Kawasaki Z650, Z650 RS Get Discount Of Up To Rs 27,000 In January

Kawasaki India has announced New Year discounts of up to Rs 27,000 on the Z650 and Z650RS, valid until January 31, 2026. The offer follows similar price cuts recently introduced on the Ninja and Versys range, extending the benefits to Kawasaki's popular Z650 duo.

With the discount applied, the Z650RS becomes a more appealing option for buyers. The 2026 model, launched earlier with E20 fuel compliance, carried a Rs 14,000 premium over its predecessor. Kawasaki India has announced limited-period price reductions on its Z650RS and Z650 models. The neo-retro Z650RS now costs Rs 7.63 lakh (ex-showroom) after a Rs 20,000 cut, while the Z650 receives a larger Rs 27,000 reduction, bringing its price to Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

These offers apply only to MY25-manufactured units and remain valid until January 31, 2026. Interested buyers are advised to check with authorised Kawasaki dealerships for availability and further details before making a purchase. 

Kawasaki Z650 RS

Both the Kawasaki Z650 and Z650RS share the same liquid-cooled 649cc twin-cylinder engine, which is fully E20 fuel compliant. The motor produces 68 hp and 64 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox featuring a slip/assist clutch for smoother operation.

Interestingly, this unit is among the few large-capacity twin-cylinder engines still using a 180-degree firing order, a departure from the more common 270-degree setups that mimic the feel and sound of a V-twin. This gives the Kawasaki twins a distinct character compared to most modern middleweights.

At their current price point, the Z650 and Z650RS stand out with virtually no direct rivals. Most other twin-cylinder motorcycles under 100hp have now moved up to larger 750-800cc categories, leaving Kawasaki's 650s in a unique position within the market.

Also, Kawasaki India has announced major discounts across its lineup, with the highest benefit on the Ninja ZX-10R. The superbike now carries a price tag of Rs 18.29 lakh after a massive Rs 2.50 lakh reduction. The Ninja 1000 SX also receives a notable Rs 1.43 lakh discount, bringing its ex-showroom price to Rs 12.99 lakh. Meanwhile, the ZX-6R does not get a direct price cut but comes bundled with a premium Ohlins steering damper worth Rs 83,000, adding significant value.
