Since its inception in 2006, the talented Ninja 650R ® is a member in good faith of this elite group, winning the praise of the owners and the media. But in 2012, is massively redesigned Ninja 650 better than ever.

This practice, running wheel has a number of new technologies and design elements, such as a ring completely new style chassis, revised suspension, body angle, new instrumentation, improved engine performance, a comfortable saddle, lower seat height, and much more. The new version-and-improved mass-promises even more all-round ability, which is suitable for beginners and veterans.

It all starts in the engine compartment, where an advanced, compact, water-cooled vertical twin 649cc works his magic with the help of a digital fuel injection equipped with throttle body 38 mm throttle and subassemblies for optimal response and offer accurate. The engine produces ultra-close of a great power, lots of character - especially in the midrange and low - an impressive display of technology, including dual overhead cam eight-valve acts on light. Lightweight pistons operate plated cylinder liners, while a 180-degree crankshaft - along with a balance shaft - maintains a surprising level of refinement of the engine.

It has always been an engine of great street bike - torquey, smooth, and blessed with an impressive top end, but still enough punch to meet low-and mid-range for novices and experts please . But this year is even better thanks to the key changes of the exhaust system including a tube connector section header and muffler design of three bedrooms. The rush to the rear at high speed, but the Kawasaki engineers have pushed the extra power in the midrange area, causing even more around simplicity of use and responsiveness in the city. Included in the Ninja 650 engine estimated at 50 mpg fuel economy *, precise injection and twin cans nice and you look at what may be the engine of the street the most flexible and rewarding bike on the planet.

Rotate the engine is completely new chassis wonderfully useful dual pipe circumference, which provides additional rigidity against the old grid layout Ninja, while maintaining a close to life the design leads to a beautiful country. The new frame is a thin, lightweight, compact and aesthetically pleasing, but the swingarm is forged axle holders to the rear wheel arch, through the suspension travel in style. The new backbone of the sub-frame provides a 10 percent increase in towing capacity. Along with the new suspension settings front and rear (there is a greater comfort from 2012 41 mm front fork and single rear shock), the entire platform installation - which includes the new intelligent road tires Dunlop II - to extend the ' ethos of "sporty-yet-comfortable," won both the 650 model Ninja fans over the years.

It 'a better car, even with a large handlebar 20 mm compared to the previous version, and 2 pieces of foam on site assembly, which is thicker than before. Both the handlebars and saddle are mounted on wheels and footrests, more vibration-free comfort. And still enjoy all that good ergonomics, it sets a new instrument cluster with analogue tachometer above the LCD information display speed, distance meters, fuel consumption, remaining range, etc., where the light bus info to the right.

People see you riding with a motorcycle will see lighter and aggressive style, as well. The all-new chassis is more clearly defined and that our race winning super sport machines, with flowing lines and a tapered heater, which fits perfectly with the rest of the bike. Body parts to make the new Ninja 2012 650 more slippery in terms of aerodynamics, while an adjustable, 3-position of the windscreen allows riders to customize the interior is still air cocoon of comfort maximum driving. The heat is transmitted from the engine more efficiently than before, thus adding to the comfort level.

Together, all this sweet a medium-sized steering wheel, which is excellent for beginners and vets - is not easy to obtain. Pull out the light and engine torque 650, light-pull clutch and throttle to complete the job quickly work.
