50 Years of Retro Style
Marking exactly 50 years since the game-changing Z650-B1 of 1976, the 2026 Kawasaki Z650RS carries that timeless Z1-inspired styling forward into a genuinely modern middleweight package — a true retro sport for riders who want classic looks without giving up real-world performance.
Vehicle Details

The Highlights
At its heart is a 4-stroke, 2-cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine displacing 649cc, delivering a claimed 67.0hp at 8,000rpm and 48.5lb-ft (65.8Nm) at 6,700rpm — genuinely midrange-focused output that makes everyday riding relaxed and overtakes clean and decisive. Sharing its engine and slim, lightweight trellis frame with its quick and nimble Supernaked counterpart, the Z650RS trades a forward-leaning stance for a more upright, natural riding position.
