and A2 licence holders, who can buy a restricted version. Updates added a TFT dash, smartphone connectivity and traction control. Rivals include the Yamaha MT-07, Suzuki SV650 and Honda CB650R.
