Looking for a big bike that delivers performance without jumping straight to a litre-class machine? Meet the Kawasaki Z650.

With its aggressive streetfighter design, the Z650 packs a 649cc parallel twin engine producing 68 PS and is designed around everyday usability.

The bike is currently priced at around ₹7.26 lakh ex-showroom in India, while the on-road price varies by location.

For riders moving up from smaller motorcycles, a middleweight like the Z650 can offer a useful step toward learning throttle control, braking and handling before moving to more powerful machines.
